7. Streib (“Erzählte Zeit,” 181), along with Johann Baptist Metz, wishes to characterize
the Christian church as a “Erinnerungs- und Erzählgemeinschaft” (community of memory
and narrative), in which humans are supposed to become “Subjekte der Geschichte” (subjects
of history). Along with Ricoeur, he ascertains that identity is dependent upon narrative.
Without narrative, identity gets lost in time. Ibid., 189.

11. According to Fred Kaan and Brian Wren, hymnwriting has a double function and
task, namely, the collection of past—lived—experiences and the search for formulations
for future—not-yet-lived—experiences. Those formulations survive that correspond to vital
and lived experience. Leaver, Litton, and Young, eds., Duty and Delight, 222.

16. Hereafter abbreviated as EG. The official edition of the Evangelische Gesangbuch for
the Protestant Church in the Rhineland, the Protestant Church of Westphalia, and the
Lippian Church, in conjunction with the Reformed Church (Synod of Reformed Churches
in Bavaria and Northwest Germany), appeared in 1996; it is also used in the Protestant
Church in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The main portion (Hymns 1–535) is identical
in both editions (the provisional one from 1995 and the final one from 1996), whereas
in the regional church portion, about forty hymns from the 1995 edition were deleted, and
at least fifty new hymns were included. A considerable portion of these are psalms, canons,
and liturgical songs containing few indications of time. Wherever songs from the 1995 regional
church portion are found in the 1996 edition under a different number, this number
is specified in parentheses, e.g., EG 630(631). Texts that are found only in the 1995 edition
are signified by the remark “not included in EG1996.”
17. Hereafter abbreviated as GL.
18. Hereafter abbreviated as Sv ps. Its predecessor, Den Svenska Psalmboken from 1937,
