Bach - Cantata Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal... BWV 146 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

We must through much tribulation... ...enter into the kingdom of God. I desire to go to heaven... ...wicked Sodom, you and I... ...are henceforth through with each other. My abode is not here... ...for never more shall I... ...live with you in peace. I desire to go to heaven... ...wicked Sodom, you and I... ...are henceforth through with each other. Ah! to be in heaven now! How this evil world oppresses me! With weeping I rise... ...with weeping I go to bed... ...how treacherously they lie in wait for me! Mark this, O Lord... ...they hate me, and with no cause... ...as though the world had the power to kill me utterly... ...and though I live with patience and sighs... ...forsaken and despised... ...yet the world derives from my sorrow the greatest pleasure. My God, that is hard to bear. Ah! would that I, my Jesus... ...even today, were with Thee in heaven! I sow my tears with anxious heart. Yet my heart’s distress will bear me glory ... ...on the day of the blessed harvest. I am prepared to bear my cross with patience... ...I know that all my sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the splendour... ...that God shall reveal... ...to His chosen throng and me. I weep now, when the tumult of the world  seems glad at my sorrow... ...soon the time will come  when my heart shall rejoice... ...and the world weep without a Comforter. He who struggles against and fights the foe  shall be crowned... ...for you do not get carried by God to heaven.  How I shall rejoice... ...and be refreshed... ...when all passing torment is over! Then shall I gleam like stars  and shine like the sun... ...and my heavenly bliss shall not be disturbed  by grieving, howling and shouting. How I shall rejoice... ...and be refreshed... ...when all passing torment is over! Rejoice greatly, o my soul... ...and forget all misery and torment... ...since Christ your Lord calls you... ...from this valley of misery! From affliction and sorrow... ...you will journey to the joy... ...no ear has ever heard... ...that awaits you in eternity.
