Voluntary    Fugue in G minor, BWV 542b    Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations, and for vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor, and thousands of keyboard works, especially organ. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. Certainly one of the most influential composers, none of the music we know today would exist without his innovations.

Christ be with me, Christ be within me, Christ be behind me,
Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me,
Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
