  • This is a very old Christian Hymn written by Georg Newmark in 1641.
  • The audio file is played by the Finale Synthesizer, and is not a substitute for the real thing
  • In this rendering, the first verse is in very simple 4 part harmony - a Capella.
  • The second verse is accompanied by piano with a somewhat more elaborate harmonization.
  • The third verse is in unison, with Bach's choral prelude BWV642 played on the organ.
  • It is to be rendered in a stately fashion, so the organist can play the 32nd notes reasonably.
  • There is something to be said for doing this slowly. It is quite beautiful.
