Section Listing
- Chorus: Jesu, der du meine Seele. An expressively chromatic passacaglia with many episodes of free counterpoint. The soprano, above this, sings the chorale tune unadorned. g minor
- Aria (Soprano, Alto): Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten. A deliciously contrasting and vivacious duet. B♭ Major
- Recitativo (Tenor): Ach! ich bin ein Kind der Sünden. Secco recitative. d minor-c minor
- Aria (Tenor): Das Blut, so meine Schuld durchstreicht. An aria with obbligato flute at its most characteristic. This movement is distinctive thanks to its rising scale patterns and frequent leaps. g minor
- Recitativo (Bass): Die Wunden, Nägel, Kron und Grab. Recitative with string accompaniments. E♭ Major-f minor
- Aria (Bass): Nur du wirst mein Gewissen stillen. A dance-like movement characterized by a flowing oboe line interupted by initial chords alla francese. c minor
- Chorale: Herr, ich glaube, hilf mir Schwachen. A plain chorale setting. g minor
