context_page_description: Heinrich Bone was a German educator and hymnwriter. He wrote a reader for German studies which was used for higher education in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria, until it was banned during the Kulturkampf. He published a hymnal, Cantate!, which was used by several Catholic dioceses and became a model for common hymnals. Some of his own hymns, including paraphrases of Latin hymns, are part of recent hymnals, both Catholic and Protestant, such as "Komm, Schöpfer Geist, kehr bei uns ein" as a paraphrase of the 9th-century hymn for Pentecost, Veni Creator Spiritus.
context_section_description: Bone published the hymnal Cantate! (Sing!), a collection of 444 songs, which appeared between 1847 and 1879 in seven editions. It was the first Catholic hymnal used in multiple German-speaking dioceses. A book with melodies for the songs appeared in 1852. Bone published traditional Latin hymns as the basis for singing in church, and also translated medieval and Baroque texts into contemporary language, such as "Komm, Schöpfer Geist, kehr bei uns ein" as a paraphrase of the 9th-century Veni Creator Spiritus, to make the return of traditional hymns to Catholic services possible. He also wrote new hymns. Some of his creations remain in recent hymnals.
  The common German hymnal Gotteslob of 1975 contained several songs from Bone's Cantate!, some with revised wording. Some were included in its second edition of 2013, and some also in the Protestant hymnal EG. In the following list, the GL number refers to the 2013 edition, with the former number in brackets:
  GL 222 (112) "Herr, send herab uns deinen Sohn" for Advent, after Veni, veni, Emmanuel
  GL 258 (158) "Lobpreiset all zu dieser Zeit" for New Year's Day, also EG 550 (West), first two stanzas
  GL 329 (220) "Das ist der Tag, den Gott gemacht" for Easter, stanzas 1,2,5
  GL 351 (245) "Komm, Schöpfer Geist, kehr bei uns ein" for Pentecost, after Veni Creator Spiritus
  GL 142 (462) "Zu dir, o Gott erheben wir", for the beginning of a service
  GL 532 (584) "Christi Mutter stand mit Schmerzen", a paraphrase of the Stabat mater
  GL 522 (587) "Maria aufgenommen ist" for Assumption of Mary
  GL 526 (589) "Alle Tage sing und sage", a paraphrase of "Omni die dic Mariae"
  The Te Deum paraphrase by Ignaz Franz, "Großer Gott wir loben dich", became popular in the version of text and melody in Cantate!
