In _five voices_, two obligato lines dance in ornate rhythms over a steady pedal line. Interwoven into this trio-sonata texture, a cantus firmus appears in a canon at the octave.

Martin Luther wrote the hymn in 1538. The text is a paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer, where each line from the prayer is fleshed out into a full stanza of poetry. The melody appeared with the text in the 1539 gesangbuch of Valentin Schumann.
