Ajoutée par magataganm, 08 Aoû 2016 "Vater unser im Himmelreich" (Our father in Heaven) is a Lutheran hymn in German by Martin Luther. He wrote the paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer in 1538, corresponding to his explanation of the prayer in his Kleiner Katechismus (Small Catechism). He dedicated one stanza to each of the seven petitions and framed it with an opening and a closing stanza, each stanza in six lines. Luther revised the text several times, as extant manuscript show, concerned to clarify and improve it. He chose and possibly adapted an older anonymous melody, which was possibly associated with secular text, after he had first selected a different one. Other hymn versions of the Lord's Prayer from the 16th and 20th-century have adopted the same tune, known as "Vater unser" and "Old 112th". The hymn was published in Leipzig in 1539 in Valentin Schumann's hymnal Gesangbuch (Hymnal, literally: song book), with a title explaining "The Lord's Prayer briefly expounded and turned into metre". It was likely first published as a broadsheet. The hymn was translated into English in several versions, for example "Our Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth" by Henry J. de Jong in 1982. In the current German hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG) it is number 344. According to the Württemberg Order of Church Services from 1536, it was permissible on church holidays to sing before the sermon as a replacement for the usual one or two Psalm chorales, “Leisen” like “Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ,” “Christ ist erstanden,” etc., while after the sermon Luther’s Credo could also be sung as a replacement. In the communion portion of the main church service, the “Our Father” was sung by the congregation, most often in the form of Luther’s “Vater unser im Himmelreich”, which at first was treated in Middle and North Germany as an instructive catechism chorale and only later assumed its position as a chorale associated with the Epistle for the Sunday Rogate, while other chorales sung during communion were the same as those in the Wittenberg region.
