Mid Week 4 Hymn Preaching #823
Hymn was written by Dr. Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Was translated by Richard Massie, in the (1800- 87 ) and sung in two different Tunes, one which is Hymn #823 Deus Misereatur,Magdegburg 1524, and Hymn tune Version #824 was written by Dr Martin Luther and Tune by David Lee. 1956.
Martin Luther express the wish in his Latin mass (Formula Missae,1523) that “We had as many songs as possible in the vernacular which the people could sing during mass.” The same year He wrote several paraphrases of biblical psalms, including psalm 12, and 14, which are no longer sung; psalm 130(‘From depths of woe I cry to Thee.” LSB 607);and this Hymn, Paraphrase of psalm 67, Luther’s Paraphrase served as both example and catalyst toward the goal of providing German Songs for the Congregation.
He likely wrote the paraphrase psalm. 67 in late 1523. Since the text first appears appended to the end. Of paul Speratus 1524 German translation of the Formula Missae. On May 6,1524. A man was arrested in MagdeBurg for singing Luther's versifications of psalm 67 and 130 and selling copies of them It is possible that the earliest surviving copy of Luther's. psalm with music, a broadsheet with the tittle Der Lxjv, Deus Misereatur printed in Magdeburg in 1524, was one of the Sold.
The Hymn it is a close Paraphrase of Psalm 67, With each Hymn Stanza paraphrasing two Psalm verses verse 5 of The Psalm is omitted because it is a repeat of verse 3.
Ok this is a little brief of Hymn. Back ground.
