- Chorale Text
German:
1. Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz?
Bekümmerst dich und trägest Schmerz
Nur um das zeitliche Gut?
Vertrau du deinem Herren Gott,
Der alle Ding erschaffen hat.
2. Er kann und will dich lassen nicht,
Er weiß gar wohl, was dir gebricht,
Himmel und Erd ist sein!
Dein Vater und dein Herre Gott,
Der dir beisteht in aller Not.
3. Weil du mein Gott und Vater bist,
Dein Kind wirst du verlassen nicht,
Du väterliches Herz!
Ich bin ein armer Erdenkloß,
Auf Erden weiß ich keinen Trost.
--Bach Cantata 138
English:
1. Why art thou troubled, O my heart?
Art anxious and bowed down with grief
For merely temporal worth?
Put trust in this thy Lord and God,
Who ev'rything created hath.
2. He can and would thee not forsake,
He knows full well what thou dost lack;
Heaven and earth are his.
Thy Father and the Lord thy God,
Who stands by thee in ev'ry need.
3. Since thou my God and Father art,
Thy child wilt thou abandon not,
A father's heart thou hast!
I am a wretched clump of earth,
On earth I know not any hope.
