Auf meinen lieben Gott

[1] In a 1611 hymnal, the hymn "Auf Jesum Christ steht all mein Thun" appears as a text written by Sigismund Weingärtner, an author about whom little is known.

For the next hymn, "Auf meinen lieben Gott", no author name is given: it has been assumed that Weingärtner wrote this text too.

[1][2] The beginning is "Auf meinen lieben Gott trau ich in Angst und Not", expressing trust in God even in anxiety and distress.

[10] Johann Sebastian Bach closed his 1723 cantata Bringet dem Herrn Ehre seines Namens, BWV 148, with a four-part setting of the hymn tune.

[11] Bach included a stanza from the hymn as the closing chorale of his cantata Ich habe meine Zuversicht, BWV 188, probably in 1728, in a movement without text.
