Cantata LI.

Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen. Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity2 (1731 or 1732)

The words and melody of the fourth movement are from Johann Graumann’s “Nun lob’, mein’ Seel’, den Herren” (see Cantata 17).

The words are the fifth stanza of the Hymn:

  • * Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren
  • Gott Vater, Sohn, heiligem Geist!
  • Der woll’ in uns vermehren,
  • Was er uns aus Gnaden verheisst,
  • Dass wir ihm fest vertrauen,
  • Gänzlich verlass’n auf ihn,
  • Von Herzen auf ihn bauen,
  • Dass uns’r Herz, Muth und Sinn
  • Ihm festiglich anhangen;
  • Drauf singen wir zur Stund’:
  • Amen! wir werd’ns erlangen,
  • Glaub’n wir aus Herzens Grund.
  • B.G. xii. (ii) 14.

Form. Soprano Unison Choral (Violino I and II Soli, Continuo).

[2 ] Also for general use. Spitta, ii. 473, suggests a later revision of the text by Bach with a view to using the Cantata for Michaelmas Day 1737, when that Festival and the Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity coincided.
