Ins Wasser fällt ein Stein

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]
