"Herzlich tut mich verlangen" is a German hymn with lyrics written in 1599 by Christoph Knoll. It contains 11 stanzas and is known for its plaintive character. The melody was adapted from a secular song by Hans Leo Hassler called "Mein G'müt ist mir verwirret." The tune, "Befiehl du deine Wege," first appeared in print in the 1601 Lustgarten Neuer Teutscher Gesäng.
The melody is associated with the prayer for a blessed death, beginning "Herzlich tut mich verlangen nach einem sel'gen End" (I do desire dearly a blessed end). The hymn has been referenced in the works of composers such as J.S. Bach and Brahms, and it is also associated with the organ piece BWV 727. The title is sometimes confused with "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden," as the two melodies are occasionally interchangeable in hymnals from the time.
