,hymnary4 ,it seeks to explain1 as far as possible1 the origin of the words and music of every hymn in the ,hymnary4 ,the great lyrics of the church1 contributed by every age since the days of the apostles1 are a precious heritage1 and a source of inspiration and power4 ,this work is intended to foster an understanding of and love for our hymns1 new and old1 and to stimulate the time-honored and blessed practice of congregational singing in the church today4 ,the ,handbook may be found useful as an aid 7#a7 in the private study of hymns or their use in family devotions2 7#b7 in selecting suitable hymns for the many and varied services of public worship2 7#c7 in preparing special music services or hymn sings where such occasions are planned to improve the singing in the church2 7#d7 for study groups in hymnology in churches and schools4 ,the historical development of hymnology may be followed in the brief 8,introduction to ,our ,hymns and ,tunes40 ,the author has endeavored to make the work as comprehensive as possible without overburdening the reader with too many details4 ,many hymns have interesting stories connected with their origin and use while others1 equally valuable1 were just written1 without drama or incident1 the poet scarcely knowing how or why1 except that the ,inner ,voice spoke4 ,the apocryphal tales which have been circulated concerning some hymns have been studiously avoided4 ,the aim has been to include only such material as seems to bear genuine marks of authenticity4 ,the bibliography of 8,principal ,works ,consulted10 found elsewhere in the book1 indicates the main sources4 ,the original versions of translated hymns are not always readily available and for that reason they are reproduced in the ,handbook4 ,translated hymns are usually selections from a much larger number of stanzas and it is often instructive to be able to study the whole structure of the original work4 ,acknowledgements4 ,i wish to acknowledge valuable help received from the following and to express hereby my gratitude to them3 to ,dr4 ,robert ,mc,cutchan1 author of ,our ,hymnody1 who generously responded to my request for information on a dozen or more hymns on which ,i had no data2 to ,dr4 ,henry ,wilder ,foote1 of ,harvard ,university1 author of ,three ,centuries of ,american ,hymnody1 for biographical material on several hymn writers1 and the use of books from his private library2 to ,dr4 ,reginald ,mc,all1 ,executive ,secretary of the ,hymn ,society of ,america for helpful material2 to ,dr4 ,ruth ,messenger1 ,archivist for the ,hymn ,society of ,america1 who furnished nearly all the ,latin originals1 and the ,italian original of ,savonarola's hymn1 and information concerning these hymns2 to ,dr4 ,armin ,heussler1 author of a forth-coming handbook to the ,evangelical hymnal1 for material on several of the chorales2 to ,wm4 ,runyan of the ,hope ,publishing ,company1 and to ,dr4 ,john ,trowbridge of the ,bible ,institute of ,los ,angeles1 for information concerning several of the gospel songs2 to ,dr4 ,cornelius ,krahn who made the rich hymnic treasures of the ,mennonite ,historical ,library at ,bethel ,college available to me2 to the late ,rev4 ,c4 ,e4 ,krehbiel who loaned me material from his private library for this work but did not live to see its completion2 to ,b4 ,bargen for help in preparing the manuscript for publication2 to ,mrs4 ,beatrice ,buller for reading the manuscripts and proofs of the ,german chorales2 to my wife1 ,charity ,steiner ,hostetler1 who read all the manuscripts and proofs and whose constant interest and assistance were indispensable2 and to others1 too numerous to mention1 who in any way facilitated the completion of the work4 ,the book1 written during spare moments of a busy pastorate1 is sent forth with the prayer that1 in spite of errors and imperfections1 it may inspire all who use it to sing with greater devotion the praises of ,him who loved us and redeemed us4

recurring words are abbreviated3 ,hymnary is used for ,mennonite ,hymnary4 c4 7circa7 means approximate date4 ,tr4 is prefixed to the names of all translators4 ,anon4 7anonymous7 means without any name acknowledged1 as that of author or composer4 ,the word 8,number0 has been omitted3 thus ,hymn #bb means ,hymn ,no4 #bb4 ,cf4 means compare4 7,latin3 confer74 ,the original texts of ,german hymns found throughout the ,handbook1 especially in the section of ,chorales1 ,book ,,iv1 are the versions used in one or more of the following works3 ,gesangbuch mit ,noten1 7,berne1 ,ind41 #ahij72

versions1 the explanation of which would require a much greater knowledge of ,german hymnody than the author possesses4 ,an effort has been made to bring the spelling into conformity with the modern ,german practice of omitting the 8h0 where it was formerly used with the 8th02 the use of 8ss0 instead of 8sz02 and printing the initial letter of the pronouns referring to ,deity1 in lower case

,definition of a ,hymn4 ,st4 ,augustine1 #ced-dcj1 gave a definition of a hymn1 which has been widely accepted3 ,a hymn is the praise of ,god by singing4 ,a hymn is a song embodying the praise of ,god4 ,if there is merely praise but not praise of ,god it is not a hymn4 ,if there be praise1 and praise of ,god1 but not sung1 it is not a hymn4 ,for it to be a hymn1 it is needful1 therefore1 for it to have three things--praise1 praise of ,god1 and these sung4 ,a recent definition1 accepted by the ,hymn ,society of ,america1 is that of the late ,carl ,f4 ,price3 ,a ,christian hymn is a lyric poem1 reverently and devotionally conceived1 which is designed to be sung and which expresses the worshiper's attitude toward ,god1 or ,god's purposes1 in human life4 ,l4 ,f4 ,benson1 ,america's foremost hymnologist1 defines a hymn in these simple words3 ,the ,christian hymn 444 is a form of words appropriate to be sung or chanted in public devotions4 ,a hymn is to be sung by a congregation4 ,its message must be simple1 not subtle4 ,it must read well and sing well4 ,in modern usage1 the hymn is not limited to the praise of ,god but includes other moods of worship such as resignation and consecration4 #b4 ,the ,beginnings of ,christian ,song4 ,hymn singing has always been associated with ,christian worship4 ,jesus and the ,twelve sang a hymn1 presumably a portion of the ,hallel 7,ps4 #aae-aah71 after the ,supper was ended4 ,paul and ,silas sang hymns1 8songs of the night10 during the midnight hours of their imprisonment in ,philippi4 ,the great ,apostle recognized the value of

