"Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder" ("Ah Lord, poor sinner that I am")[1] is a Lutheran hymn of 1597, with text by Cyriakus Schneegass paraphrasing Psalm 6. It is commonly sung with a 1601 melody by Hans Leo Hassler. Johann Sebastian Bach based a chorale cantata on it.

History and text

Schneegass was pastor at the of the St. Blasius church at Friedrichroda; he was also a good musician who liked to use music in church services.[2] In 1597 he paraphrased Psalm 6,[3] following the example of Martin Luther to make the psalms accessible to Protestant church services in German.

The hymn is in six stanzas of eight lines each.[2][1] It became associated with a 1601 melody by Hans Leo Hassler.[4][5]

Johann Sebastian Bach used the complete hymn as the base for Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder, BWV 135, a chorale cantata composed in 1724.[3]
