Thanks, Mooh and Joe.

According to D. DeWitt Wasson, ed., Hymntune Index and Related Hymn Materials, vol. II (Lanham, Maryland & London: Scarecrow Press, 1998, p. 1081), it was composed in the "16th c." (with no further info to verify it). The tune cannot be found in The Hymn Tune Index (A Census of English-Language Hymn Tunes in Printed Sources from 1535 to 1820). Presumably, the Germans do not know its origin either; no info is given in Evangelisches Gesangbuch (1995, no. 435).
