From Bach’s Cantata BWV 60, written as only a Lutheran could write (think – Law/Gospel):
|
Fear (Alto):
Mein letztes Lager will mich schrecken,
My death bed will terrify me. |
|
Hope (Tenor):
Mich wird des Heilands Hand bedecken,
I shall be covered by my Saviour’s hand. |
|
Fear (Alto):
Des Glaubens Schwachheit sinket fast,
My weak faith is rapidly failing. |
|
Hope (Tenor):
Mein Jesus trägt mit mir die Last.
My Jesus bears my burden with me. |
|
Fear (Alto):
Das offne Grab sieht greulich aus,
The prospect of the open grave is terrifying. |
|
Hope (Tenor):
Es wird mir doch ein Friedenshaus.
For me it will be a house of peace. |
