Titolo: Testo Corale di Bach

Ciao a tutti, sto cercando una traduzione in italiano del corale finale
della cantata "Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam (BWV 7)".
Questo è il testo tedesco, se vi può aiutare...
7. CHORAL
Das Aug allein das Wasser sieht,
Wie Menschen Wasser gießen,
Der Glaub allein die Kraft versteht
Des Blutes Jesu Christi,
Und ist für ihm ein rote Flut
Von Christi Blut gefärbet,
Die allen Schaden heilet gut
Von Adam her geerbet,
Auch von uns selbst begangen.
Grazie a chiunque mi abbia letto :-)
Ciao

1. Chorus [Verse 1] (S, A, T, B) 
  Christ did our Lord to Jordan come, 
  His Father's will fulfilling, 
  And from Saint John baptism took, 
  His work and charge to accomplish; 
  Here would he found for us a bath 
  To wash us clean from error, 
  To drown as well our bitter death 
  In his own blood and anguish; 
  A life restored it gave us. 
  2. Aria (B) 
  Mark and hear, O mankind's children, 
  What God did baptism call. 
       True, there must be water here,
       But mere water not alone.
       God's word and Holy Ghost
       Bathes and purifies the sinners.
  3. Recit. (T) 
  This hath God shown 
  In words and in examples clear to all; 
  At Jordan's bank the Father plainly let 
  His voice resound while Christ was being baptized; 
  He said: This is my own dear Son,(1) 
  In whom I have now found great pleasure;(2) 
  He is from heaven's lofty throne 
  To help the world 
  In meek and humble form descended 
  And hath the flesh and blood 
  Of mankind's children to him taken; 
  Him take ye now as your Redeemer true 
  And listen to his precious teaching! 
  4. Aria (T) 
  The Father's voice itself resounded, 
  The Son, who us with blood did buy, 
  Was as a very man baptized. 
  The Spirit came, a dove appearing, 
  So that our faith would never doubt that 
  It was the Holy Trinity 
  Which gave baptism unto us. 
  5. Recit. (B) 
  When Jesus there endured his passion 
  And had been raised again, 
  And from this world would to his Father go, 
  Spake he to his disciples: 
  Go forth to all the world and preach to all the gentiles, 
  He who believes and is baptized on earth now 
  Shall then be justified and blessed.(3) 
  6. Aria (A) 
  Mankind, trust now in this mercy, 
  That ye not in error die, 
  Nor in hell's foul pit decay! 
  Human works and sanctity(4) 
  Never count before God's throne. 
  Sins are ours innately given, 
  We are lost by our own nature; 
  Faith and baptism(5) make them clean 
  That they not perdition bring. 
  7. Chorale (S, A, T, B) 
  The eye alone the water sees, 
  As men pour out the water, 
  But faith alone the pow'r perceives 
  Christ Jesus' blood hath given; 
  For faith there is a sea of red 
  By Christ's own blood now colored, 
  Which all transgressions healeth well 
  Which Adam hath bequeathed us 
  And by ourselves committed.

 comprensibile. Buona cantata
Grazie, ma io cercavo una traduzione in italiano per poterla cantare.
Se qualcuno ce l'ha me lo dica..
Ciao

Possiedo una raccolta di corali di Bach con testi di Achille Schinelli, ma
il corale che indichi non c'è
In realtà può essere che mi sia sfuggito, ma ho sfogliato i due volumi ben
due volte: il problema è che non c'è nessuna indicazione di catalogo (BWV
??? per capirci) ma solo il primo verso in tedesco.
Ritenta con un altro corale, forse sarai più fortunato.
Approfitto: qualcuno conosce traduzioni cantabili dei corali? Mi interessa
un italiano migliore di quello di Schinelli, un po' vecchiotto.
