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 "O Welt, ich muß dich lassen." Here's the TLH arrangement:
I'm not completely confident in the accuracy of my translation of the last few lines of the sixth verse.
"Gedanke" (thought) in the seventh verse is singular, but I made it plural in my 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 "Nun lob, mein Seel, den H[erren]." Here's the arrangement from TLH:
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
The phrase "Seelenspeis und Trank" in the first verse is really "food of the soul and drink," but I shuffled this around a bit to get "food and drink of the soul," which is obviously the intent. I'm not very confident in my translation of "daß wir / baß dir / in dem allen / wohl gefallen" as "So that we / Want to / Please You / Most of all," and the frequent line breaks there didn't help any. If I understand correctly, there's an ambiguity in the line "solches wollest du uns geben." I translated it as "Such do You want us to give," but I think "Such do You want to give to us" is also a valid translation. "Uns" could be either accusative (setting up an indirect statement with the infinitive "geben") or dative.
I made some changes to the lines "Ach Herr, laß uns doch nehmen nicht / dein werthes Nachtmahl zum Gericht!" at the beginning of the second verse to get closer to what I think the intent was. As they stand, the lines mean something like "O Lord, let us however not take / Your worthy meal as a meal!" I moved the adverb "not" (how the meal is to be taken is what should be negated, not the taking itself) and supplied "merely" for clarification, resulting in "O Lord, let us however take / Your worthy meal not merely as a meal!"
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 "Wie schön leuchtet der M[orgenstern]." Here's the TLH arrangement:
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
Which You received when You were hung on the cross.
Kyrie eleison.
With is, my heart will be stirred;
It will from this hour on be adorned purely
By Your blood with beautiful faith
[And] in You can stand before God,
Kyrie eleison.
5 He who may [ask] of the physician whom the disease plagues
Asks of Him with desire.
O sweet Jesus, show what deep wounds
Will also be found in me!
Kyrie eleison,
You are indeed the Physician Whom I call,
In Whom I hope with longing.
Help, O true man and God!
[If] You do not help, I am dead.
Kyrie eleison.
6 You call all to Yourself in mercy,
[Those] who are laborious and burdened;
You will forgive all their misdeeds
[And] free them from their burdens.
Kyrie eleison.
Oh, come Yourself, lay on Your hands
And turn the heavy load from me;
Make me free from sins
[And] grant me strength to serve You.
Kyrie eleison.
7 You want to draw spirit and heart to You;
Take me to You; give me to Your own.
You are the vine; I am Your shoot;
Take me in You so that I live.
Kyrie eleison.
Oh, in myself, I find vain sins;
In You, they must soon disappear.
In myself, I find the torment of hell;
In You, I must be blessed.
Kyrie eleison.
8 Come, O my Friend, O come, You most beautiful Crown!
Jesus, come and dwell in me.
In me, I want to greet You with prayer often,
Yes, to kiss [You] with love and faith.
Kyrie eleison.
Come and give me Your love
So there will be nothing that troubles me;
Your gentleness and patience,
The fruit of Your mercy and grace.
Kyrie eleison.
9 These are the blossoms that are able to heal me
And grant me the juice of life
So that I now tear all vice out of myself
[And] apply myself to serve You.
Kyrie eleison.
In You I have what I should have
To refresh myself from the spring of Your mercy;
Let me eternally be in You,
And remain eternally also in me.
Kyrie eleison.
Johann Heermann, 1630.
The title "the bread of life" in the second verse comes from John 6.
I think "nimm mich mir" (take me to myself) in the seventh verse is a mistake for "nimm mich dir" (take me to You). "Nimm mich mir" doesn't seem to make much sense, and there are other clauses in the verse that have a similar structure as "nimm mich dir." The vine imagery is taken from the beginning of John 15.
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 "Gott sei gelobet und geb[enedeiet]." Here's the TLH arrangement:
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
"Drink, all [of you], My blood; with you I remain;
"You should not forget Mine."
You have spoken it, therefore it is true;
You are all-powerful, therefore
No thing is impossible with You at all.
5 And if my heart does not here understand
How Your body can be in many places
Simultaneously and be shown,
Yet I trust in Your words;
How this can be I leave to You;
Your word is enough for me
For whom it remains only to believe.
