2. Aria T
Do not drive me away from your presence,
Do not withdraw the gifts of the Spirit from me.
May your good Spirit lead me,
Governing heart, mind, and thoughts.
So that the source of its comfort will refresh us,
My God, from your presence do not drive me away.

5. Choral
Du heilige Brunst, süßer Trost,
Nun hilf uns fröhlich und getrost
In deinen Dienst beständig bleiben,
Die Trübsal uns nicht abtreiben,
O Herr, durch dein Kraft uns bereit
Und stark des Fleisches Blödigkeit
Daß wir hier ritterlich ringen,
Durch Tod und Leben zu dir dringen.
Alleluja.

2. Chorale
You holy fire, sweet comfort,
now help us joyfully and confidently
to remain constantly in your service,
although trouble is not driven away from us!
O Lord, through your strength prepare us
and sharpen the dullness of the flesh,
so that we might battle here nobly,
pressing to you through death and life.
Hallelujah.
