Coro. Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele
 (Sung text for setting by J. Bach)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Chorus
 Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele, 
 denn der Herr tut dir Guts.

Tenor
 Was helfen uns die schweren Sorgen,
 Was hilft uns unser Weh und Ach?
 Was hilft es, dass wir alle Morgen
 Beseufzen unser Ungemach?
 Wir machen unser Kreuz und Leid
 Nur größer durch die Traurigkeit.

Sopran
 Denk nicht in deiner Drangsalshitze,
 Dass du von Gott verlassen seist,
 Und dass Gott der im Schoße sitze,
 Der sich mit stetem Glücke speist.
 Die folgend Zeit verändert viel
 Und setzet jeglichem sein Ziel.
