"The lyrics are a translation of Philipp Melanchtons distichon ''Vesperam iam venit''. This translation is published first as 8th stanza of a song ''Danket dem Herrn heut und allzeit'' in a 1570 collection of some songs by Herman to be sung after dinner (''an stadt des Gracias zu singen, nach dem Essen''). In 1611 Selnecker used this 8th stanza as the first of his own choral ''Ach bleib bei uns'' as it became in use in lutheran churches (e.g. BWV6)"

¶Lyrics / Text

Ach bleib bey uns, HErr Jesu Christ/ weil das End verhanden ist/ dein Wort O HErr das ewig Liecht/ laß ja bey uns außleschen nicht/ In dieser letzten b'trübten Zeit/ gieb uns auch Bestendigkeit/ daß wir Predigt und Sacrament/ rein behalten biß ans End.