6 I believe, O dear Lord; I believe;
Help my weak belief!
Yet I am nothing but dust and ash;
Do not deprive me of Your Word.
Your Word, Your baptism, and Your Meal
Comfort me in this vale of tears;
There lies my treasure buried.
7 O Lord, help that we worthily
Go to Your table,
Mourn our sin sincerely,
And again refresh ourselves
With Your service and great good deed
In which we trust incessantly
And improve our lives.
8 For such, Your comforting meal,
Lord Christ, be highly praised.
Preserve this for us because everywhere
The world rages against it.
Help that Your body and blood alone
May be my comfort and refreshment
In my last hour, Amen.
Samuel Kinner. (According to others: Sam. Körner.)
The sixth verse contains an allusion to Mark 9:24 ("'I believe; help my unbelief!'") and possibly also a reference to Matthew 6:21 ("'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'"). I found it interesting that the German binomial "Asch und Staub" has the opposite order as the English "dust and ash."
This hymn appears as "Lord Jesus Christ, Thou hast Prepared" in The Lutheran Hymnal (#306) and as "Lord Jesus Christ, You Have Prepared" in Lutheran Worship (#246) and The Lutheran Service Book (#622). The LW version is a different translation from the TLH and LSB versions and is abbreviated. According to the Gesangbuch, the text is sung to the tune "Herr Jesu Christ, du höchst." but TLH pairs it with "Herr Jesu Christ, du hast bereit't," and LW and LSB pair it with "Du Lebensbrot, Herr Jesu Christ."
This is the first hymn in a new sub-section: "Morgenlied vor der Communion" "Morning Songs before Communion."
German text in the Gesangbuch:
1 Gott sei Lob! der Tag ist kommen,
da ich Jesu werd vertraut,
da ich, aller Schuld entnommen,
werd in Gottes Huld geschaut.
Gott sei Lob, daß mir bereit
ist des Lammes Hochzeit heut,
da mir Gott zum ewgen Leben
will den ganzen Jesum geben.
2 Gott, ich komm bei frühem Morgen
zu dir als dein liebes Kind,
leg in deine Vatersorgen
mich mit Leib und Seel geschwind;
Abba, Vater, sorg für mich,
daß ich ja heut würdiglich
als dein Gast bei dir erscheine
und mit Jesu mich vereine.
3 Christe, du Lamm Gottes, höre,
weil du trägest meine Sünd,
als mein Schatz und Wirth bekehre
deine Braut, dein Schäflein sind;
deiner Güte ich vertrau,
führe mich auf grüner Au,
speise mich, mir stets zu gute,
heut mit deinem Leib und Blute.
4 Heilger Geist, den ich umfasse,
bleibe heut und stets bei mir,
mich mit Beistand nicht verlasse,
sondern hilf, daß selig hier
mir zum Nutze, Gott zum Preis
ich genieß die Himmelsspeis,
daß ich dadurch christlich lebe,
freudig meinen Geist aufgebe.
5 Nun ich lieg dir, Gott, zu Füßen,
Gottes Liebe schmücke mich,
meines Jesu Blutvergießen
mache würdig mich durch sich.
Hilf mir drauf, du Vaterherz,
hilf mir, Jesu Tod und Schmerz,
hilf mir, Tröster, heut auf Erden,
daß ich möge selig werden.
Emilie Juliane, Gräfin Schwarzburg, +1706.
My prose translation:
1 To God be praise! the day is come
When I will trust Jesus,
When I, taken away from all guilt,
Will be seen in God's grace.
To God be praise that for me
The marriage [feast] of the Lamb is prepared to-day,
When for eternal life,
God will give me the whole Jesus.
2 God, in the early morning I come
To You as Your dear child,
Lay myself in Your Fatherly care
With body and soul diminished;
Abba, Father, care for me
So that indeed to-day I worthily
Appear with You as Your guest
And unite myself with Jesus.
3 Christ, You Lamb of God, hear,
Because You carry my sin;
As my treasure and host
Reclaim Your bride, [for we] are Your lambs;
In Your goodness I trust;
Lead me on green pasture;
Feed me, constantly for my good,
With Your body and blood to-day.
