The Lutheran chorale asserting God’s death was softened in some hymnals.

Evidence

‘God himself lies Dead’ was known and discussed as the authoritative expression of Lutheran doctrine: so much discussed that, for example, in the hymnal of Dortmund, the authors preferred to soften it to a less shocking version: ‘the Lord is Dead’. In the faculties of theology scholarly arguments raged about the dogmatic correction of the chorale. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 762 (#expands, via linked claim)
