Dietrich Buxtehude's chorale preludes are all wonderful, but BuxWV 185 is certainly one of my favourites. Although the text is about following God and his Word and has quite the stringent character, Buxtehude offers a beautiful lyrical cantus firmus, heavily enhanced by ornamentations. Many registrations could work for this piece, however, I went for the basic choice: the Principal 8'.
