It is part of German hymnals, including the German Catholic hymnal Gotteslob, which has it as GL 393 in the section "Leben in Gott – Lob, Dank und Anbetung" (Life in God – Praise, thanks and adoration).[1] It is also part of other hymnals and songbooks.[2]

The text consists of three stanzas of four lines each, rhyming AABB.[2]
