History


The poem was written by theologian and Protestant minister Eugen Eckert. It is in three stanzas with the refrain "Von allen Seiten umgibst du mich" (literally: You surround me on all sides). It is based on Psalms 139 which is paraphrased in the strophes, while verse 5 is quoted as the refrain.[1]

The text has been set to music by Torsten Hampel. The hymn appears in the regional part of the Catholic hymnal Gotteslob of the Diocese of Limburg as GL 825.[2] It is also part of Junges Gotteslob, the hymnal for young people.[3]
