CANTATA 1511. ARIA (SOPRANO) (p3) Comfort sweet that Jesus came, Promised long and long expected; Heart and Spirit, joyous be That the Lord has chosen thee To His Heav'n with His Elected.2. RECITATIVO (BASS) (p. 10) Rejoice thee now, my heart, And bid the cares departWhich long have troubled and oppressed thee.For God hath sent His SonHis dearest, best beloved One,From evil to divest thee.He left His Heav'nly ThroneFor sinners to atoneHe burst our chains asunderAnd cured the curse we labored under.Oh, what a wondrous deedThat One from His exalted stationBecame a man, to bleedFor lowly man's salvation.3. ARIA (ALTO) (p. 10) In Jesus' meekness is my hope. As He was poor so I have plenty. He chose a state of low degree, And yet from sin He set me free, And lo. His magic Hand for me Will wreath a blessed crown of glory.4. RECITATIVO (TENOR) (p. 16) Beloved Son of God, Thou hast for me Unlocked the Heavens' gate. To Thine humilityWe owe our blessed and exalted state!Since Thou for us aloneDidst leave Thy Father's throneAnd Heaven's high and royal splendor,So now do we in love to "TheeOur hearts and souls surrender.5. CHORALE(p. 16)The gates of Heaven open wide, Within is our reward. The guardian angel stands aside; All praise to God the Lord.
