by Salomo Franck (1659 - 1725)

Recitativo. Wie hast du dich, mein Gott
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wie hast du dich, mein Gott,
In meiner Not,
In meiner Furcht und Zagen
Denn ganz von mir gewandt?
Ach! kennst du nicht dein Kind?
Ach! hörst du nicht das Klagen
Von denen, die dir sind
Mit Bund und Treu verwandt?
Da warest meine Lust
Und bist mir grausam worden;
Ich suche dich an allen Orten,
Ich ruf und schrei dir nach,
Allein mein Weh und Ach!
Scheint jetzt, als sei es dir ganz unbewußt.
