"If anyone loves me, he will keep my word" (John 14:23). A Christian implores Christ to dwell in him and never leave him. Christ promises to make His dwelling place in everyone who believes in Him (John 14:28), which is the source of the Christian’s hope and joy.

"Praise God in His kingdoms" – the Ascension Oratorio. [Translation of the libretto]

BWV 87 Bisher habt ihr nichts gebeten in meinem Namen
