Johann Sebastian Bach Come ye, our way is up to Jerusalem

Cantata for Estomihi BWV 159, 1729

Read and write feedback
The text of the cantata "Seht, wir gehen hinauf gen Jerusalem" was probably performed for the first time in 1729; this would make the cantata the last one that Bach performed in Leipzig before the performance of the St Matthew Passion. No other Estomihi text by Bach points so clearly to the Passion. In terms of both content and form, Picander's text forges a link with the St Matthew Passion, whose dialogue structure is anticipated in the cantata. If both works were actually performed in 1729, this would be an exciting bridge from Picander text to Picander text.

    1 Arioso e Recitativo (Basso, Alto)

    Basso
    Come ye,
    Alto
    Come, look ye now, and say
    where goes our Lord today?
    Basso
    our way is up
    Alto
    O weary road, to climb,
    O rocky, rough ascent, we sinners all must mount it!
    How ever hard and steep we count it!
    Basso
    to Jerusalem.
    Alto
    Ah! go thou not!
    for there thy Cross is now prepared,
    where thou must hang and bleed and suffer;
    thy cruel foes will lash thee
    and will scourge thee,

    1 Arioso e Recitativo (Basso, Alto)

    Basso
    Sehet!
    Alto
    Komm, schaue doch, mein Sinn,
    wo geht dein Jesus hin?
    Basso
    Wir gehn hinauf
    Alto
    O harter Gang! hinauf?
    O ungeheurer Berg, den meine Sünden zeigen!
    Wie sauer wirst du müssen steigen!
    Basso
    gen Jerusalem.
    Alto
    Ach, gehe nicht!
    Dein Kreuz ist dir schon zugericht',
    wo du dich sollst zu Tode bluten;
    hier sucht man Geißeln vor, dort bindt man ruten;
    die Bande warten dein;
