| Text: | "Herr, gib, dass ich dein Ehre / ja all mein Leben lang / von Herzensgrund vermehre, / dir sage Lob und Dank! / O Vater, Sohn und Geist, / der du aus lauter Gnade / abwendest Not und Schaden, / sei immerdar gepreist." |

| Comments: | The number of voices has been reduced to 4. I have notated the cantus firmus an octave lower than Bach did, and some notes have been changed in order to avoid parallels which would be easily heard in a transcription. |