4 Holy Spirit, Whom I grasp,
Remain to-day and constantly with me;
Do not leave me without aid,
But rather help so that blessed here,
For my benefit, for the praise of God,
I enjoy the meal of Heaven
So that thereby I live as a Christian
[And] joyfully give up my spirit.
5 Now I lie at Your feet, God;
May God's love adorn me;
May the pouring out of my Jesus' blood
Make me worthy.
Help me because of it, You Heart of the Father;
Help me, Jesus' death and pain;
Help me, Comforter, to-day on earth
So that I may become blessed.
Emilie Juliane, Countess Schwarzburg, +1706.
The call "Abba, Father" in the second verse seems to be drawn from either Romans 8:15 or Galatians 4:6.
The beginning of the third verse seems to be based on John 1:29 ("'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"), and the verse also contains an allusion to Psalm 23:2 ("He makes me lie down in green pastures.").
The line "mich mit Beistand nicht verlasse" in the fourth verse is something like "me with aid do not desert," which is an odd sort of construction. I translated it as "Do not leave me without aid."
I translated "schmücke" and "mache" in the fifth verse as subjunctives ("May adorn" and "May make"), but I'm not sure this is correct. They don't have the right forms to be indicatives, though, and if they were imperatives, "mache" would have a second person pronoun referring back to it, not a third person like it does in "durch sich" (which I left out of my translation because it seemed redundant).
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 "Freu dich sehr, o meine S[eele]." Here's the TLH arrangement:
2 Der heilig Leichnam ist für uns gegeben zum Tod,
daß wir dadurch leben; nicht grüßer Güte
konnt er uns geschenken,
dabei wir sein solln gedenken.
Kyrieleison.
Herr, dein Lieb so groß dich zwungen hat,
daß dein Blut an uns groß Wunder that
und bezahlt unser Schuld,
daß uns Gott ist worden hold.
Kyrieleison.
3 Gott geb uns allen seiner Gnaden Segen,
daß wir gehn auf seinen Wegen
in rechter Lieb und brüderlicher Treue,
daß uns die Speis nicht gereue.
Kyrieleison.
Herr, dein Heilig Geist uns nimmer laß,
der uns geb zu halten rechte Maß,
daß dein arm Christenheit
leb in Fried und Einigkeit,
Kyrieleison.
Dr. M. Luther, 1524.
My prose translation:
1 May God be praised and blessed,
Who Himself has fed us
With His flesh and with His blood;
Give us that, Lord God, for [our] good!
Kyrie eleison.
Lord, by Your holy body,
Which came from Your mother Mary,
And [by] the holy blood,
Help us, Lord, out of all distress.
Kyrie eleison.
2 The holy body is given unto death for us
So that we may live by it; no greater good
Can He give us;
We should remember it.
Kyrie eleison.
Lord, Your so great love has compelled You
So that Your blood has done a great wonder for us
And pays for our guilt,
So that God is become well disposed toward us.
Kyrie eleison.
3 May God give us the blessing of all His mercy
So that we walk in His ways
In true love and brotherly loyalty,
So that the meal is not wasted on us.
Kyrie eleison.
Lord, may Your Holy Spirit never leave us,
[He] Who would grant us to maintain true moderation
So that Your poor Christendom
May live in peace and unity.
Kyrie eleison.
Dr. M. Luther, 1524.
I'm not sure, but I think "selber" in the first verse ("der uns selber hat gespeiset") is an intensive pronoun, not a reflexive pronoun acting as a direct object.
This hymn appears as "O Lord, We Praise Thee" in The Lutheran Hymnal (#313) and The Lutheran Service Book (#617) and as "O Lord, We Praise You" in Lutheran Worship (#238). In all of these, and as the Gesangbuch notes, the text is sung to "its own tune." Here's the TLH arrangement:
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
This is the first hymn in a new sub-section: "Vom heiligen Abendmahl" "Of the Holy Supper"
German text in the Gesangbuch:
1 Du Lebensbrod [sic], Herr Jesu Christ,
mag dich ein Sünden haben,
der nach dem Himmel hungrig ist
und sich mit dir will laben,
so bitt ich dich demüthiglich,
du wollest so bereiten mich,
daß ich recht würdig werde.
