Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin

Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630)

Original Text

English Translation

 

Mit Fried und Freud
ich fahr dahin in Gottes Willen,
getrost ist mir meinHerz und Sinn, sanft und stille.
Wie Gott mir verheißen hat:
der Tod ist mein Schlaf worden.

In Peace and Joy
I go my way by the will of God.
my heart and mind are comforted, soft and still.
As God has promised me:
Death has become a sleep for me.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Early Masters of the German Baroque on October 26, 1996.
