Sunday Cantata

BWV 129 Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott

"The Lord, my God, be praised". A chorale cantata for Trinity Sunday, setting the words of this well-known hymn of praise by Johannes Olearius.

BWV 74 Wer mich liebet, der wird mein Wort halten

"If anyone loves me, he will keep my word" (John 14:23). A Christian implores Christ to dwell in him and never leave him. Christ promises to make His dwelling place in everyone who believes in Him (John 14:28), which is the source of the Christian’s hope and joy.

BWV 11 Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen

"Praise God in His kingdoms" – the Ascension Oratorio. [Translation of the libretto]

BWV 87 Bisher habt ihr nichts gebeten in meinem Namen

"Until now you have asked nothing in my name" (John 16:24). A call to fervent prayer: since we have transgressed God’s will and failed to believe the Gospel, we must entrust ourselves to His promise to have mercy on us.

BWV 166 Wo gehest du hin?

"Where are you going?" (John 16:5). A reminder to Christians not to be falsely attached to this world but always to have in mind the promise of eternal life.