#ai4 ,let the word of ,christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom2 teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs1 singing with grace in your hearts to the ,lord4 ,col4 #c3af4 ,i will sing with the spirit1 and ,i will sing with the understanding also4 ,i ,cor4 #ad3ae4 ,the ,jewish converts who at first composed the church had a rich heritage of song in the ,book of ,psalms4 ,this was their hymnbook1 used in the ,temple worship and in the home and probably also in the synagogue services4 ,the use of the ,psalms1 carried over from the ,jewish service1 forms to this day an important element in ,christian worship4 ,besides the ,psalms1 the early church sang the nativity lyrics that adorn the first two chapters of the ,gospel of ,luke4 ,it also made extensive use of ,hallelujah as a part of the people's praise1 adding1 in the course of time1 the ,gloria ,patri1 the ,sanctus1 the ,te ,deum1 and other canticles4 ,the nativity hymns in ,luke1 five in all1 are

hymnody1 rising steadily in the fourth century until it reached its culmination in the eighth and ninth centuries4 ,since it employed the ,greek and ,syriac languages1 its hymnic treasures remained almost completely hidden and unknown to the ,english speaking churches for many centuries4 ,it is only in recent years1 through the efforts of scholars like ,john ,mason ,neale and ,edward ,caswall that some of the ,eastern hymns have been translated and made available for modern use4 ,eastern hymns are characterized by an objective1 dignified1 contemplation of ,god4 ,except when confessing sin and unworthiness1 they contain nothing of the subjective feelings of the worshipper such as is found in many modern hymns4 ,though there is very little in the ,hymnary from the ,eastern ,church1 our collection is enriched by the inclusion of a small number of hymns from this source4 ,greek ,hymns in the ,hymnary ,clement of ,alexandria1 #agj-bbj1 8,shepherd of tender youth0 7#cih7 ,candle

in the ,western ,church20 and ,gregory the ,great1 #edj-fjd1 the missionary-minded pope1 and reformer of church music4 ,ambrose1 ,bishop of ,milan1 not only composed hymns and music but stimulated others to do the same4 ,under his leadership there developed a large body of church music based upon four scales1 which came to be known as ,ambrosian ,chant4 ,although widely known as a scholar1 theologian1 and preacher1 ,ambrose's most lasting influence was upon the music of the church4 ,none of his hymns are found in our collection4 ,gregory the ,great1 two centuries later1 carried forward the work of ,ambrose4 ,he added four more scales or modes to the ,ambrosian system1 thus giving to the repertory of church music more definiteness and variety4 ,the music that developed during the papacy of ,gregory came to be known as ,gregorian ,chant1 or plainsong1 or plainchant4 ,it is 8plain0 because unadorned1 unharmonized and unmeasured4 ,its rhythm is the free rhythm of speech1 the beats falling irregularly4 ,the ,gregorian ,chant remained the music of the church for a thousand years and forms the basis of all ,roman ,catholic music today4 ,some of these chants were adapted by ,luther for congregational singing1 and set to words in the vernacular of the people4 ,a few of the tunes1 usually in a form scarcely recognizable from the original1 are used today in ,protestant hymnals1 as for instance1 the tune 8,hamburg40 ,some of the music in the ,amish church services is traceable to the ,gregorian ,chant4 ,the singing in the medieval church was liturgical in character and confined to the clergy and trained choirs4 ,this was its weakness4 ,the laity was not expected to sing1 neither were they able to do so4 ,congregational singing1 so important in our worship today1 had for centuries been unknown in the ,roman ,catholic ,church4 ,reform was inevitable and it came in due time4 ,while only remnants of the music survive1 many hymns from the ,western ,church have been translated from the ,latin and a few choice ones have found their way into the ,hymnary4 ,latin ,hymns in the ,hymnary ,prudentius1 #cdh-;c4 #dac1 8,bethlehem1 of noblest cities0 7#hh7 ,gregory

,moravians1 were the first ,protestant group to introduce congregational singing into their worship4 ,they also published the first ,protestant hymnbooks1 one in #aeja and another in #aeje1 containing #hi and #djj hymns1 respectively1 in their native ,bohemian tongue4 ,their efforts to introduce congregational singing were sternly opposed by the ,roman hierarchy4 ,the ,council of ,constance condemned ,hus to be burned at the stake and warned his successor1 ,jacob of ,misi1 to cease the singing of hymns in the churches4 ,it decreed3 ,if laymen are forbidden to preach and interpret the ,scriptures1 much more are they forbidden to sing publicly in the churches4 ,as a result of their persecution1 the ,brethren in #aejh sent out messengers to search for true ,christian people into whose communion they might apply for admission--one to ,russia1 one to ,greece1 one to ,bulgaria1 and one to ,palestine and ,egypt4 ,all returned unsuccessful4 ,no such ,christians had been found4 ,they therefore remained in their own country1 giving themselves assiduously to the translation and printing of the ,bible4 ,in #aebb the ,brethren sent two messengers to ,luther to greet him and ask his advice4 ,luther became interested in them and welcomed their fellowship4 ,he was impressed with the hymnbook the ,brethren had published1 and later used some of the hymns in his own work4 ,two centuries later1 the ,brethren1 known now as the ,moravians1 settled on ,count ,zinzendorf's estates in ,saxony1 spreading rapidly from thence into other countries in ,europe and to the ,united ,states4 ,one of ,england's foremost hymn writers and hymnologists1 ,james ,montgomery1 was an adherent to their faith4 ,bohemian ,brethren and ,moravian ,hymns in the ,hymnary ,michael ,weisse1

