Overview

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,

that we who are alive,

who remain behind until the coming of the Lord,

will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep,

because the Lord himself will descend from heaven

with a cry of command,

with the voice of an archangel,

and with the trumpet of God,

and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive, who remain behind,

will be caught up in the clouds together with them

to meet the Lord in the air.

And so we will be forever with the Lord.

- 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

Und nach dem Tod da werd ich sein

Bei Christo meinem Herren.

And after death, I will be

with Christ, my Lord.

- Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt

[The Lord Is My Faithful Shepherd]

Bach cantata BWV 112
