Author Libretto

Franck, Salomon (1659–1725)

Libretto

Presumably like BWV 80.3

BWV 80.3: Martin Luther (1529), four stanzas in movement 1, 5, and 8 (stanzas 1, 3-4) as well as within movement 2 (stanza 2) kept literally, supplemented by slightly modified text from Franck 1715 (see BWV 80.1, movement 2-4, 6 and 7)