singing1 inaugurated by the ,bohemian ,brethren1 was soon to be merged into the greater ,reformation movement4 ,luther's influence on the worship and music of the church was revolutionary4 ,for a thousand years the laymen had had no part in church song4 ,congregational singing was unknown4 ,ambrosian music had at first been introduced for congregational use but it became more and more liturgical1 thrusting the laity into the background4 ,the ,gregorian ,chant which followed was never intended for use except by the priests and trained choirs4 ,the followers of ,hus pioneered in congregational singing2 but it was ,luther and his followers who brought it into full fruition4 ,luther was a born music lover and a musician of adequate training4 ,moreover he possessed a remarkable gift for writing hymns in clear thought to bring the ,word of ,god home to the hearts of the common people4 ,he and his followers put songs on the lips of the ,german people and they sang themselves into the ,reformation4 ,so effective were these songs that his enemies in the ,roman church declared that 8,luther's songs have damned more souls than all his books and speeches40 ,chorales4 ,the word 8chorale0 78choral0 in ,german7 refers to the hymn tunes of ,lutheran ,protestantism1 though in common usage the term includes the words associated with the tunes4 ,the melodies had much to do with the popularity of the songs4 ,they came from various sources4 ,many of them were original compositions by ,luther and others2 some were borrowed from the hymn books of the ,bohemian ,brethren2 a considerable number were adaptations of plainsongs used in the ,catholic ,church2 still others were adopted from beloved folksongs4 ,luther was an eclectic in his choice of music4 ,he used any tune from any source that suited his purpose4 ,many thousands of chorales came into existence in ,germany during his time and the two centuries that followed4 ,the hundreds still in use represent the best in church music today4 ,they are characterized by a plain melody1 a strong harmony1 and a stately rhythm2 all of which adapts them well for effective congregational singing4 ,the chorales at first did not have the regular rhythms that they later took on4 ,the steady progression of even notes1 invariable in ,bach's day1 had come only gradually into use4 ,some of the recent hymnbooks1 in the interest of greater variety of rhythm1 are returning to the original 8rhythmic chorales40 ,though unison singing has been widely practiced and is advocated today by some good authorities in church music1 ,luther encouraged part singing4 ,in his first ,preface to the ,geystliches ,gesangbcklin1 #aebe1 he wrote3 ,these songs have been set in four parts1 for no other reason than because ,i wished to provide our young people 7who both will and ought to be instructed in music and other sciences7 with something whereby they might rid themselves of amorous and carnal songs1 and in their stead learn something wholesome1 and so apply themselves to what is good with pleasure1 as becometh the young4 ,the period of the ,german chorales may be said to have begun with ,luther1 #adhc-aedf1 and ended two centuries later with ,j4 ,s4 ,bach1 #afhe-agej4 ,bach brought the chorale tunes to their highest perfection1 using many of them in his larger choral works4 ,he composed about #cj original chorale melodies1 wrote reharmonizations for approximately #djj1 and composed many chorale preludes for the organ which are in wide use today4 ,the ,german hymns and chorale tunes1 used constantly in the home and school1 as well as in the church1 have been of great importance in our ,mennonite worship in the past4 ,they constitute the main body of material in all our ,german collections of hymns4 ,in an effort to preserve and emphasize this rich heritage1 there was incorporated into the ,hymnary1 a special section1 ,book ,,iii1 made up exclusively of chorales4 ,german ,chorales in the ,hymnary #afth

and the only proper vehicle for the praise of ,god4 ,calvin1 unlike ,luther1 was not a musician1 and at first permitted only unison singing1 unaccompanied4 ,part singing and instrumental accompaniment seemed to savor of the frivolous and worldly1 an opinion which ,calvin1 however1 was soon to modify4 ,for two hundred years the ,calvinistic churches on the ,continent and in ,britain were influenced in their worship song by the strict views of ,calvin1 limiting themselves to the metrical psalms and scriptural paraphrases4 ,the ,german people in the meantime produced a rich treasury of original

scholar4 ,it became the psalm book for the ,reformation churches on the continent1 and is spoken of as the most famous book of praise the ,christian ,church ever produced4 ,it was issued in at least one thousand editions and translated into a number of tongues4 ,some of the original tunes are still in use1 e4g41 8,old ,hundredth40 b4 ,the ,anglo-,genevan ,psalter1 ,geneva1 #aeef4 ,this was used

literalness to the ,hebrew original than was found in the versions then in use4 ,the book reigned supreme among the ,english churches in ,new ,england for over a century4 ,seventy editions of it were printed in ,america1 the last in #aggc4 ,eighteen editions appeared in ,england1 and twenty-two in ,scotland4 ,there were no tunes given it until #afih1 then only #ac1 with the air in the bass4 e4 ,the ,scottish ,psalter1 completed #afej4 ,special mention is made of this version of the ,psalms because it is the source of nearly all the selections of metrical psalms which constitute ,book ,five of the ,hymnary4 ,the number of versions and editions of psalms which appeared on the ,continent and in ,england were numerous and confusing1 each claiming its own special merits4 ,finally1 in the interests of better literary diction and greater unity in singing in the ,scottish ,presbyterian churches1 the ,general ,assembly authorized a new version4 ,the result1 after many years' work1 was the famous ,scottish ,psalter of #afej which remains the standard work in ,scotland today4 ,there is a certain 8dignified crudeness0 in some of the literary expressions but the psalms have long been learned in this version and have become an important part of the religious training and experience of millions of ,english speaking people1 especially in ,scotland4 ,the ,scottish ,psalter first appeared with words only4 ,there were no notes and no suggestions for melodies4 ,the succeeding one hundred years were a time of confusion4 ,the tunes used were few in number1 such as the leaders had learned from various sources1 and passed on to succeeding generations by rote4 ,the time came when better singing and better tunes were demanded and gradually the psalter appeared with tunes4 ,early tune versions put the melody invariably in the tenor4 ,the latest edition1 printed in #aibi1 by the ,oxford ,press1 contains the best ,psalm tunes which had gradually come into use1 many of them arranged with 8,faux-bourdon0 7wherein the congregation sings one or more verses to the melody while the choir supplies the harmony71 and 8,descant0 7a second melody over that of the tune74 f4 ,the ,new ,version1 ,tate and ,brady1 ,london1 #afif4 ,this version gradually supplanted the ,old ,version of ,sternhold and ,hopkins1 and held its place in the worship of the church for #aej years4 ,it was adopted1 in #aghi1 by the ,protestant ,episcopal ,church in the ,united ,states and bound with the prayer book of that ,communion4 ,the above versions are only a few of the large number of psalters that were published by the ,calvinistic churches on the ,continent1 in ,great ,britain1 and in ,america4 ,the metrical psalms were designed for the singing church4 ,they were intended to restore song to the people in their worship1 serving in this respect a similar purpose to the chorales in ,germany4 ,some of the psalm books were published without music1 some with the melody only1 and others in four-part harmony4 ,the statement is frequently made that ,calvinistic ,protestantism approved only unison singing4 ,the appearance of numerous books1 complete with four voice parts1 points to the contrary4 ,it is true that ,calvin at first encouraged unison singing only1 regarding harmony more in the nature of amusement than the worship of ,god2 but upon observing the effectiveness of singing in ,germany1 he soon changed his views and became more liberal in this respect4 #i4 ,english ,hymnody4 ,the youthful1 courageous ,isaac ,watts1 #afgd-agdh1 an ardent dissenter1 pioneered the movement which resulted in a flood of hymns and hymnbooks in the ,english churches4 ,watts was not satisfied with the psalm singing of his time1 which by now had become formal and lifeless4 ,parts of the psalter1 he pointed out1 were obviously not written in the spirit of the ,gospel4 8,by keeping too close to ,david10 he wrote in one of his ,prefaces1 8the vail of ,moses is thrown over our hearts40 ,watts removed that 8vail10 ,christianizing the psalms and composing during his lifetime more than #fjj original hymns1 expressing in the language of the time1 the thoughts of the worshippers4 ,through his influence1 his age1 the #ahth century1 became the first age of hymn singing in ,england4 ,john and ,charles ,wesley1 following ,watts1 made enormous use of hymn singing in their evangelistic work1 giving the movement for congregational singing a powerful impetus4 ,charles is said to have composed over #f1jjj hymns4 ,from the ,wesleys onward through the #aith century1 the hymn writers in ,england became numerous4 ,the restrictive shackles of psalm singing had been broken and the creative urge to worship in new forms resulted in a vast number of original

