	Story Behind the Song The joyous chorale prelude celebrating the secular New Year, from Bach's Orgelbüchlein (or Liturgical Year). Lyrics German: In dir ist Freude in allem Leide, O du süsser Jesu Christ! durch dich wir habben himmlische Gaben, der du wahrer Heiland bist: Hilfest von Schanden, rettest von banden; wer dir vertrauet, hat wohl gebauet, wird ewig bleiben. Halleluja. Zu deiner Güte steht unser Gmüte, An dir wir kleben in tod und Leben, nichts kann uns scheiden. Halleluja English: In Thee is gladness Amid all sadness, Jesu, sunshine of my heart. By Thee are given The gifts of heaven, Thou the true Redeemer art. Our souls Thou wakest, OLur bonds Thou breakest, Who trusts Thee surely Hath built securely, He stands forever, Alleluia! Our hearts are pining To see Thy shining, Dying or living, To Thee are cleaving, Naught can us sever. Alleluia. --Tr. C. Winkworth
