Motet Translations

Heinrich Schütz: "So fahr ich hin," SWV 379 - Geistliche Chormusik

Nikolaus Hermann, "Wenn mein Stündlein vorhanden ist"

So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ,
Mein Arm tu ich ausstrecken,
So schlaf ich ein und ruhe fein,
Kein Mensch kann mich aufwecken,
Denn Jesus Christus, gottes Sohn,
Der wird die Himmelstür auftun,
Mich führen zum ewigen Leben.
Thus I journey to Jesus Christ;
I stretch out my arm,
So I fall asleep and rest gently,
No one can awaken me,
For Jesus Christ, God's Son
Will open the gate of heaven,
To lead me to eternal life.
