Edition notes: The original order of parts is 2nd - 1st - [Instrumental bass] in the opening and closing symphonies, and Tenor - [Alto] - Treble - [Bass] - [Instrumental bass] in the sung section. The alto and tenor voice parts are given in the treble clef an octave above sounding pitch in the source. The first verse of the text is underlaid in the source, with three further verses printed after the music: the first of these has been underlaid editorially here. The penultimate 8-syllable line of the text is sung twice by the treble and tenor parts. The first time bar has been added editorially, in order to accommodate the repeat back to halfway through bar 16 which is shown in the source.
