Aria. Schweig, schweig nur, taumelnde...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schweig, schweig nur, taumelnde Vernunft! Sprich nicht: Die Frommen sind verlorn, Das Kreuz hat sie nur neu geborn. Denn denen, die auf Jesum hoffen, Steht stets die Tür der Gnaden offen; Und wenn sie Kreuz und Trübsal drückt, So werden sie mit Trost erquickt.
