of care and enduring sorrow<br />only for temporal possessions?<br />Place your trust in your Lord God<br />who has created everything.<br /> <br />2<br />He cannot and will not abandon you,<br />he knows well what you lack,<br />heaven and earth are his!<br />Your father and your God.<br />who stands beside you in all distress.<br /> <br />3<br />Since you are my God and father<br />you will not abandon your child,<br />you fatherly heart!<br />I am a wretched clod of earth,<br />on earth I know no consolation.<br /> <br />4<br />The rich man builds on his goods;<br />I shall trust in God’s care.<br />Although the world scorns me,<br />I believe with confidence,<br />who trusts in God will lack nothing.<br /> <br />5<br />Elias,who feeds you<br />when there is no rain for so long<br />in time of such hard famine?<br />A widow from Sidon<br />to whom you were sent by God.<br /> <br />6<br />As he lay beneath a juniper tree<br />God’s angel came from heaven<br />and brought him food and drink.<br />He went on a long jouirney<br />to the mountain named Horeb.<br /> <br />7<br />God did not forget Daniel <br />as he sat among the lions.<br />He sent his angel down,<br />he had good food brought to him<br />by his servant Habakuk.<br /> <br />8<br />Joseph was sold into Egypt,<br />imprisoned by Pharaoh the king<br />For his reverence for God<br />God made him a grerat lord<br />so that he could feed his father ad brothers.<br /> <br />9<br />The faithful God also did not forsake<br />the three men in the burning fiery furnace,<br />he sent down his angel,<br />protected them from the fire’s heat<br />and helped them in all distress.<br /> <br />10<br />Ah God, you are as rich today<br />as you were from eternity,<br />my trust stands by you;<br />be the only refuge of my soul,<br />then I have enough here and hereafter.<br /> <br />11<br />Temporal glory I happily do without,<br />only grant that I may share the eternal glory<br />that you have gained<br />by your harsh, bitter death;<br />for this I ask you, my Lord and God.<br /> <br />12<br />Everything that in this world,<br />whether it is gold, silver or money,<br />wealth or temporal possessions,<br />lasts only a short time<br />and is of no help for blessedness.<br /> <br />13<br />I thank you , Lord Jesus Christ,<br />for what has been revealed to me<br />through your truthful word;<br />bestow constancy also on me<br />for the blessedness of my soul!<br /> <br />14<br />Praise, glory and honour be given to you<br />for all your consideration for me.<br />In humility I ask you:<br />let me never from your face<br />be driven away.<br /> </div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> About: Johann Sebastian Bach composed the church cantata Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz (Why do you
