The song "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan" (Whatever God ordains is right) appears three times as the opening movement of a Bach cantata, namely in BWV 98-100. While BWV 99 and 100 are chorale cantatas, the subsequent free poetry in BWV 98 (composed for the 21st Sunday after Trinity) is by an author only identified a few years ago as the Leipzig student Christoph Birkmann. After the opening chorus, the text turns from sorrow (Recitative 1) to the exhortation "Hört, ihr Augen, auf zu weinen" (Cease now, eyes, from all your weeping) (Aria 1) to confidence "Gott hat ein Herz, das des Erbarmens Überfluss" (God has a heart that always is compassionate) (Recitative 2) to the confession "Meinen Jesum lass ich nicht" (Never will I leave my Lord), which Bach sets as an aria featuring (embellished) chorale quotations, so that a final chorale is omitted. Apart from the string ensemble, Bach only asks for 2 oboes and taille (English horn); oboe 2 and taille are merely there to reinforce the choir in the first movement.
