Absolutely wonderful! We are so lucky that the Netherlands Bach Society has taken it upon themselves the task of recording open source all of Bach's works. As an aide for musicology alone this is a wonderful project, but that it makes available to the general public excellent professionally done performances which are unassailable in their interpretation makes this a contribution of unmeasurable proportions to the world of music. Thank you Netherland Bach Society!
German Text (verses in bold print set by Bach) English Translation 1. Dir, dir Jehova will ich singen; denn wo ist doch ein solcher Gott wie du? Dir will ich meine Lieder bringen, ach, gib mir deines Geistes Kraft dazu, dass ich es tu im Namen Jesu Christ, so wie es dir durch ihn gefällig ist 1. Jehovah, let me now adore Thee, For where is there a God such, Lord, as Thou? With songs I fain would come before Thee; Oh, let Thy Holy Spirit teach me now To praise Thee in His name through whom alone Our songs can please Thee, through Thy blessed Son! 2. Zieh mich, o Vater, zu dem Sohne, damit dein Sohn mich wieder zieh zu dir; dein Geist in meinem Herzen wohne und meine Sinne und Verstand regier, dass ich den Frieden Gottes schmeck und fühl und dir darob im Herzen sing und spiel 2. O Father, draw me to my Savior That Thy dear Son may draw me unto Thee; Thy Spirit guide my whole behavior And rule both sense and reason thus in me That, Lord, Thy peace from me may ne'er depart, But wake sweet melodies within my heart. 3. Verleih mir, Höchster, solche Güte, so wird gewiss mein Singen recht getan so klingt es schön in meinem Liede, und ich bet dich im Geist und Wahrheit an so hebt dein Geist mein Herz zu dir empor, dass ich dir Psalmen sing im höhern Chor. 3. Grant that Thy Spirit prompt my praises, Then shall my singing surely please Thine ear; Sweet are the sounds my heart then raises, My prayer in truth and spirit Thou wilt hear. Then shall Thy Spirit raise my heart to Thee To sing Thee psalms of praise in high degree. 4. Denn der kann mich bei die vertreten mit Seufzern, die ganz unaussprechlich sind, der lehret mich recht gläubig beten, gibt Zeugnis meinem Geist, dass ich dein Kind und ein Miterbe Jesus Christi sei, daher ich Abba! Lieber Vater schrei. 4. For He can plead for me with sighings That are unspeakable to lips like mine; He bids me pray with earnest cryings, Bears witness with my soul that I am Thine, Joint heir with Christ, and thus may dare to say: O heavenly Father, hear me when I pray! 5. Wohl mir, dass ich dies Zeugnis, darum bin ich voller Trost und Freudigkeit und weiß, dass alle gute Gabe, die ich von dir verlange jederzeit, die gibst du und tust überschwänglich mehr als ich verstehe, bitte und begehr. 5. O joy ! our hope and trust are founded On His lure Word, and witness in the heart; 1 know Thy mercies are unbounded, And all good gifts Thou freely wilt impart, Nay, more is lavis'd by Thy bounteous hand, Than we can ask or feek or understand. 6. Wohl mir, ich bitt in Jesu Namen, der mich zu deiner Rechten selbst vertritt, in ihm ist alles Ja und Amen, was ich von dir im Geist und Glauben bitt: Wohl mir, Lob Dir! itzt und in Ewigkeit, dass du mir schenkest solche Seligkeit. 6. O joy ! In His name we draw near Thee, Who ever pleadeth for the sons of men ; 1 ask in faith and Thou wilt hear me, In Him Thy promifes are all Amen. O joy for me ! and praifs be ever Thine, Whose wondrous love has made such blessings mine!
Thank you. But may I point out that the old-fashioned letter which is like an "f" without the crossbar, is actually a "long s". Have a great day! Jesus is Lord! :--}>
"Je veux te chanter, pour toi , Jéhovah Je chanterai pour toi, Jéhovah; car où y a-t-il un dieu tel que toi ? Je veux t'apporter mes chansons, oh, donne-moi la force de ton esprit pour le faire au nom de Jésus-Christ, comme il te plaît à travers lui" Magnifiquement interpreté ! Daniels est très convaincant et l'accompagnement à l'unisson ! Merci à la NBS pour ce moment musical exceptionnel !
Fantástico! Bach es maestro entre maestros. Desconocía esta pieza hasta que llegué hasta aquí; prodigiosa interpretación. Internet puede ser y es un arma terrible en malas manos, pero cuando uno ve que sirve también para divulgar estas maravillas... bueno, es entonces cuando se dice que no todo está perdido.
One day, when I retire, I will listen to Charles Daniels singing Bach alongside historical instruments everyday. Oh wait, I'm doing that now. The power of the internet well used. Thank you!
I love your channel so much! Such an amazing performance! Pure energy and beauty! Bach is the greatest copmoser ever! Thank you maestro bach! and thank you for sharing this masterpiece!
I find this channel to be one of the best on all of the RUclips areas I follow (and truthfully I am not a huge Bach fan). But the availability of this kind of free music listening self-education for the average person from probably the overall best Bach musicians on Earth is always a shock to me. I wonder how many people don't realize the opportunity they miss to be a more educated person by not engaging with this channel (and others like it). There should be way more subscribers if we were a more educated society, in my own opinion of course.
You have by far the best audio quality of any classical music video available on youtube. This piece will not be one of my favourites. It is very very good but just not quite there. But while listening to this, I couldn't help but admire your quality. It really helps to appreciate the music as a whole which is so important for classical music! Thank you!
The unadorned precision and (deceptive) simplicity remind me of a performance of Beethoven's "Adelaide" by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore: Less is truly more, in both.
Jehovah, let me now adore Thee, For where is there a God such, Lord, as Thou? With songs I fain would come before Thee; Oh, let Thy Holy Spirit teach me now To praise Thee in His name through whom alone Our songs can please Thee, through Thy blessèd Son! O Father, draw me to my Savior That Thy dear Son may draw me unto Thee; Thy Spirit guide my whole behavior And rule both sense and reason thus in me That, Lord, Thy peace from me may ne’er depart, But wake sweet melodies within my heart. Grant that Thy Spirit prompt my praises, Then shall my singing surely please Thine ear; Sweet are the sounds my heart then raises, My prayer in truth and spirit Thou wilt hear. Then shall Thy Spirit raise my heart to Thee To sing Thee psalms of praise in high degree.

