He composed it in Leipzig for the occasion of "Ratswechsel ", the inauguration of a new town council in a church service, probably in 1742.  Parts of the cantata appeared in a wedding cantata (BWV 120a ) and a cantata (BWV 120b ) commemorating the Augsburg Confession in 1730.  Bach reworked the choral second movement for the "Symbolum Nicenum" of his Mass in B minor.

Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland: "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland " (original: "Nu kom der Heyden heyland ", English: "Now come, Saviour of the heathens") is a Lutheran chorale of 1524 with words written by Martin Luther, based on "Veni redemptor gentium " by Ambrose.  It was printed in the Erfurt "Enchiridion" of 1524.  The chorale was used as the prominent hymn for the first Sunday of Advent for centuries.  It was used widely in organ settings by Protestant baroque composers, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach: he set it as the opening chorale prelude BWV 599 of Orgelbüchlein; and three times—as BWV 659 (one of his best known organ compositions), BWV 660 and BWV 661—in his Great Eighteen Chorale Preludes.  Bach used the hymn in his chorale cantata "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland", BWV 62 (1724) and in the opening chorale fantasia of his earlier cantata "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland", BWV 61 , BWV 61 (1714).  Max Reger composed a chorale prelude as No. 29 of his 52 Chorale Preludes, Op. 67 in 1902.

The last chorale cantata he wrote in his second year in Leipzig was "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern", BWV 1, first performed on Palm Sunday, 25 March 1725.  In the ten years after that he wrote at least a dozen further chorale cantatas and other cantatas that were added to his chorale cantata cycle.
