Cantata CLXXXII.

Himmelskönig, sei willkommen. Palm Sunday (1714 or 1715)

For the melody of the penultimate movement, Melchior Vulpius’ “Jesu Kreuz, Leiden und Pein,” see Cantata 159.

The words of the movement are the thirty-third stanza of Paul Stockmann’s Passiontide Hymn, “Jesu Leiden, Pein und Tod” (see Cantata 159):

  • Jesu, deine Passion
  • Ist mir lauter Freude,
  • Deine Wunden, Kron’ und Hohn
  • Meines Herzens Weide;
  • Meine Seel’ auf Rosen geht,
  • Wenn ich dran gedenke;
  • In dem Himmel eine Statt’
  • Uns deswegen schenke.

  • B.G. xxxvii. 43.

Form. Choral Fantasia in fugal form (Flauto, Strings, Continuo).