,america during the #agth century continued the psalm singing traditions of their forebears in ,england4 ,the practice prevailed in their churches for two hundred years4 ,the first book printed by them was the ,bay ,psalm ,book1 in #afdj1 at ,cambridge1 ,massachusetts4 ,it contained no original hymns4 ,the singing of psalms1 and later of hymns borrowed from ,england made up nearly the entire repertory of church music until the middle of the #aith century4 ,on the other hand1 the ,german speaking colonists1 including the ,mennonites1 had brought with them the hymn books of the ,lutheran tradition and continued the use of the ,german chorales in their worship4 ,the two streams of hymnody1 ,english psalms and ,german chorales1 went their independent courses for two centuries1 scarcely influencing each other4 ,in the meantime there was very little original hymnody produced in ,america1 with the exception of the work of the ,wesleys during their brief experiment in ,georgia1 and the composition of certain hymns and tunes by the ,german people of ,pennsylvania1 which have remained1 until recently1 in manuscript form4 ,timothy ,dwight's hymn on the church1 8,i love ,thy ,kingdom1 ,lord0 7#bge7 is probably the earliest ,american hymn still in use4 ,after the middle of the #aith century the number of hymn writers became large and their works came into increasing use1 some choice examples finding their way into ,english hymnbooks4 ,america's original contribution to ,christian hymnody has not been only the ,gospel ,songs represented by the writings of ,fanny ,crosby1 but the more permanent works of ,whittier1 ,george ,w4 ,doane1 ,hosmer1 ,samuel ,longfellow1 ,washington ,gladden1 ,s4 ,f4 ,smith1 and many others4 ,our musical contributions have been less conspicuous1 but the tunes of ,mason are coming into their own again and many of them will doubtless survive for a long time1 as will also those of ,bradbury1 ,hastings1 and others4 ,the tendency today in ,american hymnbooks is to unite the best in ,english and ,german traditions4 ,the ,hymnary illustrates this trend4 ,it makes large use of the ,english hymns while at the same time preserving a considerable body of the ,german chorales4 ,in keeping with this trend1 the recent hymnbooks of the ,episcopal1 ,presbyterian1 ,methodist and other churches of ,english origin1 incorporate some of the ,german chorale tunes and in some cases the translations of the words4 ,the hymn books of our time have become the channels through which flow the rich contributions to the stream of ,christian hymnody from

the #aith century there came into use1 both in the ,united ,states and in ,england1 a type of religious song known as the ,gospel ,song4 ,less dignified than the chorales or the ,english hymns1 these songs made a popular appeal and were widely used in prayer meetings and revivals4 ,the words of the typical ,gospel ,song are usually simple and easily remembered and concern themselves largely with the individual's salvation4 ,the personal pronouns 8,i0 and 8my0 predominate4 ,the tunes are rhythmic and catchy and always have a refrain added4 ,their harmonies are largely built on the simple tonic1 dominant1 and subdominant chords4 ,the masses of the people readily learned to sing these tunes and experienced a thrill in singing them which the use of the more stately and solid hymns failed to effect4 ,the great bulk of these songs were produced in ,america during the latter half of the #aith century and were found extremely useful in large mass meetings4 ,the evangelistic work of ,moody and ,sankey during the #ahgj's1 #ahhj's1 and #ahij's brought the ,gospel ,songs into special prominence and the ,salvation ,army has made them known in nearly every country in the world4 ,collections of ,gospel ,songs sold by the millions of copies and every denomination was affected1 to a greater or lesser extent1 by this type of singing4 ,since the standard of music and words in the ,gospel ,songs is considerably below that which prevails in our best hymnals as well as in secular music and literature taught in the public schools1 churches should seriously consider the ultimate effect of their too frequent use4 ,it is a fallacy to assert that the people will respond to nothing better4 ,gospel ,songs have a legitimate place1 particularly in special services and revivals1 but they leave much to be desired in the total work and worship of the church4 ,neither the music nor the words possess the strength and dignity entirely adequate for the worshipful praise of the ,eternal4 ,the principal names associated with ,gospel ,songs are the following3 ,authors4 ,fanny ,j4 ,crosby1 ,philip ,p4 ,bliss1 ,robert ,lowry1 ,katherine ,hankey1 ,e4 ,a4 ,hoffman1 and many others4 ,most of the words1 though not all1 were written by ,americans during the latter part of the nineteenth century4 ,miss ,crosby was by far the most prolific of them all and many of her works are found in all modern hymnals of denominations that use this type of music4 ,in ,germany1 ,ernst ,gebhardt became the leader of the gospel song movement1 composing words and music1 publishing numerous song books1 and serving as song leader in great revival meetings4 ,music4 ,william ,b4 ,bradbury1 ,robert ,lowry1 ,w4 ,h4 ,doane1 ,philip ,philips1 ,james ,mc,granahan1 ,george ,c4 ,stebbins1 ,p4 ,p4 ,bliss1 ,d4 ,w4

contributions to society through their religious life and practices1 but we have produced no important hymnody of our own4 ,throughout the four hundred years of our existence as a church1 we have been a singing people1 in times of persecution as well as in times of peace4 ,great emphasis has always been laid upon the importance of congregational singing in our worship services4 ,since the beginning of the #aith century the ,mennonites of various branches1 in ,america alone1 have published over fifty hymnbooks4 ,but an examination of these hymnbooks shows that we are heavily indebted to others4 ,instead of producing original hymns and tunes1 we have borrowed1 with minor exceptions1 our entire repertory from other denominations4 ,the wealth of verse and music produced by ,german and ,english writers throughout the centuries has been found to serve our needs adequately and well4 ,the churches in ,europe used hymnbooks compiled from ,lutheran and ,reformed sources4 ,upon coming to the ,united ,states and ,canada1 they gradually adopted ,english and ,american hymns and in some sections of the church1 the ,gospel ,songs came into wide use4 ,our ,german collections of hymns have1 until recently1 been uniformly on a higher level1 both as to music and poetry1 than the collections used after the change was made to the ,english language4 ,during the transition from the ,german to the ,english language1 many churches1 in their choice of their hymnbooks1 sacrificed the fine chorales which had been a part of their religious heritage4 ,this was due partly to the revivalistic influences of the times and partly to the fact that there were no good translations available of the ,german hymns which earlier were in use4 ,the situation is gradually correcting itself4 ,we are re-evaluating our hymnody1 sifting the wheat from the chaff1 and bringing back into our worship the rich treasure of song which had been used in the past4 ,the ,mennonite ,hymnary is an effort in this direction4 #ad4 ,the ,antecedents of the ,mennonite ,hymnary4 ,the story of the hymn books antedating the ,hymnary may be briefly summarized by listing the following books3 #aefe4 ,the first ,german ,mennonite hymn book was published in #aefe or #aeff 7date omitted from title71 entitled1 ,ein schn ,gesangbchlein ,geistlicher ,lieder1 zusammengetragen aus dem ,a4 und ,n4 ,testament durch fromme ,christen und ,liebhaber ,gottes1 welcher hiefr etliche getrucht sei gewesen1 aber noch viel dazu gethan1 welche nie im ,truck aussgangen seindt1 in welchen auch ein recht ,leben und ,fundament dez

