' (May there be praise and glory and honour), 28/2a and 231, identical to the second movement of BWV Anh. 160, is a motet composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was composed some time in 1725.

Text

BWV 28/2a is an arrangement of the second movement of Bach's cantata Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende, BWV 28, with a different text, however taken from the same Lutheran hymn, that is Johann Gramann's "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" (1530).

Music

The motet has SATB voice parts. In some printings of this motet, a basso continuo is added to support the bass part, doubling it exactly.
