J.S. Bach: The Church Cantatas, Vol. 20: Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut, BWV 199

Cantata 199 ‘Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut’ was composed for the 11th Sunday after Trinity, 12 August 1714. The text, which concerns a sinner seeking and finding redemption, was written by Georg Christian Lehms and it is not known whether Bach knew him personally, but he may well have had access to Lehms's 1711 publication Gottgefälliges Kirchen-Opffer, which includes this text. The third stanza of Johann Heermann's hymn "Wo soll ich fliehen hin" is integrated as the sixth movement, to the melody of "Auf meinen lieben Gott". The text in the first person shows the dramatic change of a person initially feeling as "a monster in God's eyes" to finally feeling accepted as God's child.The text has no specific relation to the prescribed readings, therefore it is possible that Bach may have already composed the work before his promotion to concert master with regular Sunday services, like the other cantata on a text by Lehms.
