This poem has been set to music but not published. An 11-year-old fit it to the tune “Solicitude” meter 8.8.8.6 with refrain and campaigned for revival at his father's small country store. Many copies of this have been passed out to customers. You can find the tune in several different hymnals, such as “HYMNS OF THE CHURCH” and “THE CHURCH HYMNAL”. Hope this helps.
It worked for me to add “Hymnal 1940” to “My Hymnals” so it should work for you. You will need to be logged in. I searched for the hymnal (HEPC1940) and then clicked the link found under the Index box that says “Add to my hymnals”
Does the hymnal indicate (in the preface or in the back) whether the hymns were translated from English or from German? If not, it looks like the first few hymns were originally in English, so I would add the English title to the original title field (since it is not possible to designate two original languages) and in the note field add "English title: Wonderful Words of Life; German title: Wunderbar Lebenswort"

It doesn't seem possible to add the Hymnal 1940 to "My Hymnals". Can that be changed? My church still uses that hymnal. Thanks.
Thank you!
