Am Abend aber desselbigen Sabbats (On the evening, however, of the same Sabbath), BWV 42, is a church cantata composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. He wrote it in Leipzig for the first Sunday after Easter. It was first performed on 8 April 1725. The cantata in seven movements was originally scored for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass soloists, a four-part choir only in the closing chorale, two oboes, bassoon, two violins, viola and basso continuo.
