The notes of thanksgiving and praise are dominant. The origin of the hymn has not been traced.
MUSIC. FAHRE FORT, attributed erroneously in the Hymnary to Johann E. Schmidt, is of anonymous origin. It appeared in Freylinghausen’s Gesangbuch, Halle, 1704, with the well-known hymn, “Fahre fort, fahre fort,” by Johann E. Schmidt, 1669-1745. The tune derived its name from this hymn.
