"Now thank we all our God" is a popular Christian hymn. Catherine Winkworth translated it from the German "Nun danket alle Gott", written c. 1636 by the Lutheran pastor Martin Rinkart. Its hymn tune, Zahn No. 5142, was published by Johann Crüger in the 1647 edition of his Praxis pietatis melica. [1] [2]
When Crüger published "Nun danket all und bringet Ehr" in the 1647 edition of his hymnal Praxis pietatis melica, it was possibly without a melody.
