agree

Ulrike MacKay: na dann, wunderbar! ;-)) / You should try and find out also about the other hymn - obviously you found a link to the words for those, I couldn't... :-(

8 mins

-> the other one I couldn't find in that bnhymnbook funny enough, but thanks

agree

Hildegard Klein-Bodenheimer (X): Das klingt auch auf Deutsch sehr feierlich. Ich höre das Harmonium schon spielen.

14 mins

-> genau; ich selbst spiele Klavier für unseren Gottesdienst, und liebe diese alten hymns, there is so much 'theology in them, thanks

agree

Erik Freitag: Astrein! Auch wenn es nicht das selbe Lied sein sollte, wäre es eine super Übersetzung, die auch auf die Melodie paßt!

14 mins

-> es ist in der Tat dieselbe Melodie; habe das Buch selbst; war ein Geschenk; danke

agree

Inga Jakobi

1 hr

-> thanks, Pirily

agree

agree
