Cantata CLXXXIII.

Sie werden euch in den Bann thun. Sixth Sunday after Easter (“Exaudi”)1 (? 1735)

For the melody of the concluding Choral, the anonymous “Helft mir Gott’s Güte preisen,” see Cantata 11.

The words of the Choral are the fifth stanza of Paul Gerhardt’s Whitsuntide Hymn, “Zeuch ein zu deinen Thoren,” first published in the Berlin (1653) edition of Crüger’s Praxis Pietatis Melica, to its own melody. It is also set in the Hymn books to the tune “Von Gott will ich nicht lassen”:

  • Du bist ein Geist, der lehret,
  • Wie man recht beten soll;
  • Dein Beten wird erhöret,
  • Dein Singen klinget wohl;
  • Es steigt zum Himmel an,
  • Es steigt und lasst nicht abe,
  • Bis der geholfen habe,
  • Der allein2 helfen kann.
  • B.G. xxxvii. 74.

Translations of the Hymn are noted in the Dictionary of Hymnology, p. 1300.
