Aria (Tenor)
 Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt;
 Er lebt und mir zu Freude,
 Laß sein, daß ich im Leide
 In Arbeit, Müh und Plage
 Viel Stunden meiner Tage
 Muß auf der Welt verschmerzen:
 Blüht doch der Trost im Herzen.

I know that my Redeemer lives
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I know that my Redeemer lives;
He lives for my rejoicing,
May be that I in sorrow,
In labour, toil and torment,
Must many weary days here,
Here in the world be grieving,
Yet in my heart is comfort.
