Available autograph inconclusive. It is without doubt a cantata by JS Bach because of its low BWV number, written in Mühlhausen for Easter 1708 or even earlier. May be assumed that Bach was inspired by the eponymous cantata by Johann Pachelbel because it refers to the same coral and also stylistically resembles. ==<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Bibliography  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Discography  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
