Aria (Duetto) [Soprano, Bass] - Soul (Soprano), Jesus (Bass)

Violino I/II, gli stromenti all'unisono (flauto, oboe, viola d'amore, viola da gamba), Continuo

Soprano:
How should I embrace you, most beloved of souls?

Bass:
You must deny yourself and forsake everything.

Soprano:
How shall I recognise the everlasting light?

Bass:
Recognise me in faith and do not vex yourself!

Soprano:
Come, teach me, saviour, to scorn the earth!

Bass:
Come , soul, go forward through suffering to joy!

Soprano:
Ah draw me to you, my beloved, so that I may follow you!

Bass:
I bestow on you the crown after trouble and disgrace.
