J.S. Bach: Prelude And Fugue In D Major, BWV 532 - (Praeludium)

Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ,
Ich bitt, erhor mein Klagen,
Verleih mir Gnad zu dieser Frist,
La?
mich doch nicht verzagen;
Den rechten Glauben, Herr, ich mein,
Den wollest du mir geben,
Dir zu leben,
Meinm Nachsten nutz zu sein,
Dein Wort zu halten eben.
1. Chorus
I call to You, Lord Jesus Christ,
I beg You, hear my cries,
grant me mercy at this time,
do not let me despair;
the true faith, Lord, I mean
that You would give me,
to live for You,
to be of use to my neighbor,
to keep Your word faithfully.
