"Lobpreiset all zu dieser Zeit" (Praise all at this time) is a Christian hymn in German for a new year with text by Heinrich Bone written in 1851.
[1] Bone published five stanzas with a refrain in the 1851 edition of his hymnal Cantate!, in a section Das Fest der Beschneidung.
[2] The first two stanzas of the hymn, with a different third stanza dating to 1969,[3] were included in the first edition of the common German Catholic hymnal Gotteslob in 1975, as GL 158,[4] This version was retained in the second edition as GL 258, in the section Jahresschluss / Neujahr (End of a year / New Year).
[6] The melody is attributed to Martin Luther, who created it in 1529 for "Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein",[6] The melody is also used for "Es ist gewißlich an der Zeit" in 1529,[3] which Johann Sebastian Bach set for four parts as BWV 307.
[9] Walter Hofmann composed a chorale prelude, included in his collection Vorpiele zu Liedern aus dem neuen Gotteslob.
