History
edit"Alle Tage sing und sage" was written in the 17th century as a paraphrase of a Latin Marian hymn, "Omni die dic Mariae".[1] This song is attributed to Bernard of Cluny, but was believed to have been written by Saint Casimir during the Baroque period.[2] The melody of the hymn in German was first printed in a 1613 hymnal from Ingolstadt and has been used unchanged.[1]
The German version was revised by Heinrich Bone in 16 stanzas in 1847. Four of these stanzas (1, 2, 4 and 6) became part of the common Catholic hymnal in German, Gotteslob, as GL 526.[1]
