J. S. Bach - "Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig", BWV 26 (6/6)

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

"Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig (2)", chorale from the cantata "Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig", BWV 26, mov. VI

Lyrics for mov.VI
------------------
German (original)
Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig
Sind der Menschen Sachen!
Alles, alles, was wir sehen,
Das muss fallen und vergehen.
Wer Gott fürcht', bleibt ewig stehen.

English (translation)
Ah, how fleeting, ah, how empty
Are all mortal matters!
All that, all that which we look at,
That must fall at last and vanish.
Who fears God shall stand forever.

I love the idea of how the music grows to a crescendo at the beginning with your video easing in:) The music is simply uplifting in sound with the choir. Thank you!
