Meinen Jesum Laß Ich Nicht
"" ("I shall not leave my Jesus") is a German Lutheran hymn, with lyrics by Christian Keimann written in 1658. The theme of the hymn is trust in Jesus, based on memorial sermons for John George I, Elector of Saxony recalling conversations of the elector with his minister on his deathbed. The hymn inspired composers to vocal settings. Johann Sebastian Bach based his chorale cantata ''Meinen Jesum laß ich nicht'', BWV 124 on the first melody by Andreas Hammerschmidt ( Zahn No. 3449), and Max Reger used a later melody by Johann Ulich for a chorale cantata in 1906. The hymn appears, with Ulich's tune, in the Protestant hymnal '' Evangelisches Gesangbuch'' as EG 402, in modernized German as "Meinen Jesus lass ich nicht". History Christian Keimann worked as director of a Gymnasium in Zittau when he wrote the hymn. It was first published in Andreas Hammerschmidt's choral book ''Fest-, Buß- und Danklieder'' (Songs of feast, penitence and thanks) of 1659, and was probably wri ...
