About this Work
Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn (I have given over to God's heart and mind),[1] BWV 92, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach for use in the Lutheran service. He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for Septuagesimae and first performed it on 28 January 1725. It is based on the 1647 hymn "Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn" by Paul Gerhardt, and is the only chorale cantata Bach based on a hymn by Gerhardt. The topic of this chorale is faith in God and the submission to his will. In nine movements, it is one of Bach's longer cantatas in terms of structure, text and music.
