Ich geh und suche mit Verlangen (I go and seek with longing), BWV 49, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the 20th Sunday after Trinity Sunday and first performed it 3 November 1726.[1]
The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the Epistle to the Ephesians, Ephesians 5:15–21, "walk circumspectly, ... filled with the Spirit", and from the Gospel of Matthew, Matthew 22:1–14, the parable of the great banquet.
