"Ach, Gott, gib du uns deine" (#211)

This is the first hymn in a new section:  "Buß- und Beicht-Lieder" "Repentance and Confession Songs"

German text in the Gesangbuch:

1 Ach, Gott, gib du uns deine Gnad,

daß wir all Sünd und Missethat

bußfertiglich erkennen

und glauben fest an Jesum Christ,

der zu helfen ein Meister ist,

wie er sich selbst thut nennen.

2 Hilf, daß wir auch nach deinem Wort

gottselig leben immerfort,

zu Ehren deinem Namen;

daß uns dein guter Geist regier,

auf ebner Bahn zum Himmel führ

durch Jesum Christum, Amen.

Dr. Samuel Zehner, 1638.

My prose translation:

1 1 O God, give us Your mercy

That we repentantly recognize

All sin and misdeeds

And believe firmly in Jesus Christ,

Who is a Master to help,

As He Himself does call Himself.

2 Help that we also, according to Your word,

Would continually live godly

To the glory of Your Name,

That Your good Spirit would govern us

And lead [us] on a level path to Heaven

Through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Dr. Samuel Zehner, 1638.

I shuffled some elements in the second and third lines of the first verse to get a smoother English translation.

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 "Kommt her zu mir, spricht."  Here's the TLH arrangement (transposed from F minor to G minor):

And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
