Nikolaus Decius (also Degius , Deeg , Tech a Curia , and Nickel von Hof ; [1] c. 1485 ? 21 March 1541 [2] (others say 1546 [3] ) was a German monk, hymn-writer, Protestant reformer and composer.

Biography [ edit ]

He was probably born in Hof in Upper Franconia , Bavaria , around 1485. He studied at the University of Leipzig and obtained a master's degree at Wittenburg University in 1523 and became a monk. [4] Although a monk, he was an advocate of the Protestant Reformation and a disciple of Martin Luther . [4] He was Probst of the cloister at Steterburg from 1519 until July 1522 when he was appointed a master in the St. Katherine and Egidien School in Braunschweig . [2] [5] He wrote in 1523 " Allein Gott in der Hoh sei Ehr ", a German paraphrase of the Latin Gloria , adapted by Luther in 1525. [6] Decius's version was first sung on Easter Day at Braunschweig on 5 April 1523. [7] Decius's Low German version first appeared in print in Gesang Buch by Joachim Sluter , printed in 1525. [7]

In 1526, Decius became preacher at the Church of St. Nicholas in Stettin at the same time as Paulus von Rhode was appointed preacher at St. James's in Stettin. [2] In 1535 he became pastor of St. Nicholas and died there in March 1541 after a suspected poisoning. [2] Shortly before his death he wrote the hymn " O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig " (O Lamb of God, innocent) sung on a tune from the 13th century. Decius's version was first published in Anton Cornivus 's Christliche Kirchen-Ordnung in 1542. [4] Johann Sebastian Bach used it as a cantus firmus in the opening chorus of his St Matthew Passion . It was translated into English by Arthur Tozer Russell in the 19th century. [4]
