Johann Christoph Bach: "Fürchte dich nicht"

Isaiah 43:1; Luke 23:43; Johann Rist

Fürchte dich nicht,
Denn ich hab dich erlöst,
Ich habe dich bei deinem Namen gerufen:
Du bist mein.
Wahrlich, wahrlich ich sage dir:
Heute, heute wirst du mir im Paradies sein.

O Jesu, du mein Hilf und Ruh,
Ich bitte dich mit Tränen:
Hilf, hilf daß ich mich bis ins Grab
Nach dir möge sehnen.
Fear not,
For I have redeemed you,
I have called you by your name:
You are mine.
Truly, truly I say to you:
This day will you be with Me in Paradise.

O Jesus, You my aid and rest,
I beseech you with tears:
Help me, that even unto the grave
I might yearn for You.
