Hi, Gabriele,

Subject: LL-L "Anniversary"

> I found a booklet that the previous
> owners had left behind. It is the third edition of a Lutheran hymn book in
> Lower Saxon ("Plattdüütsch Gesangbook"), published on October 31, 1967,
> exactly 450 years following the "official" onset of the Reformation. The
> previous editions were published in 1931 and 1953; the book was primarily
> intended for use in churches in Schleswig-Holstein.

> I am including an example of the latter category here; it was obviously
> specially written to comfort sailors during a storm, and their kinfolk at
> home who worried about them - but of course, it can also be seen in the
> metaphorical sense.

Thank you so much for the hymn! Extraordinary what some people leave behind!

Yrs,
Mark
