Cantata CV.

Herr, gehe nicht in’s Gericht. Ninth Sunday after Trinity (c. 1725)

The melody of the concluding Choral is the anonymous “Wachet, doch, erwacht, ihr Schläfer” (see Cantata 78).

The words of the Choral are the eleventh stanza of Johann Rist’s Lenten Hymn, “Jesu, der du meine Seele” (see Cantata 78):

  • Nun, ich weiss, du wirst mir stillen
  • Mein Gewissen, das mich plagt.
  • Es wird deine Treu’ erfullen,
  • Was du selber hast gesagt:
  • Dass auf dieser weiten Erden
  • Keiner soll2 verloren werden,
  • Sondern ewig leben soll,
  • Wenn er nur ist glaubensvoll.
  • B.G. xxiii. 144.
