from Letter from Baroness Bunsen to her daughter-in-law Mary Louisa, 1 Jan. 1850, page 130:

Yesterday evening we were a happy quiet party together, awaiting the sound of the midnight clock, succeeded by a melodious peal from churches far and near, under the bright moonlight. Ernest sang ‘Lord, what is man ’— and all sang Nun danket alle Gott.
