Notes on the Tune

From Hymn Desk's analyses of the hymns sung to it.

TLH 301, He That Believes and Is Baptized : ES IST DAS HEIL — the same tune as 'Salvation unto Us Has Come,' fittingly.

TLH 377, Salvation unto Us Has Come : ES IST DAS HEIL — vigorous and confident 15th-century melody suited to the didactic text.