If anything UNESCO can do for mankind, providing financial support to NBS is the most worthwhile thing it can do.
What a wonderful tenor voice! Thank you, Charles Daniels.

Delightful clean and tuned voice, well done tenor gentleman Charles Daniels and dear fellows!

Incredible how a something can sound so beautiful
Just perfect. No show. Just beauty. Thank you.

Божественно! Благодарю всех музыкантов и конечно за чудесный вокал! Браво!!!!💐💐💐
I was hearing without looking at the video and I thought it was a young singer. Amazing voice! Full of energy.
Perfect tenor Charles Daniels with the same instrumental accompaniment gave me once again the perfect pleasure in beautiful Johann’s sacred song 🎵😌🎶
👏 Bravo! So uplifting and well performed by all members. Much Bach love from South Africa.
I think there is no channel like this which shares the greatest performance of barogue music🙂
Amazing... Simply amazing
You know you love a song when it pulls you away from whatever you are doing and gives you waves of goosebumps
Lovely phrases and articulated very elegantly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bravo~!! Wunderbar!!
Bester Tenor~!!♡
This is so beautiful! I am going to learn it by heart!
Thank you so much!
J'écoute passionnément votre ensemble. J'aime la grande qualité de votre travail. Bravo!

Bravo, Sr. Daniels!!!, Que Bella Voce!

Voce meravigliosa
Wonderful!
*error in the description*: Menno van Delft speelt kistorgel en niet klavecimbel
Great performance! Isn’t that a reed organ instead of a harpsichord?
👏🏻
♥️♥️♥️
I absolutly love that performance! I noticed you uploaded the same recording of that piece in 2019. Is there a reason for that reupload?
Van Delft plays the positive :)
🔥
Удивительный тенор.
What does the singer sing about? I don't understand much of it.
Jehovah, let me now adore Thee,
For where is there a God such, Lord, as Thou?
With songs I fain would come before Thee;
Oh, let Thy Holy Spirit teach me now
To praise Thee in His name through whom alone
Our songs can please Thee, through Thy blessèd Son!

That Thy dear Son may draw me unto Thee;
Thy Spirit guide my whole behavior
And rule both sense and reason thus in me
That, Lord, Thy peace from me may ne’er depart,
But wake sweet melodies within my heart.
Grant that Thy Spirit prompt my praises,
Then shall my singing surely please Thine ear;
Sweet are the sounds my heart then raises,
My prayer in truth and spirit Thou wilt hear.
Then shall Thy Spirit raise my heart to Thee
To sing Thee psalms of praise in high degree.