2 Auf grüner Aue wollest du
mich diesen Tag, Herr, leiten,
den frischen Wassern führen zu,
den Tisch für mich bereiten.
Ach, ich bin sündlich, matt und krank,
laß, Herr, mich deinen Gnadentrank
aus deinem Becher schmecken.
3 Du angenehmes Himmelbrod,
du wollest mir verzeihen,
daß ich in meiner Seelennoth
zu dir muß kläglich schreien;
dein Glaubensrock bedecke mich,
auf daß ich möge würdiglich
an deiner Tafel sitzen.
4 Tilg allen Haß und Bitterkeit,
o Herr, aus meinem Herzen,
laß mich die Sünd in dieser Zeit
bereuen ja mit Schmerzen;
du heißgebratnes Osterlamm,
du meiner Seelen Bräutigam,
laß mich dich recht genießen.
5 Zwar ich bin deiner Gunst nicht werth,
als der ich jetzt erscheine
mit Sünden allzuviel beschwert,
die schmerzlich ich beweine;
in solcher Trübsal tröste mich,
Herr Jesu, daß du gnädiglich
der Sünder dich erbarmest.
6 Ich bin ein Mensch, krank von der Sünd,
laß deine Hand mich heilen.
Erleuchte mich, denn ich bin blind;
du kannst mir Gnad ertheilen.
Ich bin verdammt, erbarme dich,
ich bin verloren, suche mich
und hilf aus lauter Gnaden.
7 Mein Bräutigam, komm her zu mir
und wohn in meiner Seelen;
laß mich dich küssen für und für
und mich mit dir vermählen.
Ach, laß doch deine Süßigkeit
für meine Seele sein bereit
und stille ihren Jammer.
8 Du Lebensbrod, Herr Jesu Christ,
komm selbst, dich mir zu schenken!
O Blut, das du vergossen bist,
komm eiligst, mich zu tränken!
Ich bleib in dir und du in mir,
drum wirst du, meiner Seelen Zier,
auch mich dort auferwecken.
Joh. Rist, 1654.
My prose translation:
1 You Bread of Life, Lord Jesus Christ,
May a sinner have You,
[A sinner] who is hungry for Heaven
And wants to revive himself with You,
So I humbly ask You;
You will so prepare me
That I become truly worthy.
2 On green pasture will You
Lead me this day, Lord,
Lead me to the fresh waters,
[And] prepare the table for me.
Oh, I am sinful, feeble, and ill;
Let, Lord, me taste Your drink of mercy
Out of Your cup.
3 You pleasant Bread of Heaven,
You will forgive me
So that in my distress of soul,
I must miserably cry to You;
[I] cover myself with Your garment of faith
So that I may worthily
Sit at Your table.
4 Blot all hate and bitterness
Out of my heart, O Lord;
Let me in this time
Indeed regret my sin with pains;
You hot-roasted paschal Lamb,
You Bridegroom of my soul,
Let me revel in You rightly.
5 Certainly, I am not worthy of Your favor,
As I now appear
Weighed down too much with sins,
Which I mourn painfully;
In such misery comfort me,
Lord Jesus, so that You mercifully
Pity the sinner.
6 I am a man sick from sin;
Let Your hand heal me.
Enlighten me, for I am blind;
You can grant me mercy.
I am condemned; have mercy;
I am lost; search for me
And help [me] according to Your mercy.
7 My Bridegroom, come here to me
And dwell in my soul;
Let me kiss You constantly
And be united with You.
Oh, but let Your sweetness
Be prepared for my soul
And calm its misery.
8 You Bread of Life, Lord Jesus Christ,
Come Yourself to give Yourself to me!
O blood that is poured out,
Come as quickly as possible to water me!
I remain in You and You in me
Therefore will You, Ornament of my soul,
Also wake me up there.
Joh. Rist, 1654.
The second verse borrows from Psalm 23, specifically verses 2 and 5. The last lines ("laß, Herr, mich deinen Gnadentrank / aus deinem Becher schmecken" "Let, Lord, me taste Your drink of mercy / Out of Your cup") may be meant to connect with "my cup overflows" from Psalm 23:5, illustrating the abundance of God's mercy.
