Hymn writers

Almighty God, the apostle Paul taught us to praise You in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs... We thank You this day for those who have give to Your Church great hymns, especially Your servants Philipp Nicolai, Johann Heermann ans Paul Gerhard. May Your Church never lack hymn writers who through their words and music give Your praise. Fill us with the desire to praise and thank You for Your great goodness; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
