Transcription

Version in modern German

1. Arie

 

Der himmlischen Geister unzaehlbare Menge,
der goettlichen Herrlichkeit schoenstes, Gepraenge,
nimmt glaeubiger Seelen und Leiber in Acht.
Es moegen die Heere der Hoellen erbittern,
das Himmelheer machet die dennoch erzittern;
Es kaempfet, es sieget, es huetet und wacht.

 

2. Rezitativ

 

Doch, soll dich diese Macht umgeben,
so musst du ja nicht nach dem Fleische leben.
Bei dem ein reines Feu’r der Furcht des Hoechsten glimmt,
dem allein ist dieser Schutz bestimmt.

 

3. Arie

 

Verkehrter Schwarm der eitlen Seelen,
die boeser Geister Sklaven sind!
Ihr lasst den Schutz der Engelscharen,
ihr lasst den Himmelselber fahren
und eilet zu der Hoellen.
So toll seid ihr, so arg, so blind!

 
   

I dedicate these fruits of mine labours to Miss Grażyna Banduch.

One frukta pracey moyey poświęcam ninieyszym pani magister Grażynie Banduchównie.