gebessert und mit etlichen newen ,liedern vermehret4 ,coloss4 #c4 ,of the #acc hymns in the book1 #i had been in use among other churches4 ,many of the others were by ,mennonite authors1 among them ,johann ,schtz1 ,thomas ,ducker1 ,gerhard ,siebenakker von ,sittart1 and ,heinrich ,krenen von ,breidtbock4 ,many of the hymns are of a controversial nature and have no literary value2 for example1 this on infant baptism3 ,die ,schrift sagt nicht von ,kindertaufe ,davon hab ich nicht gelesen4 ,wer nach ,gottes ,wort getauft soll sein ,der musz glubig wesen4 ,es ist ein ,bad der ,wiedergeburt1 ,ein ,bund eines guten ,gewissens ,ein' ,verneurung des heiliges ,geistes ,davon keine ,kinder wissen4 ,most of the hymns were set to secular melodies popular at the time4 ,very little of this first

important place in ,mennonite hymnody4 ,it was reprinted in ,danzig1 #ahgc1 for use by the ,danzig ,mennonites1 and in ,philadelphia1 #ahgc1 for use in the ,general ,conference of ,mennonites4 ,the

,board of ,publication1 ,mennonite ,publication ,office1 ,newton1 ,kansas1 #aidj4 ,now in its sixth edition4 #ae4 ,the ,translation of ,hymns4 ,a word may be in order concerning the translation of hymns4 ,it is difficult to transfer the color and feeling of one language to another4 ,for this reason many people who know the ,german hymns by heart have a sense of disappointment when they read them in an ,english version4 ,in some instances a translation is inferior to the original but this is not necessarily the case4 ,it is well to remember that nearly all of us read the ,bible only in a translation1 yet never doubt the literary quality of the ,english ,king ,james ,version or the ,german ,version of ,luther4 ,the hymn1 8,ich weiss einen ,strom10 is superior as poetry1 and in its religious feeling1 to the ,english original1 8,o have you not heard of that beautiful stream10 though the former is a translation of the latter4 ,the reason is that ,gebhardt1 the translator1 was a poet in his own right4 ,good translations are possible if the translator has poetic ability of a high order1 and if he translates into his native tongue4 ,catherine ,winkworth was the foremost translator of ,german hymns into ,english and ,ernst ,gebhardt performed a similar role in translating ,english and ,american hymns into ,german4 ,had either tried to do the work of the other1 the results would in all probability have lacked true color and correct idiomatic and poetic expression4 #af4 ,church ,unity in the ,hymnbook4 ,the unity of the ,christian ,church is expressed nowhere more eloquently than in the hymns we sing4 ,every modern hymnal1 regardless of the denominational interest it represents1 reaches across the ages to gather its treasures from sources new and old2 it knows nothing of the external barriers which divide ,christians into denominations1 but makes use of the hymns of widely divergent ,christian groups4 ,the ,mennonite ,hymnary is no exception4 ,here are found hymns from the early church1 ,east and ,west1 translated from the ,greek and ,latin fathers4 ,others1 like ,savonarola's hymn1 come from the ,middle ,ages4 ,many are chorales from the land of ,luther1 or metrical psalms from the ,calvinistic reformers4 ,a substantial body of our hymnody stems from the ,anglican ,church1 while some of our best hymns are from sturdy independents like ,watts and ,doddridge1 and still others breathe the evangelistic fervor of ,wesley1 ,cowper1 and ,newton4 ,the ,quakers too have made their contribution as well as certain ,roman ,catholics and ,unitarians4 ,in no aspect of our church life do we attain so nearly to ecumenicity as in our worship in song4 ,christians may differ widely in their religious views but they are able to unite as one body in singing their songs of praise4 ,the following classification of hymns by denominations is far from exhaustive4 ,it is intended merely to suggest the wealth of material drawn from many denominations1 listing only representative writers together with a representative hymn4 ,the index of authors may be consulted for a complete list of hymns written by each author4 a4 ,anglican

7,english1 ,metre7 refers to the rhythmic element in poetry3 a4 the number of lines in a stanza4 b4 the number of syllables in a line4 c4 the arrangement of accented and unaccented syllables4 ,the figures attached to the tune names in the ,hymnary indicate the number of lines in a stanza and the number of syllables in a line1 e4 g41 #h4g4h4g4 means that the hymn has four lines in each stanza1 the first line being made up of #h syllables1 the second of #g syllables1 the third of #h syllables1 and the last of #g syllables4 ,the figures are placed there to facilitate the fitting of tunes to hymns1 a responsibility which is left now-a-days largely to hymnbook editors4 ,a given tune may be used with any variety of hymns provided the latter have the same meter as the tune4 ,likewise a given hymn may be sung to any tune that fits its meter1 e4g41 8,come1 ,thou ,almighty ,king10 set to the tune1 8,italian ,hymn10 as both have the meter pattern #f4f4d4f4f4f4d4 ,this is also the meter of 8,my country 'tis of thee0 set to 8,america40 ,hence the words and tunes of these hymns may be interchanged4 ,as a matter of fact1 8,come ,thou ,almighty ,king0 was originally used with the tune 8,america40 ,the practice of using alternate tunes is less common now than formerly and must be done with care for while the meters may be suited1 the words and tune may be incompatible otherwise4

