Fun fact:
This hymn was composed originally in German by Joachim Neander, a 17th century Calvinist pastor. Although living only for 30 years, he composed several popular hymns. He was known for taking already well known folk tune melodies (like the one you’re listening to now) and setting biblical lyrics to them, thus making it easier for the common congregant to sing along.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany there is a place called Neandertal (Neander Valley) named after Joachim Neander. He lived in nearby Düsseldorf and loved the valley for giving him the inspiration for his compositions, so subsequent generations thought it fitting to honor him by giving it his namesake.
Interestingly, this is where the word Neanderthal comes from, for it was in Neander Valley where the first remains of Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals) were discovered. So, by extension, the man who wrote the music you’re listening to right now had a species of hominid named after him some 200 years after his death.
