lutheranhymnsWhat is the hymn tune?
St. Clement, and the composer's first name is Clement. I'm assuming this is just a homage to someone else rather than extreme self-aggrandizement, but you never know.
It'll also be used for an unrelated text in this same category.
How old is the text?
It's based on a fairly ancient Greek hymn dating back to the third century! Presumably with some alterations over the millennia.
Anything else noteworthy about it?
The first and second verses are all the same sentence, the first verse only ends with a colon :p
