Cantata CIII.

Ihr werdet weinen und heulen. Third Sunday after Easter (“Jubilate”) (? 1735)

The melody of the concluding Choral is the anonymous “Was mein Gott will, das g’scheh’ allzeit” (see Cantata 65).

The words of the concluding Choral are the ninth stanza of Paul Gerhardt’s Hymn, “Barmherzger Vater, hochster Gott,” first published in the Berlin (1653) edition of Johann Cruger’s Praxis Pietatis Melica, to the melody “Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt,” to which it is generally set in the Hymn books:

  • Ich hab’ dich einen Augenblick,
  • O liebes Kind, verlassen;
  • Sieh’ aber, sieh’ mit grossem Gluck
  • Und Trost ohn’ alle Maassen
  • Will ich dir schon
  • Die Freuden-Kron’
  • Aufsetzen und verehren.
  • Dein kurzes Leid
  • Soll sich in Freud’
  • Und ewig Wohl1 verkehren.
  • B.G. xxiii. 94.

Form. Simple (Tromba, Flauto, 2 Ob. d’amore, Strings, Continuo). Choralgesänge, No. 348.
