About Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Words: Joachim Neander (1680), translated by Catherine Winkworth (1863)

Tune: German chorale "Lobe den Herren" (earliest known printing: Stralsund Gesangbuch, 1665)

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty is Catherine Winkworth's English of Lobe den Herren, Joachim Neander's German hymn of praise, printed in 1680 and based on Psalms 103 and 150. Its tune is older: its earliest known printing is in a Stralsund hymnbook of 1665, set to other words, and John Julian's Dictionary of Hymnology says Neander adapted it. Julian also calls it the favourite hymn of King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia, and passes on Lauxmann's account of how the king was moved to hear it sung in a boat in the mines at Waldenburg in 1800. Our arrangement is read from The Chorale Book for England of 1863, which prints Winkworth's words with four parts edited by William Sterndale Bennett and Otto Goldschmidt, in G, adapted for beginners. These are the first two verses, for 2 to 4 singers, broad and joyful.
