Bach’s Erfuhrt uncle Tobias Lämmerhirt, who died on 10 August 1707, is one of several persons with whom the work has been connected but all such identifications remain speculative. The text is an anonymous compilation of Bible verses and chorale strophes.Clearly the work was intended for a funeral. You have redeemed me, Lord, you faithful God. In him we die at the right time, when he wills.Īch, Herr, lehre uns bedenken, (Psalm 90:12)ĭu hast mich erlöset, Herr, du getreuer Gott. In ihm sterben wir zur rechten Zeit, wenn er will.
