	Story Behind the Song From the Neumeister Chorale collection. Lyrics German: Ach Gott und Herr, Wie gross und scwer Sind mein begangne Sünden! Da ist niemand, Der helfen kann, In dieser Welt zu finden. 2. Lief ich gleich wit Zu dieser Zeit Bis an der Welt ihr Enden Und wollt los sein Des Kreuzes mein, Würd ich doch solchs nicht wenden. --Johann Major, 1613 English: 1. Alas, my God, my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2. And fled I hence in my despair In some lone spot to hide me, My friefs would still be with me there And peace still be denied me. --tr. Catherine Winkworth, 1
