Jesus bleibet meine Freude by Johann Sebastian Bach






According to this Wiki article: The music of the chorale movements is now best known for the piano transcription by Dame Myra Hess of Hugh P. Allen's choral version of Bach's arrangement, and is notable under the title Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring which approximately relates to "Jesus bleibet meine Freude", more closely translated as "Jesus shall remain my gladness"

I like that more literal translation, "Jesus shall remain my gladness"

Here are other versions:
