Gott, gib dein Gerichte dem Könige, BWV Anh. 3

Statue of Bach at St Nicholas Church

Gott, gib dein Gerichte dem Könige (God, give now thy judgement unto the King), BWV Anh. 3, is a lost cantata composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach composed the work in Leipzig in 1730 for a civic occasion, the Ratswechsel (the inauguration of a new town council).^[1]

Five of the cantatas for the Ratswechsel which Bach wrote in Leipzig have survived. The event was usually held annually in St. Nicholas Church. As it was a festive occasion, Bach would presumably have included trumpets in the orchestra for this lost cantata.

Text

The text is by Picander, who draws on the psalms. It was published in 1732.
