lutheranhymnsDoes this allude to any other hymns?
I assume purposefully? The last phrase is "repeat the sounding joy," which I can't not associate with Joy to the World.
Is there a Trinity format?
It's a little subtle, but it's there. The three verses are addressed to God, Christ, and Gracious Spirit, in that order, but not always in the first line.
Are those the only Proper Nouns?
Not quite--we get capitals for Love twice (Love's victory, Love will welcome), which seems to be also making the point that God Is Love.
