Texts and Translations

Tallis If Ye Love Me If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may 'bide with you forever, ev’n the spirit of truth. John 14:15-17

Bach Cantata BWV 82a Ich habe genug, I have enough, Ich habe den Heiland, das Hoffen der Frommen, I have taken the savior, the hope of the righteous, Auf meine begierigen Arme genommen; in my eager arms; Ich habe genug! I have enough! Ich hab ihn erblickt, I have caught sight of him, Mein Glaube hat Jesum ans Herze gedrückt; my faith has pressed Jesus to my heart; Nun wünsch ich, noch heute mit Freuden now I wish this very day joyfully Von hinnen zu scheiden. to depart from here. Ich habe genug! I have enough!

Ich habe genug. I have enough. Mein Trost ist nur allein, This alone is my consolation, Dass Jesus mein und ich sein eigen möchte sein. that Jesus might be mine and I his own. Im Glauben halt ich ihn, In faith I hold him Da seh ich auch mit Simeon as I see also with Simeon Die Freude jenes Lebens schon. the joy of the life to come already. Laßt uns mit diesem Manne ziehn! Let us go along with this man! Ach! möchte mich von meines Leibes Ketten Ah! how I wish that I might from the chains of the body Der Herr erretten; be delivered by the Lord; Ach! wäre doch mein Abschied hier, Ah! how I wish my departure were here, Mit Freuden sagt ich, Welt, zu dir: joyfully I would say to you, World: Ich habe genug. I have enough.

Schlummert ein, ihr matten Augen, Rest in sleep, you weary eyes, Fallet sanft und selig zu! close with peace and blessing! Welt, ich bleibe nicht mehr hier, World, I am staying here no longer, Hab ich doch kein Teil an dir, I have indeed no part in you

11

Das der Seele könnte taugen. that could benefit my soul. Hier muss ich das Elend bauen, Here I have to cause misery to myself Aber dort, dort werd ich schauen but there, there I shall behold Süßen Friede, stille Ruh. sweet peace, calm rest.

Mein Gott! wann kömmt das schöne: Nun! My God! When will come that beautiful: Now! Da ich im Friede fahren werde when I shall go in peace Und in dem Sande kühler Erde and in the sand of the cool earth Und dort bei dir im Schoße ruhn? And there in your bosom rest? Der Abschied ist gemacht, I have said my farewells, Welt, gute Nacht! World, goodnight!

Ich freue mich auf meinen Tod, I rejoice in my death, Ach, hätt er sich schon eingefunden. Ah! how I wish it had taken place already. Da entkomm ich aller Not, Then I shall escape from all the distress Die mich noch auf der Welt gebunden. that still binds me in the world.

English Translation by Francis Browne, www.bach-cantatas.com

Purcell Thou Knowest, Lord Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; Shut not thy merciful ears unto our pray'rs; But spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty. O holy and most merciful Saviour, Thou most worthy Judge eternal, Suffer us not at our last hour, For any pains of death to fall away from Thee.

Book of Common Prayer, Order for the Burial of the Dead Purcell Rejoice in the Lord alway

Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Philippians 4:4-7
