  • such a peaceful melody. I really like it!

    can you copy the hymn-lyrics to the

    video description? It would be fine.

  • @not4nothing1982 I'll see what I can do for you!

  • @not4nothing1982 I just put the words in the discription that I remember from gradeschool for you!

  • @Lifecomesfromwithin that´s really kind! thank you! :)

  • @not4nothing1982 You're welcome. :) The words I sang as a kid I have found nowhere else, actually.

  • This melody is still used in Catholic churches in the Netherlands. I think also in Lutheran, etc.

    Btw: nice instrument!

  • Thank you! ;p I have five pump organs now, two that work, and one that will work soon. I love Het Nederlands! Peace.

  • This is my favorite hymn

  • Hmmm. Nice.;p Thnk you for sharing that. ;p

  • I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (November 23), I played We Praise Thee, O God for Sunday School assembly. Its author is unknown, but was translated by Julia Cory. It is set to this tune, KREMSER. Just thought I'd share.

  • Nice to hear from you! ;p Thank you for the interesting information. It's nice to know the melody lives on in other works.

  • This hymn, We Praise Thee, O God, can also be used at Thanksgiving. We have used it when we have had Thanksgiving services at my church. It is #870 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship in the Praise, Thanksgiving section.

  • Yes, someone else told me it's one of the most popular hymns for thanksgiving in America, which I hadn't known. As I'm not Christian, I'm mainly intrested in it's display of classical music harmony theory, and it's folk beginnings. Mine is from an Episcopal hymnal from 1940, which was the last printing year, more or less, that had the ancient hymns with their source notes and 4 part harmony throughout. I have a Lutheran hymnal from the same year as well.

  • Thanks for that hymn ! I love the lamp too; it's so 1900's :) See you soon !
