About Now Thank We All Our God

Words: Martin Rinkart, "Nun danket alle Gott", translated by Catherine Winkworth (Lyra Germanica, second series, 1858)

Tune: Johann Crüger, "Nun danket"

Now Thank We All Our God is Catherine Winkworth's English of Martin Rinkart's German hymn Nun danket alle Gott. She printed it in 1858, in her Lyra Germanica, under the title "The Chorus of God's Thankful Children". The tune is Johann Crüger's, and the earliest known printing of words and tune together is in his hymn book Praxis pietatis melica, Berlin, of 1647 or 1648. It is meant to be sung broadly: the preface of The English Hymnal of 1906 complained, "It is distressing to hear 'Nun Danket' or 'St. Anne' raced through at about twice the proper speed", and the book marked the tune "Very slow and majestic". Our arrangement is read from The Hymnal (1916), on the harmony it credits to Felix Mendelssohn, in F as printed, adapted for beginners. These are verses 1 and 2, for 2 to 4 singers, slow and broad.
