This cantata combines two texts: Erhalt uns Herr bei deinem Wort and Verleih uns Frieden gnadiglich. The Lubeckisches Gesangbuch of 1703 included both hymns, with a verse by Johann Walter added, to the melody Erhalt uns Herr. This was the basis for Buxtehude's composition.

The composition consists of a four-part homophonic performance of the chorale verses, with a ritornello played by the accompanying instruments between the verses. A slightly polyphonic Amen completes the work. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3601500.
