- Chorale Text
German
Ach Gott! erhör mein Seufzen und Wehklagen,
Lass mich in meiner Not nicht gar verzagen;
Du weisst mein schmerz,
Erkennst mein Herz:
Hast di mir's aufgelegt, so hilf mir's tragen.
Ich weiss, du hast noch meiner nicht vergessen,
Daß ich vor Leid mir sollt mein Herz abfressen;
Mitten in Not
Denk an Gott,
Ob eer mich schon mit Kreuz und Angst tut pressen
--Jakob Peter Schechs (d. 1659)
English
Oh God! hear my sighing and complaints,
Let me in my need not despair;
You know my pain,
Know also my heart:
You have presented these burdens, help me also to bear them.
I know you have never forgotten me.
In the midst of need
Think of God,
Who has already redeemed me through his suffering on the cross.
--approximate translation by James Pressler
