Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld

"Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld" (A Lambkin goes and bears the guilt) is a Lutheran Passion hymn in German by Paul Gerhardt. The hymn text was first published in Johann Crüger's Praxis Pietatis Melica, starting from the lost 1647 edition. Wolfgang Dachstein's 16th-century "An Wasserflüssen Babylon" melody is commonly indicated as its hymn tune, although other settings exist.

From the late 17th century Gerhardt's hymn text is used in larger vocal works such as Passion settings. With Dachstein's hymn tune it is included in the Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch.
