Ludwig Helmbold, also spelled Ludwig Heimbold, (21 January 1532 – 8 April 1598) was a poet of Lutheran hymns.[1] He is probably best known for his hymn "Nun laßt uns Gott dem Herren", of which J. S. Bach used the fifth stanza for his cantata O heilges Geist- und Wasserbad, BWV 165; Bach also used his words in BWV 73, 79 and 186a.

Biography[edit]


Helmbold was born in Mühlhausen. He became a professor of Philosophy an der Erfurt University in 1554. In 1571 he was appointed a minister at the Marienkirche in Mühlhausen, later as Superintendent.[2]


Helmbold was crowned poeta laureatus by Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, in 1566 on the Reichstag at Augsburg.[2]



Hymns[edit]


The Mühlhausen cantors Joachim à Burck and Johannes Eccard set many of Helmbold's more than hundred hymns to music. Some of his works were used by Johann Sebastian Bach in his cantatas, such as




  • Herr, wie du willt, so schicks mit mir, BWV 73


  • Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79


  • Ärgre dich, o Seele, nicht, BWV 186a


  • O heilges Geist- und Wasserbad, BWV 165.


A few of his hymns are still included in the German Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG):



  • EG 320: "Nun lasst uns Gott, dem Herren"

  • EG 365: "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen"

  • EG (Nordelbien) 558: "Amen, Gott Vater und Sohne"



Other recognition[edit]


In 1998, a street named Helmboldstraße, next to Bonatstraße, was named after him in Mühlhausen.
