Dieser Tag ist Christus eigen

The text was written by Peter Gerloff [de] in 2004, focused on the Sunday as a day of rest as described in the Genesis narration of the Creation, and as day of memory of the resurrection of Jesus.^[1][2]

The song has three stanzas of four lines each.^[1] It was written to a 1939 melody by Gilbert König. The hymn was included in the German Catholic hymnal Gotteslob in 2013 as GL 103,^[3] in the section Sonntag (Sunday).^[4]
