Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)

"Du wahrer Gottes und Marien Sohn", Recitative (Tenor) from the cantata "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern" (chorus), BWV 1, Mov. II

Lyrics for Mov.I
-----------------
GERMAN (original):
Du wahrer Gottes und Marien Sohn,
Du König derer Auserwählten,
Wie süß ist uns dies Lebenswort,
Nach dem die ersten Väter schon
So Jahr' als Tage zählten,
Das Gabriel mit Freuden dort
In Bethlehem verheißen!
O Süßigkeit, o Himmelsbrot,
Das weder Grab, Gefahr, noch Tod
Aus unsern Herzen reißen.

ENGLISH (translation):
O thou true Son of Mary and of God,
O thou the king of all the chosen,
How sweet to us this word of life,
By which e'en earliest patriarchs
Both years and days did number,
Which Gabriel with gladness there
In Bethlehem did promise!
O sweet delight, O heav'nly bread,
Which neither grave, nor harm, nor death
From these our hearts can sunder.
