Original text and translations

German text

I. Sinfonia
Oboe, Violino I/II, Viola I/II, Continuo, Fagotto

II. Coro
Violino I/II, Viola I/II, Continuo, Fagotto
Weinen, Klagen,
Sorgen, Zagen,
Angst und Not
Sind der Christen Tränenbrot,
Die das Zeichen Jesu tragen.

III. Recitativo (Alto)
Violino I/II, Viola I/II, Continuo, Fagotto
Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen.

IV. Aria (Alto)
Oboe, Continuo
Kreuz und Krone sind verbunden,
Kampf und Kleinod sind vereint.
Christen haben alle Stunden
Ihre Qual und ihren Feind,
Doch ihr Trost sind Christi Wunden.

V. Aria (Bass)
Violino I/II, Continuo
Ich folge Christo nach,
Von ihm will ich nicht lassen
Im Wohl und Ungemach,
Im Leben und Erblassen.
Ich küsse Christi Schmach,
Ich will sein Kreuz umfassen.
Ich folge Christo nach,
Von ihm will ich nicht lassen.

VI. Aria (Tenor)
Tromba, Continuo
Sei getreu, alle Pein
Wird doch nur ein Kleines sein.
Nach dem Regen
Blüht der Segen,
Alles Wetter geht vorbei.
Sei getreu, sei getreu!

VII. Choral
Instrumentation not given. Suggested: Oboe or Trumpet, Violin I/II, Viola, Bassoon, and Continuo
Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan
Dabei will ich verbleiben,
Es mag mich auf die rauhe Bahn
Not, Tod und Elend treiben,
So wird Gott mich
Ganz väterlich
In seinen Armen halten:
Drum lass ich ihn nur walten.
