	From the opening chorus of Cantata 2, this Lenten text seems to reflect the human predicament well for the new century.

	Story Behind the Song This double pedal transcription is virtually unknown. The lyrics ring sadly true for the week of March 17, 2003. Lyrics German: Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein Und laß dich's doch erbarmen! Wie wenig sind der Heilgen dein, Verlassen sind wir Armen; Dein Wort man nicht läßt haben wahr, Der Glaub ist auch verloschen gar Bei allen Menschenkindern. English: Ah God, from heaven look on us And grant us yet thy mercy! How few are found thy saints to be, Forsaken are we wretches; Thy word is not upheld as true, And faith is also now quite dead Among all mankind's children. --Z. Philip Ambrose, translator
