Last month, I watched
the Concordia University Wisconsin chapel service from the 19th. The hymn was "I Know My Faith Is Founded," and I noticed a small feature in it. It's sung to the tune "Nun lob, mein' Seel'." About halfway through the tune, there are these musical phrases:
In the first verse, the text here is "Our reason cannot fathom / The truth of God profound." "Profound" is sung to the lowest pitch in this phrase (D, which is also the lowest pitch in the entire tune), so there's a connection with the word's literal meaning.
