About this Work
Johann Sebastian Bach composed the church cantata Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren (Praise the Lord, the mighty King of honor),[1] BWV 137, in Leipzig for the twelfth Sunday after Trinity and led the first performance on 19 August 1725. The chorale cantata is based on the hymn by Joachim Neander, a general song of praise published in 1680.
