lutheranhymnsWhat key is it in?
Unclear. Maybe G minor, but it ends on a C-minor chord, so...mode ii? Not a very common type anyway.
Is it basically just a paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer?
Yes, padded out by Luther to make it sort-of scan. With one caveat, which is for a different post.
Any fun rhymes?
"rescue us"/"success to us" is weird but amusing enough to stand out. On the other hand, they were kind of phoning it in with "Forgive our sins, as we forgive/when others hurt us as we live." As opposed to all those jerks who hurt us when we're not living, we don't have to forgive them.
