J. S. Bach - Motet "Jesu, Meine Freude" BWV 227 (11/11)

11. Weichet, Ihr Trauergeister
Possibly for the Funeral of Johanna Maria Kees, née Rappold.
Johann Franck, the six verses of the hymn, 1650 (Fischer-Tümpel, IV, #103); Rom. 8:1 and 4, 2, 9, 10, 11.
18 July 1723, Leipzig.
Text:
[Verse 6] (S, A, T, B)
"Yield, ye mournful spirits,
For my pleasure's Master,
Jesus, comes to me.
And in those God loveth,
Must as well their sadness
To pure sweetness turn.
Here I've long borne spite and scorn,
But thou bidest e'en in sorrow,
Jesus, my true pleasure."
