Mein liebster Jesus ist verloren (BWV 154) is a church cantata by J.S. Bach composed for the First Sunday after Epiphany. The seventh movement, the aria "Wohl mir, Jesus ist gefunden" (Blessed me, Jesus is found), is a duet for alto and tenor that expresses immense joy upon finding the lost Jesus. The music features homophonic vocal lines in parallel thirds and sixths, culminating in an affirmative conclusion in a faster 3/8 time, perfectly capturing the blissful affect of the text.
