- Notes:
- This tune first appeared as a setting for Neander's hymn
"Wunderbarer Konig" ("Wondrous King Almighty", "Wonderful Creator",
"Wonderful and Blessed.") Tersteegen's hymn "Gott ist gegenwartig"
("God Himself is With Us") was written specifically for it. Both
combinations are still in use in German and in English translation.
