>We sang this in our church yesterday, accompanied by our 125-year-old pipe organ, but it was so slow, I thought I was going die before the song ended. To make matters worse, the organist dropped out (for effect?) on the 3rd verse, and the congregation slowed even more! My husband and I were almost crying from holding in laughter by the time the song did finally end. Seems to me Luther meant it to be a bit more stirring than boring. 🙂
