While as a novice at a Cistercian monastery in 1993, I was assigned to publish a new hymnal for the monks. I was given a tiny little MacIntosh and Finale 1994. Got it! - - But there was a dearth of appropriate hymns for Vespers. The ones we had were horrid. What to do? Found this jewel in the 1984 Hymnal but used the Danish melody neglecting the F-sharp in measure 4 and 12 and there you have it. The grammar is a bit off, but the Cistercian monks are still singing my little hymn every Thursday night for Vespers. I never told them I wrote the text. I left the Order in 1997.
