Notes
This chorale survives without text. The text that appears here is the one provided by editors of the Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe (BGA).
BWV 197a.7 is virtually identical, apart from two slight modifications in the penultimate measure and the octaves transfer of the bass in the penultimate phrase. This setting is featured in two early chorale collections, and since the settings appearance correspond to this setting rather than BWV 197a.7, the collections are listed here.
