2 Aria (Tenore)I firmly hold him, my Lord Jesus,
3 Recitativo (Tenore)
he shall be mine forevermore.
And I will dwell in him alone.
Through faith I have become his own,
his blessed presence I adore,
his comfort never fails to help us.My Jesus, I am blessed;
when here disgrace and grief I suffer,
your joy I do discover.
In turmoil you give rest
and in all fear you are my comfort.
This faithless world will soon pass by,
the heavens all shall wither,
the lust of this dark world will die.
If I would not have you, my Jesus,
what other help should I seek hither?...

Ich lasse dich nicht, du segnest mich denn!
2 Aria (Tenore)Ich halte meinen Jesum feste,
3 Recitativo (Tenore)
ich lass ihn nun und ewig nicht.
Er ist allein mein Aufenthalt,
drum fasst mein Glaube mit Gewalt
sein segenreiches Angesicht;
denn dieser Trost ist doch der beste.Mein lieber Jesu du,
wenn ich Verdruss und Kummer leide,
so bist du meine Freude,
in Unruh meine Ruh
und in der Angst mein sanftes Bette;
die falsche Welt ist nicht getreu,
der Himmel muss veralten,
die Lust der Welt vergeht wie Spreu;
wenn ich dich nicht, mein Jesu, hätte,
an wen sollt ich mich sonsten halten?...
