Bist du bei mir See base text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Bist du bei mir, geh' ich mit Freuden
zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh'.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär' so mein Ende,
es drückten deine lieben ... Hände
mir die getreuen Augen zu!
Composition:
- Set to music misattributed to Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) and by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690 - 1749), "Bist du bei mir", <<1718, from Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach, note: the misattribution to Bach was probably due to his including the song in his Anna Magdalena Songbook; the piece was given the catalogue number BWV 508 no. 25 before the misattribution was discovered
