"O ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe", BWV 34a is an incomplete wedding cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. Only the complete libretto and three movements (nos. 2, 3 and 6) survive. It was most likely composed in Leipzig in 1725 or 1726. The libretto, by an unknown poet, is partly based on Scripture, incorporating verses from Psalm 128 and the Book of Numbers.