it create a worshipful atmosphere8 ,does the mood of the tune fit the mood and thought of the words8 b4 ,the importance of tunes4 ,the tune is of great importance to the success of the hymn4 ,our 8best hymns0 owe their popularity in many instances1 to the tune with which they are associated4 ,on the other hand many excellent hymns remain unused because the tunes given them are too difficult or too uninteresting4 ,it is the tune that creates the mood of worship and charges the words with emotion so that their message is carried forth with feeling and power4 c4 ,composers of tunes4 ,the story of the development of the hymn tune begins with the worship song in the ,temple at ,jerusalem where the psalms were sung antiphonally by priests and people accompanied by harps and trumpets4 ,little is known of these tunes or their composers4 ,this early ,christian music would doubtless sound strange to modern ears4 ,the important names in the roll of church musicians1 from the early centuries to the present time1 include the following3 ,italian--,ambrose1 #dth century ,gregory the ,great1 #fth century ,palestrina1 #aebe-id ,french--,louis ,bourgeois1 c4 #aeaj-8 ,german--,luther1 #adhc-aedf2

a partial list of composers of good church music4 ,among their works is a corpus of fine hymn tunes far greater than has been utilized by the church so far4 ,for years to come1 compilers of hymn books will have a vast reservoir of excellent tunes1 old yet new1 to draw from4 d4 ,sources of tunes4 ,an examination of the origin of church tunes shows a variety of sources4 ,many tunes were especially written for the words to which they are set2 others are adaptations from early medieval chants2 still others1 as for example1 the 8,passion ,chorale0 and 8,londonderry ,air01 were folk tunes originally used with secular words4 ,some of our best tunes are adaptations of melodies from larger musical works1 as for example1 8,hymn to ,joy0 7#aj7 from ,beethoven's ,ninth ,symphony2

8,jerusalem1 ,jerusalem0 7#abe74 ,in a few cases the same name is given to several tunes1 e4g41 8,wesley0 7#cji and #ccb74 ,this is confusing and it is highly desirable that hymnbook editors strive toward uniformity of nomenclature4 #ai4 ,john ,wesley's ,rules for ,singing4 ,in one of ,john ,wesley's compilations of tunes1 ,sacred ,melody1 the great preacher and founder of ,methodism gives the following rules for singing4 ,some of the expressions used may provoke a smile but1 as ,lightwood suggests1 8it would be a very good thing if these were read aloud from time to time in all churches and chapels where good congregational singing is aimed at40 a4 ,learn these tunes before you learn any others2 afterwards learn as many as you please4 b4 ,sing them exactly as they are printed here1 without altering or mending them at all2 and if you have learned to sing them otherwise1 unlearn it as soon as you can4 c4 ,sing ,,all4 ,see that you join with the congregation as frequently as you can4 ,let not a slight degree of weakness or weariness hinder you4 ,if it is a cross to you1 take it up1 and you will find it a blessing4 d4 ,sing lustily and with a good courage4 ,beware of singing as if you were half dead1 or half asleep2 but lift up your voice with strength4 ,be no more afraid of your voice now1 nor more ashamed of its being heard1 than when you sang the songs of ,satan4 e4 ,sing modestly4 ,do not bawl1 so as to be heard above or distinct from the rest of the congregation1 that you may not destroy the harmony2 but strive to unite your voices together1 so as to make one clear melodious sound4 f4 ,sing in tune4 ,whatever time is sung be sure to keep with it4 ,do not run before nor stay behind it2 but attend close to the leading voices1 and move therewith exactly as you can2 and take care not to sing too low4 ,this drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy3 and it is high time to drive it out from among us1 and sing all our tunes just as quick as we did at first4 g4 ,above all sing spiritually4 ,have an eye to ,god in every word you sing4 ,aim at pleasing ,him more than yourself1 or any other creature4 ,in order to do this attend strictly to the sense of what you sing1 and see that your heart is not carried away with the sound1 but offered to ,god continually2 so shall our singing be such as the ,lord will approve of here1 and regard you when

and it was sung at his funeral service in ,westminster ,abbey1 ,april #ab1 #ahib4 ,,music4 ,the tune1 ,,nicaea1 was composed for this hymn and was so named because the text deals with the doctrine of the ,trinity as expounded in the ,council of ,nicaea which met in the city of ,nicaea in ,asia ,minor1 #cbe ,a4,d41 the first ecumenical council of the ,christian ,church4 ,it convened at the call of the ,emperor1 ,constantine1 to settle the so-called 8,arian controversy0 concerning the nature of ,christ4 ,arius1 a presbyter of ,alexandria1 taught that ,christ was neither divine nor human1 but superangelic4 ,after sitting from ,may #bj to ,august #be1 to hear all sides of the heated debate1 the council decided in favor of ,athanasius1 a deacon of ,alexandria and chief opponent of ,arius4

authorship is anonymous1 is a call to silence and reverence as the worshipper bows in the presence of ,god4 ,,music4 ,the origin of the popular and useful tune1 ,,autumn1 has been in dispute4 ,some books refer to it as a ,spanish melody1 and others have seen in the tune a reminiscence of a psalm-tune found in the ,genevan ,psalter of #aeea4 ,it is ascribed here to one1 ,louis von ,esch1 but ,dr4

ferocious tribesmen1 pointing their spears at him4 ,expecting death1 he closed his eyes and sang this hymn1 8,all hail the power of ,jesus' name10 playing the tune 8,miles ,lane0 on his violin4 ,the

,most of his life was spent as music teacher and organist in various ,english churches4 ,the tune is very effective1 especially in its thrilling climax in the fourfold repetition of 8,crown ,him40

who used physical violence4 ,hoodlums were known to try to break up their meetings by blowing horns1 ringing bells1 or barking in front of the preacher4 ,sometimes cattle were driven into the congregation4 ,the ,wesleys were also opposed by the clergy and people of the established church who hated the upheavals and disturbances these men caused in the staid and stolid church life of the times4 ,nothing could stop the ,wesleys or repress their enthusiasm4 ,john1 who once thanked ,god for getting together such a 8congregation of drunkards1 swearers1 and ,sabbath breakers10 continued

8,i gave form to what ,i felt by writing1 with little effort1 the stanzas4 ,i recollect ,i wrote them with very tender emotion1 and ended the last lines with tears40 ,the manuscript was then placed in a pocket-book1 where it remained for some time4 ,its true discoverer was ,lowell ,mason1 the musician1 who asked young ,palmer if he had not some hymn or hymns to contribute to his new book4 ,the pocket-book was produced and the little hymn1 then between two and three years old1 and never previously utilized1 though it had been in print as a poem1 was brought to light4 ,dr4 ,mason was attracted by it1 and desired a copy4 ,they stepped together into a store 7it was in ,boston71 and the copy was made and taken away without further comment4 ,on carefully reading the hymn at home1 ,dr4 ,mason was so interested that he wrote for it the tune 8,olivet10 to which it is usually sung4 ,two or three days later1 he again met the author in the street1 and scarcely waiting to salute him1 he said1 8,mr4 ,palmer1 you may live many years1 and do many good things1 but ,i think you will be best known to posterity as the author of #8,my ,faith looks up to ,thee4'0 ,the hymn appeared first in

this evening1 that you were the man whose life ,i was spared from taking40 ,the singer grasped the hand of the ,southerner and said3 8,i remember the night very well1 and the feeling of depression

pressed upon them the privilege and responsibility of getting a share in the out-poured blessing4 ,on the ,sunday following1 not being well enough to get out1 ,i had a time of quiet communion4 ,those

took it quite out of my own hands4 ,it was read from pulpits1 circulated by tens of thousands1 and blessed in a remarkable degree4 ,every now and then some sweet token was sent to cheer me in a

