Ach, herzigs Herz
 (Sung text for setting by M. Schillings)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ach herzigs Herz,
mein schmerz
erkennen tu,
ich hab kein ru,
nach dir steht mein verlangen.
Ist Wunder nicht:
dein freundlichs gsicht
hat mir mein herz gefangen.

Nun bin ich dir 
mit gir
von herzen gmeit
auf meinen eid
sol mir kein liebres werden
Dann du allein. 
merk wie ichs mein,
du bist mein trost auf erden.

Nim an von mir 
zu dir
mein willigs herz
an allen scherz
hab ich mich dir ergeben;
Schaff und gebeut,
kein dienst mich reut,
will freundlich mit dir leben!

Note: Finck and Schillings use different spellings of many words and capitalize all the nouns.
