Nun bitten wir den Heiligen Geist

 * ... that the first stanza of the hymn Nun bitten wir den Heiligen Geist, asking the Holy Spirit for the right faith most of all, is documented in German in the 13th century, the later three relate to faith, love and hope?

 * Hook: Short enough, but not cited entirely. Fairly interesting.
 * Article: New enough, long enough. Several bits of information need references, including most of two paragraph and a whole paragraph at the bottom. No images. Paraphrasing seems fine (1 [with lyrics showing as bold], 2 (mostly lyrics again), and 3) seem okay.

 * Thanks for looking! The referencing was difficult. Typically bach-cantatas has a page on text and one on tune for a chorale Bach used, - not for this one. I had asked in German about it and received the information I added about the old German. I asked for a ref and got it, but found it too German, but kept it in case someone asked. You asked, so I included it now. The compositions based on the hymn are all in Wikipedia, some standard works by Buxtehude and Bach, the latter actually the reason to write the article. I hesitate to blow up the hymn article by specific refs to these compositions, but will if I have to. I added the Blendinger as less known. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
