Wo soll ich fliehen hin

"Wo soll ich fliehen hin" (Where should I flee) is a hymn in seven stanzas by the German Baroque poet, Lutheran minister and hymn-writer Johann Heermann.

Nonetheless, in 1630 in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland), Silesia, he published a volume of hymns, Devoti musica cordis, Hauss-und Herz-Musica (Latin, German: "music for a devout heart, house and heart music"), including "Wo soll ich fliehen hin".

These hymns have been described as "the first in which the correct and elegant versification of Opitz was applied to religious subjects, ... distinguished by great depth and tenderness of feeling, by an intense love of the Saviour, and earnest but not self-conscious humility".

[3][4] "Wo soll ich fliehen hin" is sung to the hymn tune of "Auf meinen lieben Gott", Zahn No. 2164.

[5][6] Johann Sebastian composed the chorale cantata Wo soll ich fliehen hin, BWV 5, based on the hymn.
