Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sopran
Komm, mein Jesu, und erquicke,
Bass
Ja, ich komme und erquicke
Sopran
Und erfreu mit deinem Blicke.
Bass
Dich mit meinem Gnadenblicker,
Sopran
Diese Seele,
Bass
Deine Seele,
Sopran
Die soll sterben,
Bass
Die soll leben,
Sopran
Und nicht leben
Bass
Und nicht sterben
Sopran
Und in ihrer Unglückshöhle
Bass
Hier aus dieser wunden Höhle
Sopran
Ganz verderben?
Bass
Sollst du erben
Sopran
Ich muss stets in Kummer schweben,
Bass
Heil! durch diesen Saft der Reben,
Sopran
Ja, ach ja, ich bin verloren!
Bass
Nein, ach nein, du bist erkoren!
Sopran
Nein, ach nein, du hassest mich!
Bass
Ja, ach ja, ich liebe dich!
Sopran
Ach, Jesu, durchsüße mir Seele und Herze,
Bass
Entweichet, ihr Sorgen, verschwinde, du Schmerze!
Sopran
Komm, mein Jesus, und erquicke
Bass
Ja, ich komme und erquicke
Sopran
Mit deinem Gnadenblicke!
Bass
Dich mit meinem Gnadenblicke.

Note: in Bach's recitativo, this is a dialog between Seele (soul, soprano) and Jesus (bass).
