"Jesu Leiden, Pein und Tod" (Suffering, pain and death of Jesus) is a German Lutheran hymn by Paul Stockmann.
[3] Johann Sebastian Bach used the 33rd stanza, "Jesu, deine Passion / ist mir lauter Freude" (Jesus, Your passion / is pure joy to me), in his cantata for Palm Sunday, Himmelskönig, sei willkommen, BWV 182, in 1714.
[3][4] In 1724, Bach used three stanzas from the hymn (10, 20, and 34) as commenting chorales in his St John Passion.
[8][9] The final stanza (transcribed below), beginning "Jesu, der du warest tot /lebest nun ohn Ende" (Jesus who you were dead / live now without end), is used in movement 32 juxtaposed to lines of a bass aria, occurring in the narrative shortly after the death of Jesus.
Johann Caspar Vogler probably composed a chorale prelude for the hymn,[10] which was attributed to Bach.
