Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut" (Lord Jesus Christ, you highest good) is the beginning of two Lutheran hymns. One is a penitential hymn, written in 1588 by Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, who possibly also created the melody.[1] The other is an anonymous communion hymn, probably based on the former, which appeared first in 1713. Johann Sebastian Bach's used the penitential hymn several times, including the chorale cantata Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut, BWV 113, based on the hymn.
