10. Aria (T)
Be glad, O my spirit, be glad, O my bosom,
Give way now, O trouble, and vanish, thou sorrow.
Transform thyself, weeping, to nothing but wine,
For now shall my sobbing pure triumph become!
Now burneth and flameth most purely the candle
Of love and of hope in my soul and my heart,
For Jesus consoles me with heavenly joy.
