German text (Author: Picander?):
Saget, saget mir geschwinde,
Saget, wo ich Jesum finde,
Welchen meine Seele liebt!
Komm doch, komm, umfasse mich;
Denn mein Herz ist ohne dich
Ganz verwaiset und betrübt.
English translation © Pamela Dellal, courtesy Emmanuel Music Inc.:
Tell me, tell me quickly,
say where I can find Jesus,
whom my soul loves!
O come, come, embrace me;
for without you my heart is
completely orphaned and wretched.

Fantastic 👏. Well done - this is what I love about Bach - you can go for years listening to his music and still have gems like this to listen to for the first time.
