“Ich danke dir, o Gott, in deinem Throne” (I thank thee, God, on thy throne) is a Jakob Fabricius (1593-1654) 15-stanza 1623 hymn (not in NLGB). J. Fabricius is best known for his sacred song, "Verzage nicht, o Häuflein klein" (O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe, http://www.bach-cantatas.com/LCY/M&C-Trinity1.htm.). It is set to the melody (Zahn 3199), “Mein Hüter und mein Hirt ist Gott der Herre” (My guardian and shepherd is God my Lord), a paraphrase of Psalm 23 of Louis Bourgeois in Psaumes cinquante de David (Lyon, 1647) and Harmoniae sacrae (Görlitz. 1613). It also is set as an evening song (Terry, Ibid.: 192; Fischer Tümpel i:219). J.S. Bach set it as a free-standing chorale, BWV 350 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvLGuR6p7N0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Wlk2gIgyA).
