About this book

Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs gathers the hymns of Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), the German Lutheran pastor who ranks after Luther himself among the greatest hymn-writers of the German church. Writing through the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, Gerhardt gave the church enduring hymns of trust and comfort, several set memorably by J. S. Bach, including the chorale known in English as O Sacred Head Now Wounded. This collection presents his songs in English translation.
