Text known to Bach (Weimar 1713):
Von Gott will ich nicht lassen/
denn er lässt nicht von mir/
führt mich auf rechter Strassen/
da ich sonst irret sehr/
reichet mir seine Hand/
den Abend als den Morgen/
thut er mich wohl versorgen,
sey/ wo ich woll/ im Land.
English
I will never let go of God,
for he does not let go of me;
he leads me on the right path,
for otherwise I would badly stray.
He stretches out his hand to me,
in the evening as in the morning,
he well provides for me,
wherever I may be in the land.
Origination:
Melody: Erfurt 1571/72, contrafactum of Einmal ging ich spazieren, after the Italian folksong, La Monica
Text: Ludwig Helmbold (1532-98)