I translated "Glaubensrock" in the third verse as "garment of faith." The context seems to suggest a connection to the Parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22, specifically verses 11-14.
"Vermählen" in the seventh verse can also mean "be married," but I went with the more generic "be united."
The line "Ich bleib in dir und du in mir" ("I remain in You and You in me") in the eighth verse echoes Jesus' description of the vine and the branches in John 15, particularly verses 4-5.
This hymn appears as "Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Living Bread" in The Lutheran Hymnal (#312) and as "Lord Jesus Christ, Life-Giving Bread" in Lutheran Worship (#248) and The Lutheran Service Book (#625). All are abbreviated forms. The Gesangbuch notes that the text is sung to the tune "Nun freut euch, lieben Chr[isten g'mein]," but TLH and LSB pair it with "Herr, wie du willst," and LW with "Aus tiefer Not II."
Here's the TLH arrangement of "Nun freut euch":
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
2 Through the priest's mouth, You speak: "My child,
"For you all sins are forgiven;
"Go in peace, sin no more,
"And always turn to Me."
3 To You be thanks for such a merciful heart,
You Who heal all pain Yourself
Through the precious blood of the Lord Christ,
Which is poured out for all sin.
4 Give us Your Spirit; give peace and joy
From now until eternity;
Your Word and Holy Sacrament
Preserve with us until the end.
Dr. Nikolaus Selnecker, 1587.
The line "durchs theure Blut des Herren Christ" ("Through the precious blood of the Lord Christ") in the third verse seems to be drawn from 1 Peter 1:18-19: "18 denn ihr wißt, daß ihr nicht mt vergänglichem Silber oder Gold erlöst seid von eurem nichtigen Wandel nach der Väter Weise, 19 sondern mit dem teuren Blut Christi als eines unschuldigen und unbefleckten Lammes" ("18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.").
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 "Erhalt uns, Herr, bei dein[em Wort]." Here's an arrangement from TLH (transposed from E minor to A minor):
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
This is the first hymn in a new sub-section: "Von der heiligen Absolution" "Of Holy Absolution"
German text in the Gesangbuch:
1 So wahr ich leb, spricht Gott, der Herr,
des Sünders Tod ich nicht begehr,
sondern daß er bekehre sich,
thu Buß und lebe ewiglich.
2 Drum Christ, der Herr, sein Jünger sandt.
Geht hin, predigt in allem Land
Vergebung der Sünd jedermann,
dems leid ist, glaubt und will ablan.
3 Wem ihr die Sünd vergeben werdt,
soll ihr los sein auf dieser Erd;
wem ihr sie b'halt im Namen mein,
dem sollen sie behalten sein.
4 Was ihr bindt, soll gebunden sein;
was ihr auflöst, das soll los sein;
die Schlüssel zu dem Himmelreich
hiemit ich euch geb allen gleich.
5 Wem ihr verkündigt diesen Trost,
daß er durch mein Blut sei erlöst,
b'hält dies Zeugniß im Herzen sein,
derselb ist los von Schuld und Pein.
6 Wann uns der Priester absolvirt,
sein Amt der Herr Christ durch ihn führt
und spricht uns selbst von Sünden rein,
sein Werkzeug ist der Dienr allein.
7 Und wenn die Sünd wär noch so groß,
so werden wir derselben los
durch Kraft der Absolution,
die hat verordnet Gottes Sohn.
8 Wem der Priester auflegt sein Hand,
dem löst Christ auf der Sünden Band
und absolvirt ihn durch sein Blut;
wers glaubt, aus Gnad hat solches Gut.
9 Das ist der heilgen Schlüssen Kraft,
sie bindt und wieder ledig macht;
die Kirch trägt sie an ihrer Seit,
die Hausmutter der Christenheit.
10 Wen nun sein G'wissen beißt und nagt,
die Sünd ihn quält, daß er verzagt,
der halt sich zu dem Gnadenthron,
zum Wort der Absolution.
11 Lob sei dir, wahrer Gottessohn,
für die heilg Absolution,
darin du zeigst dein Gnad und Güt;
vor falschen Ablaß uns behüt.
12 Ehr sei Gott Vater und dem Sohn,
samt Heilgem Geist in einem Thron,
wie es von Anfang war allzeit,
ist jetzt und bleibt in Ewigkeit.
