caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Orgel von Alexander Schuke (1958, Opus 293 III/P42) auf der Westempore der Divi-Blasii-Kirche (Mühlhausen, Thüringen)
context_page_description: Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält is a chorale fantasia for organ composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in the early 18th century, likely between 1705 and 1710. The Zahn 4441a hymn tune for Justus Jonas's 1524 hymn "Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält", a paraphrase of Psalm 124, is the basis of the composition.
  A copy of the chorale fantasia resurfaced on 15 March 2008 at an auction of items from the collection of the 19th-century Bach scholar Wilhelm Rust. The piece, until then known as BWV Anh. 71, could by this discovery be authenticated as Bach's and was reassigned the number BWV 1128.

caption: The Schuke organ [de] in the Divi Blasii at Mühlhausen: this organ, built in the 1950s, re-adopted Bach's 1708 specifications for the organ that was there until the 19th century. Likely Bach had the organ that was remodelled here by Johann Friedrich Wender according to the 1708 specifications (completed in 1709) in mind when writing the Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält chorale fantasia.[1][2]
