More traditional hymn goodness from RS’s parish.
This song has a text from the 1600s by Martin Janus set to WERDE MUNTER by Johann Schop from the 1700s. Once again Hymnary has the sheet music and backgrounds of the composers. I never realised that the Bach “Jesu Joy” was this song with the famous tune interspersed between lines.
Is it meant to be this slow? This version is the straight song with no additions.
