Text for BWV 253 (Chorale)
Ach bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Ach bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ,
Oh, stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ,
weil es nun Abend worden ist;
for it has now become evening;
dein göttlich Wort, das helle Licht,
your divine word, that bright light,
laß ja bei uns auslöschen nicht!
indeed, let not be extinguished from us!
