Cantata CXLVIII.

Bringet dem Herrn Ehre seines Namens. Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity (c. 1725)

The melody of the concluding Choral is the anonymous “Auf meinen lieben Gott,” or “Wo soll ich fliehen hin” (see Cantata 5).

The words of the concluding Choral are the eleventh stanza of Johann Heermann’s Lenten Hymn, “Wo soll ich fliehen hin” (see Cantata 5)1 :

  • Fuhr’ auch mein Herz und Sinn
  • Durch deinen Geist dahin,
  • Dass ich mog’ alles meiden,
  • Was mich und dich kann scheiden,
  • Und ich an deinem Leibe
  • Ein Gliedmass ewig bleibe.
  • B.G. xxx. 260.

Form. Simple (Continuo). Choralgesange, No. 29.

[1 ] The words are lacking in the ms. The introduction of the eleventh stanza of Heermann’s Hymn in the B.G. Score is in accordance with Spitta’s suggestion (ii. 694). Erk, No. 13, proposes stanza vi of Sigismund Weingartner’s (?) “Auf meinen lieben Gott”:

  • Amen! zu aller Stund’
  • Sprech’ ich aus Herzensgrund:
  • Du wollest selbst uns leiten,
  • Herr Christ, zu allen Zeiten,
  • Auf dass wir deinen Namen
  • Ewiglich preisen. Amen!
