Johann Georg Albinus (6 March 1624 – 25 May 1679) was a German Protestant pastor and hymnwriter.[1] He studied at the University of Leipzig and served as a rector at the Naumburg Cathedral School and the pastor of St. Othmar's Church, both in Naumburg.[2] His hymns have been set by various composers, for instance by Johann Rosenmüller who set his hymn "Welt, ade! Ich bin dein müde" for SSATB voices (published 1652), a setting which was adopted by Johann Sebastian Bach as last movement of his cantata Wer weiß, wie nahe mir mein Ende? BWV 27 (1726).[3] Also Bach's cantata Der Friede sei mit dir, BWV 158 contains a stanza of this hymn, set to Rosenmüller's hymn tune (Zahn No. 6531).[4][5][6]
