This appears to be a German translation of the lyrics entitled ''Something for Thee'' ([http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/s/t/sthydynl.htm CyberHymnal] (incipit "Savior, thy dying love"), written by Sylvanus Phelps. [[Something for Thee]] is the tune name. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 15:43, 6 August 2007 (MDT)
:Hmm, thanks for the information.  I might expect I'll come across many such situations in my notation of that hymnal.  Is the tune ''Something for Thee'', ''Something for Jesus'' or both? [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 20:53, 6 August 2007 (MDT)
::Hmm, I don't know if I agree that it's a translation, so to speak (well, it appears that the person who did the German was aware of the English, but if it's a translation, it appears to be highly ''versified'', so to speak, as many translations come to be).

:::You're right, I meant "[[Something for Jesus]]" rather than "Something for Thee" for the tune name (and occasionally as the title of the song). As to whether it's a translation or not, German is not my strongest suit, but it appears to me to be a loose translation, or paraphrase. But clearly it is in some sense based on Phelps's text, and the tune is clearly and completely Lowry's. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 03:57, 8 August 2007 (MDT)
::::Yes, I think a move with the name of the English article is necessary.  The Cyber Hymnal's down right now, otherwise I'd look and decipher a good name.  What's best to call the English lyrics?  I'd still like to see a literal English translation of the German, but that's me.  [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 11:00, 9 August 2007 (MDT)
