Holy Saturday: St. John's Passion, Part 35

The Passion according to St. John
set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach
Part 35

~~~~~

Zerfließe, mein Herze, in Fluten der Zähren
Dem Höchsten zu Ehren!
Erzähle der Welt und dem Himmel die Not:
Dein Jesus ist tot!


Melt away, my heart, in floods of tears
to the highest praise!
Tell the world and the heavens of your anguish:
Your Jesus is dead!
