Composed for the Third Sunday after Epiphany in 1725, this cantata was given its premiere on January 21, 1725 as part of Bach’s chorale cantata cycle, written during his second full year in Leipzig. The chorale text was written by Albert, the Duke of Prussia, and it deals specifically with the topic of God’s will.
