It's by Homilius: no. 29 in the edition of the Homilius chorale preludes,
edited by Christop Albrecht, Edition Breitkopf no. 8541.
The same piece is also found in a small collection of Homilius chorales: 8
Choralbearbeitungen, edited by dr. Ewald Kooiman, Incognita Organo vol. 27,
Harmonia Uitgave HU 3571.
 
The chorale prelude ever has been in the official Bach edition. I have a
Kalmus Study Score no. 915 (seems to be reprinted from an old Bach
Gesellschaft edition) where this Schmucke dich is found at page 181.
