Section Listing
- Chorus: Sehet, welch eine Liebe. A motet-style movement rare for Bach's cantatas. This, combined with the colla parte instrumentation lend the movement a "sever, archaic character"1. e minor
- Choral: Das gat er alles uns getan. A plain chorale setting. G Major
- Recitativo (Alto): Geh, Welt! Secco recitative. C Major-D Major
- Choral: Was frag ich nach der Welt. A plain chorale setting. D Major
- Aria (Soprano): Was die Welt. Full of vigorous figuration, a "fun" aria. b minor
- Recitativo (Bass): Der Himmel bleibet mir gewiß. Secco recitative. G Major
- Aria (Alto): Von der Welt verlang ich nichts. Alto and oboe d'amore, in the same register, lend this a slower dance feel. G Major
- Choral: Gute Nacht, o Wesen. A plain chorale setting. e minor
