#393: A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing!
This is the "LM" version of "Lasst uns erfreuen:" there are trailing alleluias and mid-verse alleluias, so the actual original text that changes from verse to verse is really just 8888. (The other text to this tune is "All Creatures, Worship God Most High," which...also has the mid-verse alleluias, so I would expect it also to be LM, but really it's 888 88??)
The text is attributed to Bede, a British saint who lived in the 700s and is often referred to as "the Venerable Bede." A while back I was doing a crossword and one of the answers was ST BEDE, and I was stuck because Bede was too short but "the venerable Bede" was too long. Oops.
