The bass line is sort of a repeating ground bass, the melody is heavily ornamented, and the 'Allegro'
marking in the middle stimulates a riotous ending. Temperament: Mean Tone-Modified 6th. Impulse reverberation added. WAV file is available in RAR

German:
Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ,
Wahr' Mensch und wahrer Gott,
Ein starker Nothelfer du bist
Im Leben und im Tod.
Drum wir allein
Im Namen dein
Zu deinem Vater schreien.
English:
Thou Prince of peace, Lord Jesus Christ,
True man and very God,
A helper strong in need thou art
In life as well as death.
So we alone
In thy dear name
Are to thy Father crying.
