Rezitativ: Geht fort, ihr Lüste dieser Welt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Geht fort, ihr Lüste dieser Welt,
vergebens sucht ihr mich zu fangen,
mein Geist soll nur an Jesu hangen,
den er für seinen Schatz und für sein alles hält;
der Erden Wollust ist allzeit vermischt
mit Schmutz und Bitterkeit,
wenn aber Jesus sich mit uns verbunden,
so hat man auf der Welt
den Himmel schon gefunden.
