Lord God, we praise thee all of us
Cantata for St. Michael BWV 130 (BWV3 130.1), 1724
As in all cantatas for St. Michael the chorale cantata Lord God, we praise thee all of us BWV 130 from 1724 is a magnificent composition. Not only in the opening chorus and the final chorale do the three trumpets and timpani play a role, but the first aria “In hell the serpent, hot with hate" is even accompanied solely by trumpets, timpani and continuo. The second aria, “Thou, of cherubim the master", brings an unexpected contrast in which, besides the tenor and continuo, on a solo flute is heard. The original set of parts were separated from each other in the 19th century and today are scattered throughout the world. For the first time, some of the parts were taken into consideration in preparing this edition.

2 Recitativo (Alto)
with just and hearty thankfulness;
that thou hast there an angel band,
to serve and guard at thy command.Their splendor bright and lofty wisdom shows
3 Aria (Basso)
how God his grace on man bestows
to give us such a mighty legion
for our protection.
To honor him they never rest,
but go and come at his divine behest.
They serve, Lord Christ, at thy command
and guard thy feeble faithful band.
How sore we need them in our plight
to baffle Satan’s might!In hell the serpent, hot with hate,
forever plots our evil fate,
and hopes thy little band to sever....

Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir
2 Recitativo (Alto)
und sollen billig danken dir
für dein Geschöpf der Engel schon,
die um dich schwebn um deinen Thron.Ihr heller Glanz und hohe Weisheit zeigt,
3 Aria (Basso)
wie Gott sich zu uns Menschen neigt,
der solche Helden, solche Waffen
vor uns geschaffen.
Sie ruhen ihm zu Ehren nicht;
ihr ganzer Fleiß ist nur dahin gericht',
dass sie, Herr Christe, um dich sein
und um dein armes Häufelein:
Wie nötig ist doch diese Wacht
bei Satans Grimm und Macht?Der alte Drache brennt vor Neid
und dichtet stets auf neues Leid,
dass er das kleine Häuflein trennet....
