This is also translated as "Fairest Lord Jesus," and when my kids' choir sang that one years ago it was sufficiently different that it didn't ping me until much later that they're actually based on the same German text. This version, I think, is pretty popular in one of the Lutheran schools my aunts and uncles went to. It doesn't quite qualify as "final verse same as the first" but it's in that ballpark; the first verse tries a "man/crown" rhyme that the last swaps out for "man/thine," which...isn't better.
