Evidently, "Valet will ich dir geben" was a popular tune in The Lutheran Hymnal; this is the fifth time I've recorded it.

"Valet will ich dir geben" (TLH #138)
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.

"Valet will ich dir geben" (TLH #58a)
"O Lord, How Shall I Meet Thee" is an-other hymn for which The Lutheran Hymnal has two tunes, hence "#58a." When I first went through the notation, I was surprised to discover that - compared to what I'm familiar with - the melody in the penultimate phrase is different.
