Good Friday: St. John's Passion, Parts 10, 11, 12 and 13

The Passion according to St. John
set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach
Parts 10, 11, 12 and 13

~~~~~

Ich, ich und meine Sünden,
Die sich wie Körnlein finden
Des Sandes an dem Meer,
Die haben dir erreget
Das Elend, das dich schläget,
Und das betrübte Marterheer.

I, I and my sins,
those which are like grains
of sand beside the sea,
These have awakened in you
the sorrow the strikes you,
And the distressing torment.
