8. Aria (S, B) Soul, Jesus
(Soul and Jesus)
Come, my Jesus,
{ } with refreshment
Yes, I'm coming
And delight in thine appearing
{ }
For thee in my grace appearing.
This my
{ } spirit,
This thy perish
Which shall { } flourish flourish
And not { } perish
And in its misfortune's
{ } cavern
Here from its afflictions'
Go to ruin.
{ }
Shalt thou merit
I must e'er in sorrow hover,
{ }
Healing through the grapes' sweet flavor.
Yes, ah yes, I am forsaken!
{ }
No, ah no, thou hast been chosen!
No, ah no, thou hatest me!
{ }
Yes, ah yes, I cherish thee!
Ah, Jesus, now sweeten my spirit and bosom!
{ }
Give way, all ye troubles, and vanish, thou sorrow!
