J.S. Bach: Wenn wir in Höchsten Noten sein, BWV 641, Chorale Prelude from the Little Organ Book. Piano transcription by Angela Hewitt. Lark Powers, piano
1. When in the hour of utmost need We know not where to look for aid, When days and nights of anxious thought Nor help nor counsel yet have brought, 2. Then this our comfort is alone, That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, O faithful God, to Thee, For rescue from our misery, 3. To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, Repenting sore with bitter sighs, And seek Thy pardon for our sin, And respite from our griefs within: 4. For Thou hast promised graciously To hear all those who cry to Thee, Through Him Whose naalone is great, Our Saviour and our Advocate. 5. And thus we come, O God, to-day," And all our woes before Thee lay, For tried, forsaken, lo! we stand, Perils and foes on every hand. 6. Ah! hide not for our sins Thy face, Absolve us through Thy boundless grace, Be with us in our anguish still, Free us at last from every ill; 7. That so with all our hearts we may Once more our glad thanksgivings pay, And walk obedient to Thy word, And now and ever praise the Lord.

1. When in the hour of utmost need
We know not where to look for aid,
When days and nights of anxious thought
Nor help nor counsel yet have brought,
2. Then this our comfort is alone,
That we may meet before Thy throne,
And cry, O faithful God, to Thee,
For rescue from our misery,
3. To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes,
Repenting sore with bitter sighs,
And seek Thy pardon for our sin,
And respite from our griefs within:
4. For Thou hast promised graciously
To hear all those who cry to Thee,
Through Him Whose naalone is great,
Our Saviour and our Advocate.
5. And thus we come, O God, to-day,"
And all our woes before Thee lay,
For tried, forsaken, lo! we stand,
Perils and foes on every hand.
6. Ah! hide not for our sins Thy face,
Absolve us through Thy boundless grace,
Be with us in our anguish still,
Free us at last from every ill;
7. That so with all our hearts we may
Once more our glad thanksgivings pay,
And walk obedient to Thy word,
And now and ever praise the Lord.
