Hans Leo Hassler's tune, "Herzlich thut mich verlangen," as it appears, both in melody in harmony, in J. H. Schein's Cantional, 1627.¹⁸¹⁸The harmonies, as printed here for four voices, are from Schein's "Cantional," and are a reduction from the Composer's original score of five voices, as published by him in 1601 to the words "."

My heart is fill'd with longing

To pass away in peace;

For woes are round me, thronging,

And trials will not cease.

Oh fain would I be hasting

From thee, dark world of gloom,

To gladness everlasting;

O Jesus! quickly come!