8perfect peace40 ,this sermon set my father's mind working on the subject4 ,he always found it easiest to express in verse whatever subject was uppermost in his mind1 so that when on the afternoon of

desired to convey4 ,taking up a sheet of paper1 he then and there wrote down the hymn just exactly as it now stands and read it to this dying ,christian4 ,it is not always noticed that the first line in each verse is in the form of a question referring to some one or other of the disturbing experiences of life1 and the second line in each verse endeavors to give the answer4444 ,the hymn has been

#aghc-ahbf ,one of the most famous missionary hymns ever written4 ,an interesting story is attached to its origin1 a detailed account of which was written by ,thomas ,edgeworth on the fly-leaf of a facsimile of the original manuscript as follows3 ,on ,whitsunday1 #ahai1 the late ,dr4 ,shipley1 ,dean of ,st4 ,asaph1 and ,vicar of ,wrexham1 preached a sermon in ,wrexham ,church in aid of the ,society for the ,propagation of the ,gospel in ,foreign ,parts4 ,that day was also fixed upon for the commencement of the ,sunday evening lectures intended to be established in the church1 and the late ,bishop of ,calcutta 7,heber71 then rector of ,hodnet1 the ,dean's son-in-law being together in the vicarage1 the former requested ,heber to write 8something for them to sing in the morning02 and he retired for that purpose from the table where the ,dean and a few friends were sitting to a distant part of the room4 ,in a short time the ,dean enquired1 8,what have you written80 ,heber having then composed the three first verses1 read them over4 8,there1 there1 that will do very well10 said the ,dean4 8,no1 no1 the sense is not complete10 replied ,heber4 ,accordingly he added the fourth verse1 and the ,dean being inexorable to his repeated request of 8,let me add another2 oh1 let me add another60 thus completed the hymn of which the annexed is a facsimile and which has since become so celebrated4 ,it was sung the next morning in ,wrexham ,church the first time4 ,the tune to which it was sung was 8',twas when the seas were roaring10 from ,the ,beggar's ,opera--a fine but somewhat incongruous selection4 ,the words of the hymn reflect the enthusiasm and zeal of consecrated youth1 eager1 like ,livingstone1 to go out to a distant people needing help and to sacrifice life for the cause4 ,greatly interested in missions1 ,heber was offered the ,bishopric of ,calcutta and accepted it against the advice of his friends4 ,after three years of strenuous1 devoted labor1 he was stricken with apoplexy and found dead in his bath on the evening of a busy day in which he had baptized forty-two native converts4 ,the much-discussed second stanza1 omitted in the ,hymnary because of its seeming low estimate of man1 is as follows3 ,what though the spicy breezes ,blow soft o'er ,ceylon's isle2 ,though every prospect pleases ,and only man is vile2 ,in vain with lavish kindness ,the gifts of ,god are strown2 ,the heathen in his blindness ,bows down to wood and stone4 ,the hymn is widely used among ,german speaking people in the following translation made by ,dr4 ,ch4 ,g4 ,barth1

jotted it down and went on with my work4 ,that was the origin of the music of 8,the ,shining ,shore40 ,later1 when ,i took up the melody to harmonize it1 it seemed so very simple and commonplace1 that ,i hesitated about setting the other parts to it4 ,i finally decided that it might be useful to somebody1 and ,i completed it1 though it was not printed until some months afterward4 ,in after years ,i examined it in an endeavor to account for its great popularity--but in vain4 ,to the musician there is not one reason in melody or harmony scientifically regarded1 for such a fact4 ,to him hundreds of

own1 and1 after his death1 most of his disciples reunited with the ,reformed ,church4 ,like all great leaders1 he pled the cause of the underprivileged4 ,he was a mystic of the purest type1 yet his

#adih1 he was publicly executed on one of the streets of ,florence4 ,his death as a martyr proved to ,luther1 across the ,alps1 that it is 8hopeless to hope in the purification of ,rome10 and gave to

,salve caput cruentatum is the last of a series of seven poems on the crucified ,savior1 each poem addressing itself to a separate member of ,christ's body--feet1 knees1 hands1 side1 breast1 heart1 and head4 ,the work is attributed to ,bernard of ,clairvaux1 preacher of the ,second ,crusade1 and one of the most brilliant of ,latin hymn writers4 ,luther wrote of him3 8,if there has ever been a pious monk who feared ,god it was ,st4 ,bernard1 whom alone ,i hold in much higher esteem than all other monks and priests throughout the globe40 ,bernard founded a monastery in ,wormwood1 a robber-infested valley in ,france4 ,he changed the name to 8,clara ,vallis10 7,beautiful ,valley71 from which is derived the designation 8,clairvaux40 ,though composed in the twelfth century1 the hymn did not achieve fame until five centuries later when it was translated into ,german by ,paul ,gerhardt1 who1 next to ,luther1 was the greatest of all ,german hymn writers4 ,his translation1 a free paraphrase1 appeared in ,crger's ,praxis1 #afef1 and is considered by ,philip ,schaff to be 8fully equal to the original40 ,for comment on ,gerhardt see ,hymn #acd4 ,the translation into ,english was made in #ahdi by ,james ,w4 ,alexander of ,princeton1 a ,presbyterian4 ,schaff wrote that 8,dr4 ,alexander is beyond doubt one of the best translators of ,german hymns into idiomatic ,english40 ,he also wrote concerning this hymn that it has 8shown an imperishable vitality in passing from the ,latin into the ,german and from the ,german into the ,english1 and proclaiming in three tongues and in the name of three confessions--the ,catholic1 the ,lutheran1 and the ,reformed--with equal effect1 the dying love of our ,savior1 and our boundless indebtedness to ,him40 ,our hymn is a selection of stanzas #a1 #d1 #h1 and #aj4 ,in the first stanza1 the line1 8,i marvel at the story10 is substituted for ,alexander's original which read1 8,yet though despised and gory40 ,stanza #aj has been frequently used as a prayer for the dying4 ,,music4 ,,passion ,,chorale was originally set to a love song entitled1 8,mein ,g'mt ist mir verwirret40 ,the tune was composed by the distinguished organist1 ,hans ,leo ,hassler1 and first appeared in his ,lustgarten ,neuer ,teutscher ,gesng1 #afja4 ,in #afac it appeared in ,harmoni ,sacr1 set to the hymn1 8,herzlich thut mich verlangen10 and later it became associated with 8,o ,haupt voll ,blut und ,wunden40 ,it was a favorite melody with ,bach1 who used it five times in his ,st4 ,matthew ,passion4 ,hans ,leo ,hassler1 #aefd-afab1 was born at ,nrnberg and died at ,frankfurt at the age of #dg4 ,he was a member of a distinguished musical family4 ,after an early career as organist1 he was sent to ,venice to study under ,andrea ,gabriele1 organist of ,st4 ,mark's1 becoming the earliest of important ,german composers to receive an ,italian training4 ,returning to ,germany1 ,hassler held positions in ,augsburg1 ,nrnberg1 and elsewhere4 ,his numerous compositions for voice and organ are of such a standard as to give him a high place in ,german music1 and most of them have been reprinted in modern times4 ,j4 ,s4 ,bach1 #afhe-agej1 who arranged the tune1 is by far the greatest musician the ,protestant ,church has produced4 ,most of his life was spent in ,leipzig where he labored from #agbc until his death in #agej1 as cantor of the ,thomas ,school and director of music at the ,thomas and ,nicolai churches4 ,his genius as a master of the organ and composer of chorales and passion music has never been equaled4 ,though he lived in an age when opera flourished in ,europe1 he paid no attention to it1 devoting all his talent to church music4 ,there is something in his music that touches the deepest chords of

