Bach - Hilfe Gott, das mir's gelinge BWV 624 - Jacobs | Netherlands Bach Society

The words of the original hymn 'Hilfe Gott, das mir's gelinge', performed by Bart Jacobs for All of Bach, were written in a sixteenth-century prison by Heinrich Müller, who was otherwise virtually unknown. This Heinrich from Nuremberg was imprisoned by the Duke of Saxony around 1526 because of his Lutheran sympathies, and he was only released in 1539.
