Cantata no. 92: Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn, BWV.92

Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn (I have given over to God's heart and mind), BWV 92, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach for use in the Lutheran service. He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for Septuagesimae and first performed it on 28 January 1725. It is based on the 1647 hymn "Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn" by Paul Gerhardt, and is the only chorale cantata Bach based on a hymn by Gerhardt. The chorale revolves around faith in God and submission to his will. In nine movements, it is one of Bach's longer cantatas in terms of structure, text and music.

Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn belongs to Bach's chorale cantata cycle, the second cycle during his tenure as Thomaskantor that had begun in 1723. An unknown librettist retained, unusually for the format in this cycle, five stanzas of the chorale with unchanged text and using the hymn tune, in five different settings. Other stanzas were paraphrased into texts for alternating recitatives and arias, and two of the retained stanzas were expanded by explaining text. The cantata is scored for four vocal soloists, a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of oboes d'amore, strings and basso continuo.
