Contents Wachet betet. Ah, shall not this great day of wrath = Ach, soll nicht dieser grosse Tag -- Jesus schläft, was soll ich hoffen? Peace, thou unruly sea! = Schweig', aufgethürmtes Meer! -- Erschallet, ihr Lieder. O most holy three in one = Heiligste Dreieinigkeit -- Du Hirte Israel, höre. Ye happy flock, the sheep of Jesus = Beglückte Heerde, Jesu Schafe -- Herr, wie du willt, so schick's mit mir. Ah, how perverse our will remains = Ach, unser wille bleibt verkehrt -- O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort. Awake, awake, ye sheep that wander = Wacht auf, wacht auf, verlorne Schafe -- Liebster Gott, wann werd' ich sterben. Away then, ye cares that so vainly beset me = Doch weichet, ihr tollen vergeblichen sorgen -- So du mit deinem Munde bekennest Jesum. Mark, O my heart, evermore only this = Merke, mein Herze, beständig nur dies -- Sehet, wir geh'n hinauf gen Jerusalem. The end is come, the pain is over = Est ist vollbracht, das Leid ist alle -- Wer weiss wie nahe mir mein Ende. Fare thee well thou worldly tumult = Gute Nacht, du Weltgetümmel -- Herr, deine Augen sehen nach den Glauben. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness? = Verachtest du den Reichthum seiner Gnade?
