English-Text in Bach-Kantate:
O Morning Star! How fair and bright!
Full of God’s grace and truth from the Lord,
The sweet root of Jesse!
You, son of David from Jacob’s stem,
My King and my Bridegroom,
Have taken possession of my heart:
Lovely, Friendly,
Beautiful and glorious, great and honest,
Rich in gifts,
High and most exalted in splendor.
The song ist even known as:
"How Lovely Shines the Morning Star"
