"Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr" (From my heart I hold you dear, o Lord) is a Lutheran hymn in German by the Protestant theologian and reformer Martin Schalling, written in Amberg in 1569 and first printed in 1571.[1][2] It is sung to an anonymous melody,[3] Zahn No. 8326, which appeared in a tablature book for organ in 1577.[1][4] The hymn is often used for funerals, especially the third and last stanza,[5] "Ach Herr, laß dein lieb Engelein" (Ah Lord, let thine own angels dear).[6] It appears in the current German Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG).
