Cantata LXXXIX.

Was soll ich aus dir machen, Ephraim? Twenty-second Sunday after Trinity (c. 1730)

The concluding Choral is set to the melody, “Auf meinen lieben Gott” (see Cantata 5).

The words of the Choral are the seventh stanza of Johann Heermann’s Lenten Hymn, “Wo soll ich fliehen hin?” (see Cantata 5):

  • Mir mangelt zwar sehr viel:
  • Doch, was ich haben will,
  • Ist Alles mir zu gute
  • Erlangt mit deinem Blute;
  • Damit ich uberwinde
  • Tod, Teufel, Höll’ und Sunde
  • B.G. xx. (i) 194.
