SATB choir Es ist euch gut, daß ich hingehe (It is good for you that I leave),[1] BWV 108, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach.

She used two quotations from the prescribed gospel from the Farewell Discourse and closed the cantata with a stanza from Paul Gerhardt's "Gott Vater, sende deinen Geist".

The first announcement is sung by the bass as the vox Christi, the second, in the centre of the work, by the chorus in three fugues combined in motet style but unified by similar themes.

Bach scored the cantata for three vocal soloists (alto, tenor and bass), a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of two oboes d'amore, strings and continuo.

As the average interval between the performances was less than a week (they were not only for Sundays; there were additional ones for Ascension Day and Pentecost), Bach may have been composed at a correspondingly intense rate, although it is not known when he began work on them.

The first of the series was Ihr werdet weinen und heulen, BWV 103,[4][3] followed a week later by Es ist euch gut, daß ich hingehe.

[2] The poet used as the closing chorale the tenth stanza of Paul Gerhardt's hymn "Gott Vater, sende deinen Geist" (1653),[5] expressing faith in God's guidance.

Bach scored the work for three vocal soloists (alto (A), tenor (T) and bass (B)), a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of two oboes d'amore (Oa), two violins (Vl), viola (Va) and basso continuo.

[4] The musicologist Julian Mincham notes that Bach uses the key F-sharp minor selectively, "often for slowish movements of great expressive force", for example for the alto aria Buß und Reu from his St Matthew Passion.

[9] A short secco recitative expresses "Dein Geist wird mich also regieren, daß ich auf rechter Bahne geh" (Thus Your Spirit will guide me, so that I walk on the right path).
