The cantata "Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot" (BWV 39) by Johann Sebastian Bach was premiered in Leipzig on June 23, 1726. The work was composed for the first Sunday after Trinity Sunday and is dedicated to the central Christian theme of mercy and charity.

The large-scale opening chorus is particularly impressive, in which Bach makes the "breaking" of the bread vividly tangible for the listener through musical pauses and a striking rhythm. The use of recorders and oboes lends the composition a gentle, human warmth. In two parts, the cantata combines biblical texts from the Book of Isaiah and the Epistle to the Hebrews with artistic arias and a concluding chorale to create a profound appeal to compassion.
