Lasst Uns Erfreuen

Hymns set to the tune Lasst Uns Erfreuen Herzlich Sehr, by an anonymous composer published in Geistliche Kirchengesang, Cologne (1623) and arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958). Music Copyright © Oxford University Press.

Lasst uns erfreuen herzlich sehr (Let us rejoice most heartily) is a hymn tune that originated from Germany in 1623. It derives its opening line and several other melodic ideas from Genevan Psalter tune to Psalm 68. It found widespread popularity after 1906 when it was published in The English Hymnal. The triumphant melody and repeated “Alleluia” phrases have supported the tune’s widespread usage during the Easter season and other festive occasions, especially with the English texts “Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones” and “All Creatures of Our God and King“.

Meter: 88 44 88 and Alleluias.
