J. S. Bach, Cantata BWV 42
Am Abend aber desselbigen Sabbats
(depicts Christ's first appearance to the Apostles after His resurrection)

Aria [Alto]

Wo zwei und drei versammlet sind
Where two or three are gathered together

In Jesu teurem Namen,
in Jesus's beloved name,

Da stellt sich Jesus mitten ein
then Jesus appears in the midst of them

Und spricht darzu das Amen.
and says to them Amen.

Denn was aus Lieb und Not geschicht,
For what happens from law and necessity

Das bricht des Höchsten Ordnung nicht.
does not break the arrangements of the most high God.
