Now Thank We All Our God Hymn - Gods Country QVT Productions

Now Thank We All Our God Hymn Words: Martin Rinkart, cir­ca 1636 (Nun danket alle Gott); first appeared in Praxis Pietatis Melica (Devotional Tunes, Sweet as Honey) by Johann Crüger (Berlin, Germany: 1647); translated from German to English by Catherine Winkworth, 1856.
Music: Nun Danket, attributed to Johann Crüger, 1647; harmony by Felix Mendelssohn, 1840. Though the tune is found Crüger's Praxis Pietatis Melica, and is attributed to Crüger, Catherine Winkworth believed Martin Rinkart wrote the tune in 1644. Martin Rinkart, a Lutheran minister, was in Eilenburg, Saxony, during the Thirty Years' War. Soon afterward, the Thirty Years' War ended, and Rinkart wrote this hymn for a grand celebration service. It is a testament to his faith that, after such misery, he was able to write a hymn of abiding trust and gratitude toward God.

to tomburley--- there are bible verses showing christians asking other christians for their prayers. thus christians would intercede on behalf of other christians, and christians asked other christians to intercede for them. sometimes we ask mary to intercede for us, yet i seldom ( if ever ) have heard someone claiming to gather in the name of mary. furthermore, the baptisms are done in the name of the father and son and holy ghost, and not done in the name of mary or the pope.

Dear TVnorth, I love this hymn but there is one voice which overwhelms all the others in the choir and it really ruins it for me. Great words though.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (February 27), I played this as the closing hymn. It is #840 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

@coventrygardens  Not so. Apostolica succession is believed by more than just Roman Catholics.

@nonezoner my apologies. I should have looked at the earlier posts. You basically expressed my sentiments. I need not have posted except for the thank you.

[MrJonathanSwift]

Thank you for posting this hymn. The author lost many family members in the Thirty Years War. It is a wonder he was able to write such a hymn in spite of the hardships suffered.

This was the closing at my Lutheran (LCMS) confirmation service.  We sang it a little faster than this.

[chucksfan1]

Yes, we would have sung it up tempo just a bit - not too fast or you lose that great emotion rendered by the words and meaning. You need to sing this at the top of your voice with great enjoyment.
