Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden
zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende,
es drückten deine schönen Hände
mir die getreuen Augen zu.
If you are with me, I will go gladly
to my death and to my rest.
Ah, what a delightful end would this be for me,
if your lovely hands close my faithful eyes.
The song comes from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel's opera Diomedes, oder die triumphierende Unschuld (Diomedes or triumphant innocence) and was arranged by Johann Sebastian Bach for his Anna Magdalena Bach book.
