Recitativo: Mit Freuden folgt die Seele
 (Sung text for setting by G. Telemann)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit Freuden folgt die Seele
so einem lieblichen Befehle,
zumal, da auf der ganzen Welt nichts ist,
das ein rechtschaffner Christ
für seine Ruh und Glücke hält.
Mit Freuden greift sie zu,
wenn ihr der Tod die kalten Hände beut,
sie weiß, er bringt den müden Leib zur Ruh;
drum ist sie schon bereit,
der Welt aus diesem Leben
den Abschied ganz vergnügt zu geben.

Composition:

    Set to music by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681 - 1767), "Recitativo: Mit Freuden folgt die Seele", TVWV4:17 no. 2 [ soprano, alto, tenor, bass, and instrumental ensemble ], from Du aber, Daniel, gehe hin, no. 2
