4 Variations du choral
Treuer Gott ich muss dir klagen (P129V)
1.Faithful God, I must lament to you
the miserable state of my heart,
even though my troubles are
better known to you than to myself!
Within myself great weakness
I often feel in temptation
when Satan wants to steal
all faith from my heart.
7.Send your help to me,
o you noble guest of my heart!
and complete the good work
that you have begun.
Kindle within me the little spark
until, after I have completed the course of my life,
I may be like those you have chosen
nd reach the goal of faith.
