#766: Lord of Our Life

Composer has an excellent 1600s name, Matthäus Apelles von Löwenstern! There are also lots of feminine rhymes that are masculine rhymes in disguise, we get stuff like hurling/unfurling (amazingly not for the first time), and then "fails us/assails us/appalls us" (?). Actually this is the same meter as the linked song, and while that one had a "weird but unobtrusive" mess of time signatures, this is almost plainsong with no time signatures except the breaths between lines. I guess it's not really called plainsong when Protestants do it?
