Appeared 1618 as above, with his initials, in 9 st. of 9 1., entitled "a hymn from the 65th Psalm." Thence in Wackernagel v. p. 446; also in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 426. It is really a hymn on Christ as the Fountain of Life here and in Eternity, and with Ps. lxv. 10 as its motto. Translated as:— 0 spring of Life, so deep, so great. A good translation of st. i., ii., v., vi., ix. by A. T. Russell, as No. 166 in his Psalms & Hymns, 1851. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
