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.
