All my heart this night rejoices
German words by Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) were translated into English by Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878), who brought a large number of German hymns into the English-speaking world. She published four collections of hymns which had originated in Germany.
Johan Georg Eveling (1637-1676) worked closely with Paul Gerhardt; he published 120 of his hymns and wrote the tunes for many of them, including this one.
