Cantata LXXXIV.

Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Glücke. Septuagesima Sunday (1731 or 17321 )

The melody of the concluding Choral is Georg Neumark’s “Wer nur den lieben Gott lasst walten” (see Cantata 21).

The words of the Choral are the twelfth stanza of Emilie Juliane Countess of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt’s funerary Hymn, “Wer weiss, wie nahe mir mein Ende” (see Cantata 27):

  • Ich leb’ indess in dir vergnuget,
  • Und sterb’ ohn’ alle Kümmerniss.
  • Mir g’nuget, wie es mein Gott2 fuget,
  • Ich glaub’ und bin es ganz gewiss:
  • Durch deine Gnad’ und Christi Blut
  • Machst3 du’s mit meinem Ende gut’.
  • B.G. xx. (i) 98.

Form. Simple (Oboe, Strings, Continuo). Choralgesange, No. 373.
