History and text

[edit]

Norbert Kissel wrote text and music of "Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele" i 1991.[1] The text"Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele" is based on Psalm 103; the refrain recalls first verse 2, then verse 1, and the four stanzas take ideas from further verses.[2] The melody was composed by Norbert Kissel [de] in 1991. [3][4] He wrote the refrain as a round in two parts. It appeared in several hymnals and songbooks,[3] including regional sections of the Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch, such as EG 92 in the northern region. A 2020 collection for women features six alternate stanzas by Katharina Wegner with the refrain.[5]
