Bist du bei mir
Language:

Bist du bei mir, geh' ich mit Freuden
zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh'.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär' so mein Ende,
es drückten deine lieben [schönen]1 Hände
mir die getreuen Augen zu!

Note: the misattribution to Bach is probably due to his including the song in his Anna Magdalena Songbook.
