Cantata No. 1: Wie Sch”n Leuchtet der Morgenstern 

   Movement 1: Chorus 

     How brightly shines the morning star 
     With grace and truth from the Lord, 
     The sweet root of Jesse!  
     Thou son of David from Jakob's stem, 
     My king and my bridegroom, 
     you have taken possession of my heart, 
     Lovely, kindly, 
     Beautiful and splendid, 
     Great and righteous, rich in blessings, 
     High and most richly exalted.  

Cantata No. 3: Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid 

   Movement 5: Duet  

     Whenever sorrow presses upon me, 
     I sing unto my Jesus with joyfullness.  
     Jesus helps to carry my cross, 
     About this I can devoutly say: 
     It works for the best every time.  

Cantata No. 4: Christ lag in Todesbanden 

   Movement 1: Sinfonia  (no text) 

   Movement 2: Chorus 

     Christ lay in the bonds of death, 
     Given up for our sins, 
     He has risen again 
     And has brought to us redemption (true life); 
     For this we should be joyful, 
     Give praise and thanks to God, 
     And sing halleluja, 
     Halleluja!  

   Movement 3: Duet 

     That agent, death, which could not be overcome 
     By any of mankind's children, 
     Was instigated by our sins, 
     No lack of guilt could anywhere be found.  
     So death came     
     and took power over us, 
     and held us captive in his realm, 
     Halleluja!  

   Movement 4: Aria 

     Jesus Christ, God's own son, 
     Is come to take our place 
     And hath done away with our sins, 
     Thereby taking from death 
     all of his power and force; 
     Now remains only death's mere form, 
     His sting is lost, 
     Halleluja!  

   Movement 8: Choral 

     We eat now and experience 
     the true bread of Easter; 
     Through the grace of the Word, 
     The ancient leaven shall no longer abid; 
     Christ would be our sustenance 
     And He, alone, nourish our soul, 
     Because faith will live on nothing else.  

Cantata No. 5: Wo soll ich fliehen hin 

   Movement 1: Chorus 

     Where shall I flee?  
     For I am burdoned 
     by sins both great and numerous.  
     Where shall I find salvation?  
     Even if the entire world were gathered here, 
     This would not take away my fear.  

Cantata No. 7: Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam 

   Movement 6: Aria 

     Mankind, believe this act of grace!  
     You shall not die in sin, 
     Nor decay in pits of Hell.  
     The works of man and his piety 
     amount to nothing before God.  
     We are born with sin, 
     We are by our own nature lost, 
     Faith and baptism will make sin clean, 
     So that it will not condemn us.

Cantata No. 8: Liebster Gott, wann werd' ich sterben?  

   Movement 1: Chorus 

     Dear God, when will I die?  
     My days run ever on, 
     And the decendents of ancient Adam, 
     Of whom I am one, 
     Have this, as their legacy, 
     That they for a little while, 
     Poor and sorry, this earth inhabit 
     and then become part of the earth.  

   Movement 6: Choral 

     Ruler over life and death, 
     Make my end good in the end, 
     Teach me to yield my spirit 
     In a calm and composed state of mind.  
     Help me to earn an honest grave 
     next to godly Christian men, 
     And when finally in the Earth 
     Let me not fade away to nothing!

Cantata No. 9: Es ist das Heil uns kommen her 

   Movement 1: Chorus 

     Salvation comes to us 
     By grace and sheer goodness.  
     Our deeds are no longer of use to us, 
     They cannot offer us protection.  
     Faith is what Jesus Christ looks at, 
     He has done enough for all of us.  
     He is our intercessor.  

   Movement 5: Duet  

     Lord, thou see'st not our good deeds 
     but the heart's believing power, 
     Only Faith do you accept.  
     Only Faith shall justify us.  
     All other efforts seem so feable 
     as to hardly be able to help us.  

Cantata No. 10: Meine Seel' erhebt den Herren 

   Movement 5: Duet  

     He remembers his compassion, 
     And comes to the aid of His servant Isreal.  

   Movement 7: Choral 

     Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, 
     And to the Holy Ghost.  
     As it was in the beginning, 
     Is now, and ever shall be, 
     From eternity to eternity, Amen.