Nikolaus Hermann, 1560.
My prose translation:
1 "As surely as I live," says God, the Lord,
"I desire not the death of the sinner,
"But rather that he would turn,
"Repent, and live eternally."
2 Therefore Christ, the Lord, sent His disciples.
"Go forth; preach in all the land
"Forgiveness of sins to everyone
"Who is sorry for it, believes, and wants [ablan].
3 "To whom you will forgive sins,
"You should loose on this earth;
"For whom you retain them in My Name,
"To him should they be retained.
4 "What you bind should be bound;
"What you loose should be loose;
"The keys to the kingdom
"I thus give to you all.
5 "To whom you proclaim this comfort
"That he would be redeemed through My blood,
"Keep this testimony in his heart,
"The same is free from guilt and suffering."
6 When the priest absolves us,
The Lord Christ conducts His office through him
And Himself pronounces us clean from sin;
The servant is merely His instrument.
7 And if the sin be yet so great
Then we will loose the same
By the power of absolution,
Which God's Son has prescribed.
8 From him on whom the priest lays his hand
Does Christ remove the bond of sin
And absolves him through His blood;
He who believes it out of mercy has such good.
9 That is the power of the holy key:
It binds and again makes free;
The church carries it at her side,
The matron of Christendom.
10 He whose conscience now bites and gnaws,
Whose sin torments him so that he despairs,
Holds onto the throne of mercy,
To the word of absolution.
11 Praise be to You, true Son of God,
For the holy absolution,
In which You show Your mercy and goodness;
From false indulgence protect us.
12 Glory be to God the Father and to the Son,
Together with the Holy Ghost on one throne,
As it was always from the beginning,
Is now, and remains in eternity.
Nikolaus Hermann, 1560.
The first verse seems to be drawn from Ezekiel 33:11: "Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?"
I couldn't find a translation for "ablan" at the end of the second verse. I suspect it's abbreviated in order to rhyme with "jedermann" from the previous line.
The third verse seems to be based on John 20:23: "'If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.'"
The fourth verse paraphrases Matthew 16:19.
This hymn appears as "Yea, as I Live, Jehovah Saith" in The Lutheran Hymnal (#331), "As Surely as I Live, God Said" in Lutheran Worship (##235), and "'As Surely as I Live,' God Said" in The Lutheran Service Book (#614), although all are abbreviated forms, omitting verses five, seven, nine, and ten of the above. In all of these, the text is paired with "St. Luke" (LSB also lists "Erhalt uns, Herr" as an alternate tune), but according to the Gesangbuch, the text is sung to the tune "Wenn wir in höchsten N[öten sein]." Here's an arrangement from TLH:
And here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
As if to reflect the meaning of the last lines of the first verse ("es sei nichts zu vergleichen / mit deiner Gnad und Liebe" "There is nothing to compare / With Your mercy and love"), the last line stands by itself, unrhymed. Likewise "den eingen Herrn und Vater" ("the only Lord and Father") at the end of the fourth verse.
There is much in the second verse that I'm unsure about.
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 "Christ, unser Herr, zum J[ordan kam]." Here's an arrangement from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
The last two lines of the first verse refer to Matthew 19:14 (the parallel passages in Mark 10 and Luke 18 have "kingdom of God" rather than "kingdom of heaven").
The lines "laß hier einen Jordan rinnen, / so vergeht der Aussatz drinnen" ("Let a Jordan flow here / So that the leprosy inside passes away") at the end of the fifth verse allude to 2 Kings 5, where Naaman is healed of leprosy after bathing in the Jordan river.
The titles Prince of Peace and Vine in the sixth verse refer to Isaiah 9:6 and the first part of John 15, respectively.
This hymn appears as "Dearest Jesus, We Are Here" in The Lutheran Hymnal (#300), Lutheran Worship (#226), and The Lutheran Service Book (#592), although all of these are abbreviated forms and omit the fourth and fifth verses of the above. The Gesangbuch notes that the text is sung to "Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier," and all of the hymnals follow this. Here's the TLH arrangement:
And here are three arrangements from Telemann's Fast allgemeines Evangelisch-Musicalisches Lieder-Buch:
