tenor aria "Ergieße dich reichlich, du göttliche Quelle" from Bach cantata BWV 5

Ergieße dich reichlich, du göttliche Quelle,
Ach, walle mit blutigen Strömen auf mich!
Es fühlet mein Herze die tröstliche Stunde,
Nun sinken die drückenden Lasten zu Grunde,
Es wäschet die sündlichen Flecken von sich.

Pour forth thine abundance, thou fountain immortal,
Ah, well up with blood-streaming rivers o'er me!
My heart doth perceive here its moment of comfort,
Now sink all my burdensome sins to the bottom,
It purgeth the sin-ridden stains from itself.

A miracle of beauty.......though I personally like it done just a wee bit slower.

I actually LOVE the tenor aria in BWV 198! That for me is a masterpiece!
