Franzmann was inspired to write "Thy Strong Word" after a colleague at the seminary stumbled upon the traditional hymn tune of Ebenezer by Welsh songwriter Thomas John Williams. The colleague asked that Franzmann create a new text for the hymn that related to their work at Concordia.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is offence, let me bring pardon. Where there is discord, let me bring union. Where there is error, let me bring truth. Where there is doubt, let me bring faith. Where there is despair, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Luther wrote the words and composed the hymn tune between 1527 and 1529. [1] It has been translated into English at least seventy times and also into many other languages. [1] [2] The words are mostly original, although the first line paraphrases that of Psalm 46. [3]

The phrase is also used to describe other past or future mighty deeds of God, in the following sources: II Kings 17:36, Jeremiah 21:5 27:5 32:17, Ezekiel 20:33 20:34, II Chronicles 6:32.
Simeon's Song of Praise by Aert de Gelder, c. 1700–1710. The Nunc dimittis [1] (English: / n ʊ ŋ k d ɪ ˈ m ɪ t ɪ s /), also known as the Song of Simeon or the Canticle of Simeon, is a canticle taken from the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke, verses 29 to 32.
S.-G. Pimont argued for the authorship of Ambrose of Milan. [1] The Benedictine editors and Luigi Biraghi disagreed. [2]The hymn is found in a hymnary in Irish script (described by Clemens Blume in his Cursus, etc.) of the eighth or early ninth century; but the classical prosody of its two stanzas (solita in the third line of the original text is the only exception) suggests a much earlier origin.
