History
editFriedrich Dörr wrote the text in 1971 in preparation for the first common Catholic hymnal in German, Gotteslob. He set the new offertory hymn to a melody by Guillaume Franc[1] which appeared first in Geneva in 1543 in a precursor of the Genevan Psalter. In 1975, the song was included in the Gotteslob as GL 490.[2] It became GL 186 in the hymnal's 2013 edition among the offertory hymns.[1] The song is part of other songbooks.[3] It has also been used for Erntedankfest, the German Thanksgiving.[2]
