Bach By One: BWV 245: Johannes-Passion Final Chorale - a podcast by Eric Christopher Perry (ECP)

Ach Herr, lass dein lieb Engelein

Ah Lord, let your dear angels

Am letzten End die Seele mein

at my final hour carry my soul

In Abrahams Schoß tragen,

to Abraham’s bosom,

Den Leib in seim Schlafkämmerlein

while my body in its narrow chamber

Gar sanft ohn eigne Qual und Pein

gently without pain or torment

Ruhn bis am jüngsten Tage!

rests until the last day.

Alsdenn vom Tod erwecke mich,

Wake me then from death,

Dass meine Augen sehen dich

so that my eyes see you

In aller Freud, o Gottes Sohn,

in all joy,o God’s son,

Mein Heiland und Genadenthron!

my saviour and throne of mercy

Herr Jesu Christ, erhöre mich,

Lord Jesus Christ, hear me,

Ich will dich preisen ewiglich!

I shall praise you eternally!
