The melody of this hymn is used in many hymn books for a Marian song with the title "Wunderschön prächtige". The evangelic songbook "Ein immer fröhlich Herz" (Berlin, 1927) underlaid the text "Starker Herr Zebaoth" under this melody. This inspired me to underlay yet another text, and to transform this zestful menuet into a hymn suitable for the Sanctus.
