I recorded this on Friday, and on Saturday, I listened to Bach's cantata Christus, der ist mein Leben, BWV 95, which uses this tune in the third movement. The first verse of TLH #407 "Farewell I Gladly Bid Thee" is a translation of the same text that's in the Bach cantata, so - apparently - that's the original text that goes with this tune.
