choral prelude (johann gottfried walther) & choral (johann sebastian bach, bwv 254) played on the new pipe organ of the new church in Weimar/Germany.

Chorale Text:

ENGLISH
(1)
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.

(2)
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

GERMAN
(1)
Ach Gott! erhör mein Seufzen und Wehklagen,
Lass mich in meiner Not nicht gar verzagen;
Du weisst mein schmerz,
Erkennst mein Herz:
Hast du mir's aufgelegt, so hilf mir's tragen.

(2)
Ich weiß, du hast noch meiner nicht vergessen,
Dass ich vor Leid mir sollt mein Herz abfressen;
Mitten in Not
Denk an Gott,
Ob er mich schon mit Kreuz und Angst tut pressen
--Jakob Peter Schechs (d. 1659)
