Bartholomäus Ringwaldt wrote the lyrics of the penitential hymn in 1588, and possibly also created the[which?] melody. He wrote eight stanzas, beginning "Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut, du Brunnquell aller Gnaden" (Lord Jesus Christ, you highest good, you fountain of all mercy).[1][2]
Communion hymnEdit
An anonymous poet, who was probably inspired by Ringwaldt's song, wrote a communion hymn of three stanzas, beginning "Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut, der du uns hast geladen" (Lord Jesus Christ, you highest good, who invited us), taking not only the first line, but also the rhyme of the second from Ringwaldt's hymn. Its theology follows writing by Johann Arndt, who had written in Sechs Bücher vom wahren Christentum that God is good and the highest good, which can be tasted in his sacrament. The song appeared first in Chemnitz in 1713 in the hymnal Vollständiges Chemnitzer Gesangbuch. The[which?] melody refers to Ringwaldt's song.[3]
