1 O Lämmlein Gottes, Jesu Christ,der du mein Trost und Leben bist,ich armer Sünder komm zu dirund bring viel Missethat mit mir.2 Ach Gott, ich hab gesündigt sehrund mir gemacht ein Bürden schwer;doch bitt ich wollst mir gnädig seinund nehmen weg all Schuld und Pein.3 Wie Sanct Johanns, der Täufer, michnur alles legen heißt auf dich,denn du seist da vom Himmelszelt,zu helfen mir und aller Welt.4 Forthin will ich gern bessern mich,deim Wort gehorchen williglich;drum, o Herr, bleib allzeit bei mirund nimm mich endlich gar zu dir.Barth. Helder, 1620.
My prose translation:
1 O Lamb of God, Jesus Christ,You Who are my Comfort and Life,I, a poor sinner, come to YouAnd bring many misdeeds with me.2 O God, I have sinned muchAnd made a heavy burden for myself;Yet I ask [that You] will be merciful to meAnd take away all guilt and torment.3 Like Saint John, the baptist, calls meSimply to lay everything on You,For You would be there from the tent of HeavenTo help me and all the world.4 Henceforth, I want gladly to improve myself,To obey Your word willingly;Therefore, O Lord, remain with me alwaysAnd take me finally completely to You.Barth. Helder, 1620.

As far as I can tell, this hymn isn't in The Lutheran Hymnal, Lutheran Worship, or The Lutheran Service Book. According to the Gesangbuch, the text is sung to the tune "Herr Jesu Christ, meins." Here's the TLH arrangement (transposed from Bb major to C major):
And here are two arrangements from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
