Text: Caspar Ziegler, 1648; tr. TLH, 1941, alt.

This hymn is #93 in The Lutheran Hymnal of 1941, but the first-person singular pronouns are translated as first-person plurals.
The Lutheran Kantor Project aims to provide recordings of the great Lutheran chorales which are lesser known among English-speaking Lutherans. These recordings are designed to increase familiarity with tune and text. It is the prayer of the founder of The Lutheran Kantor Project that Lutherans will rediscover the great treasury of hymns from their heritage, passed down over the last five centuries. May God bring it to pass.
