2. Chorus, mixed voices. ' For the time is at hand when they who slay you shall boast them a service true unto God to have done.'
3. Air, Contralto. ' Christians ever must be patient, Serve their Master without fear ... Till at length He shall appear.'
4. Chorale, Tenor. ' '0 God, how grievous is the woe In these dark days afflicts me so.' 5. Recitative, Bass. ' Enraged the Prince of Hell ... doth persecute Christ's faithful people ... Good Christians flourish like the palm-tree's branches ...'
6. Air, Soprano. ' With constant faith ... we know God ever keepeth watch ; Though all around the storm is roaring ... The sun behind the shadow laughs.'
7. Chorale, mixed voices.
' My soul, to God resign thee .... Whatever may betide thee, In all things will He guide thee ...
