The Passion according to St. John
set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach
Parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
~~~~~
O große Lieb, o Lieb ohn alle Maße,
Die dich gebracht auf diese Marterstraße
Ich lebte mit der Welt in Lust und Freuden,
Und du musst leiden.
O great love, O love beyond all measure,
Which you have brought along this path of torment,
I live in this world of lust and pleasure,
And you must suffer.
