Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden
Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende,
Es drückten deine schönen Hände
Mir die getreuen Augen zu.


Klaus Mertens, baritone
Ton Koopman, organ

  • I find it interesting that there are versions with both male and female singers for this aria. Both are beautiful.

  • This song will always be very memorable to me. It was the song my cousin asked my to play on my flute at her wedding ceremony as she walked through the aisle... Very magical moment :)

  • Si tu estas conmigo, puedo ir felíz

    a la muerte a descanzar.

    Oh! Qué alegre sería mi final,

    si fueran tus queridas manos

    las que cerraran mi fieles ojos.

  • @drjewest It is not by Bach as commonly believed it is by Gottfried Heinrich Stolzel.

  • @zot500 An Alto friend of ours sang this wonderful Deutsches Lied at our wedding on 12/26/1969 in Our Savior Lutheran Church, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

  • Very good attention to period detail.
