Jennings, copyright 2006, and is found on staves named "Continuo realization Ia", "Continuo realization Ib", and/or "Continuo realization II". While cantata No. 4 was probably composed between 1708 and 1724, individual movements may have been composed in various different years. English translation by Catherine Winkworth, 1855: On this day most blest of days, Let us keep high festival, For our God hath showed His grace, And our Sun hath risen on us all, And our hearts rejoice to see Sin and night before Him flee. Hallelujah. English translation by Richard Massie, 1854: So let us keep the festival whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is himself the joy of all, the Sun that warms and lights us. By His grace He doth impart eternal sunshine to the heart. The night of sin is ended! Alleluia! |
