Du sollt Gott, deinen Herren, lieben BWV 77 by Johann Sebastian Bach — Lyrics
1. O Gottes Sohn, Herr Jesu Christ,
daß man recht könne gläuben,
nicht Jedermannes Ding es ist,
noch standhaft zu verbleiben;
drum hilf du mir von oben her,
des wahren Glaubens mich gewähr,
und daß ich drin verharre.
2. Lehr du und unterweise mich,
daß ich den Vater kenne,
daß ich, o Jesu Christ, dich
den Sohn des Höchsten nenne,
daß ich auch ehr den heilgen Geist
zugleich gelobet und gepreist
in dem dreieingen Wesen.
