BWV 460: From the Schemelli Gesangbuch (No. 647), Leipzig, 1736; NBA No. 45.
The melody is not by J. S. Bach and there is very little evidence that Bach had anything at all to do with the figured bass line.
BWV 510: doubtful.

Use of the Chorale Melody by other composers:

Albert Becker (1834-1899):
Gib dich zufrieden und sei stille, for chorus, Op. 55/2
