My Heart Ever Faithful
by Johann Sebastian Bach

A composition drawn from a profound well of joy. Although written for a Pfingstkantate (Pentecost Cantata), the adapted English text here makes this also suitable for Easter.

My heart ever faithful, sing praises, be joyful!
Sing praises, be joyful, thy Jesus rose again!
Away with complaining, faith ever maintaining,
the stone was rolled away!

He came to turn us back from sin, he said that heaven is within, and that life never dies.

My heart ever faithful, sing praises, be joyful! Thy Jesus arose.
