I am a little confused as to why the singer has changed the lyrics to this Cantata? The lyrics are either My/Thy "SAVIOR" is here/near?
Apart from the wrong lyrics, this is quite a mature sounding voive, more precision is required at the start of each phrase, but overall well executed!!
Suggestion - Trust Bach's lyrics, he chose them for a reason.
@jkeersmcmahon Here is the original German text - Mein gläubiges Herze, Frohlocke, sing, scherze, Dein Jesus ist da! Weg Jammer, weg Klagen, Ich will euch nur sagen: Mein Jesus ist nah.
Saviour is the traditional English text, and what is in my score, but the Schirmer version is actually closer to What Bach chose.
Very Nice, but I want to listen a Congregational Singing with organ... Please send...

Just an FYI - the Schirmer edition of this song has "Jesus" instead of Savior, that's how I've learned it in fact.
