Komm, Gott Schöpfer, Heiliger Geist
Lutheran hymm for Pentecost
"Komm, Gott Schöpfer, Heiliger Geist" ("Come, God Creator, Holy Ghost") is a Lutheran hymn for Pentecost, with words written by Martin Luther based on the Latin "Veni Creator Spiritus". The hymn in seven stanzas was first published in 1524. Its hymn tunes are Zahn No. 294, derived from the chant of the Latin hymn, and Zahn No. 295, a later transformation of that melody.[1] The number in the current Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG) is 126.
Johann Sebastian Bach composed chorale preludes on the hymn as BWV 631 in the Orgelbüchlein and as BWV 667 in the Great Eighteen Chorale Preludes. The hymn has been translated and has appeared with the hymn tune in several hymnals.
