The Catholic hymnal "Gotteslob" (GL 170) has only the first three stanzas, and a slight change in the rhythm of one tone. Both hymnals note 1523 as the year of writing. Catherine Winkworth translated the hymn to "All glory be to God on high, who hath our race befriended", which appears in 95 hymnals. The hymn tune of "" is also used for "" for Ascension, and "", a paraphrase of Psalm 23 by Wolfgang Meuslin, printed in 1530.  \new Staff { \clef treble \time 4/4 \partial 4 \key g \major \set Staff.midiInstrument = "church organ" \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t \override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t \new Lyrics \lyricmode { Al4 -- lein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr und Dank für sei -- ne Gna2 -- de4 da4 -- rum, dass nun und nim -- mer -- mehr uns rüh -- ren kann kein Scha2 -- de.4 Ein4 Wohl -- ge -- falln Gott an uns hat, nun ist gross Fried ohn Un -- ter -- lass, all Fehd hat nun ein En2 -- de \new Staff { \clef bass \key g \major \set Staff.midiInstrument = "church organ" » »   As a hymn usually sung every Sunday, it was often the basis for chorale preludes. Among those by Johann Sebastian Bach there are three in "Clavier-Übung III" (BWV 675, BWV 676 and BWV 677), and three others in the "Great Eighteen Chorale Preludes" (BWV 667, BWV 668 and BWV 669). He also set the hymn as a four-part chorale (BWV 260, transcribed below). In his extant cantatas the melody appears in association with "Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein" (BWV 128), a text for the Ascension, or "Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt" (BWV 85, 104 and 112), a paraphrase of Psalm 23. Other composers from the 18th century, or earlier, setting the hymn tune for organ include Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Georg Böhm, Christian Geist, Johann Peter Kellner, Melchior Schildt.
