"Ins Wasser fällt ein Stein" (A stone falls into the water) is a 2001 Christian song with text by Manfred Siebald, with a melody by Kurt Kaiser. The hymn of the genre Neues Geistliches Lied is contained in several hymnals and songbooks.

History[edit]

The text "Ins Wasser fällt ein Stein" is based on an English song, "Pass it on" ("It only takes a spark") with text by Paul Janz and 1969 music by Kurt Kaiser.[1][2] The German version was written by Manfred Siebald.[1] The song has been recommended for baptisms because the song is focused on how small beginnings can become a blessing.[1]

The song has three stanzas. The melody is in common time. Its range is rather wide, and depending on the abilities of a congregation may be better introduced by a soloist.[1] The song is contained in regional sections of the Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch, in hymnals for young people and in several songbooks.[2]
