fiction.wikisort.org - WriterLudwig 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
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
The Mühlhausen cantors Joachim a 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" (Also in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary, #465)
- EG (Nordelbien) 558: "Amen, Gott Vater und Sohne"
Other recognition
In 1998, a street named Helmboldstraße, next to Bonatstraße, was named after him in Mühlhausen.
