Johann Sebastian Bach May Peace be unto you

Cantata for the Purification of Mary or 3rd day of Easter BWV 158, 1723/1735

Read and write feedback

The original sources for BWV 158 are lost; it is assumed that the work's origin goes back to the Leipzig years. A parallel to the "Kreuzstabkantate" (BWV 56) could indicate sometime in the second half of the 1720s. As in that work, Bach repeats in the recitative a section of the previous aria: "Da bleib ich, da hab ich Vergnügen zu wohnen…" ("There I stay, there I have pleasure to dwell…").The centerpiece of the work is the bass aria with its virtuoso solo violin part, in which soprano and oboe perform together in the first stanza "Welt ade, ich bin dein müde" ("Farewell, world, I am tired of you").

    1 Recitativo (Basso)

    May peace be unto thee be still,
    thou troubled spirit!
    Thy Saviour bides with thee,
    the ancient curse He halts.
    The recordbook of faults
    wipes clean and tears to pieces.
    May peace be unto thee.
    The Prince of Darkness there
    who would thy soul by guile ensnare,
    through Jesus Christ the Son
    is vanquished and undone.
    My heart, why art you filled with woe?
    Since God through Christ has loved thee so?
    ‘Tis He who speaks to me:
    May peace be unto thee!

    2 Aria (Basso) con Corale (Soprano)

    Basso
    World, farewell! Of thee I’m weary;
    Zion’s towers beckon me;

    1 Recitativo (Basso)

    Der Friede sei mit dir,
    du ängstliches Gewissen!
    Dein Mittler stehet hier,
    der hat dein Schuldenbuch
    und des Gesetzes Fluch
    verglichen und zerrissen.
    Der Friede sei mit dir,
    der Fürste dieser Welt,
    der deiner Seele nachgestellt,
    ist durch des Lammes Blut bezwungen und gefällt.
    Mein Herz, was bist du so betrübt,
    da dich doch Gott durch Christum liebt!
    Er selber spricht zu mir:
    der Friede sei mit dir!

    2 Aria (Basso) con Corale (Soprano)

    Soprano
    Welt, ade, ich bin dein müde,
    ich will nach dem Himmel zu,
    da wird sein der rechte Friede,
