"Now is the Lord brought to peace
My Jesus, goodnight!
The trouble is over, which our sins caused for him.
My Jesus, goodnight!
O sacred bones,
See how I weep for you with penance and remorse
That my fall has brought you into such distress!
My Jesus, goodnight!
As long as life lasts
Have a thousand thanks for your sufferings
For having valued so highly the salvation of my soul
My Jesus, goodnight!"
from J.S.Bach, St. Matthew's Passion BWV244, No. 67, libretto by C.F.Henrici (Picander), 1729.