world4 ,it is an ancient song which has been in use in the church since #gja ,a4,d4 and originally was chanted antiphonally by clergy and laity4 ,since the #abth century the custom has been to repeat the chant three times4 ,in some churches it is always sung just before the communion of the ,lord's ,supper4 ,for comments on ,decius see ,hymn #eba4 ,the translation is composite4 ,,music4 ,o ,,lamm

stems from ,gregory the ,great1 who was ,pope from #eij to #fjd ,a4,d4 ,he was distinguished for his public service and his contribution to church music1 developing the use of the plain chant 7also

transcended all national boundaries and denominational lines1 and has become a truly ecumenical church song4 ,it has been translated into nearly two hundred languages4 8,ein feste ,burg0 was sung over ,luther's grave at ,wittenberg in the ,schloss-,kirche1 on the door of which some #cj years before1 he had nailed his #ie theses against ,roman ,indulgences4 ,the hymn has been used at many historic occasions and conventions4 ,in #aibe1 at the meeting of ,christians from all parts of the world in ,stockholm1 the opening hymn was 8,ein' feste ,burg ist unser ,gott40 ,each delegate sang in his own tongue1 but it was the same tune1 the same hymn and the same spirit2 and the great conference1 assembled to consider the life and mission of the church1 adopted the hymn as an ecumenical symbol4 ,it was adopted as the ,conference hymn for the fourth ,mennonite ,world ,conference held at ,goshen1 ,ind41 and ,north ,newton1 ,kan41 ,august #c-aj1 #aidh4 ,the hymn arose out of the writer's conflict with the evil forces of the world and the corrupt hierarchy of a corrupt church4 ,when ,luther was summoned to the ,diet of ,worms1 he was warned by his friends not to go4 ,he ignored their advice1 and1 standing before that assemblage of emperors and principalities and powers1 he spoke these memorable words3 ,it is neither safe nor prudent to do aught against conscience4 ,till such time as either by proof from holy ,scripture or by fair reason or argument ,i have been confuted and convicted1 ,i cannot and will not recant4 ,here ,i stand4 ,i cannot do otherwise4 ,god be my help4 ,amen4 ,it is against this background of opposition and trouble that the great hymn was penned4 ,there are more than sixty versions of the hymn in the ,english language4 ,the translation used here is by ,frederick ,h4 ,hedge1 then ,professor of ,ecclesiastical ,history1 and later of ,german ,literature1 at ,harvard4 ,it is the commonly accepted version in ,america4 ,in ,england1 the translation by ,thomas ,carlysle is the most widely used4 ,for ordinary occasions the use of the first two stanzas is sufficient4 ,,music4 ,,ein' ,,feste ,,burg ,,ist ,,unser ,,gott1 also by ,luther1 is one of the great chorales destined to be sung to the end of time4 ,it is perfectly adapted to the words and especially effective with large congregations4 ,the musical merits of the tune have been recognized by the great masters4 ,mendelssohn used the tune in the last movement of his ,reformation ,symphony and ,bach used it in several of his cantatas4 ,albert ,schweitzer writes of this melody3 8,ein feste ,burg0 is woven out of ,gregorian reminiscences4 ,the recognition of this fact deprives the melody of none of its beauty and ,luther of none of the credit for it4 ,it really takes considerable talent to create an organic unity out of fragments4 #eej4 ,the work is ,thine1 ,o ,christ our ,lord ,stanzas #a and #b1 ,s4 ,preiswerk1 #agii-ahga ,stanza #c1 ,f4 ,zaremba1 #agid-ahgd ,tr4 ,julius ,henry

help every one in ,his own time4 ,cast thy burden on the ,lord and ,he shall sustain thee4 ,psalm #ee3bb4 ,the hymn arose out of the author's personal need and suffering4 ,on his way to ,knigsberg1 to attend the ,university at that place1 ,neumark was robbed of his money and stripped of all his possessions except his prayer book and a small amount of cash which1 he had sewn into his clothing4 ,he was therefore destitute and in despair1 with no prospect of going to school or making a living4 ,after many privations1 he at last received an appointment as private tutor in the family of a judge at ,kiel1 8which good fortune1 coming suddenly and as if fallen from heaven10 he wrote1 8greatly rejoiced me1 and on that very day ,i composed to the honour of my beloved ,lord the hymn1 well known here and there1 #8,wer nur den lieben ,gott lsst walten1' and had certainly cause enough to thank the ,divine compassion for such unlooked-for grace shown to me40 ,neumark was now able to enter the ,university and became a student of law and poetry4 ,after years of hardship1 he finally had the good fortune of being appointed court poet1 librarian1 and registrar to ,duke ,wilhelm ,,ii of ,saxe-,weimar1 and custodian of the ducal archives4 ,shortly before his death in #afha he became blind4 ,the hymns he wrote during his prosperous years were markedly inferior to those written during

to the author of the words4 ,neumark wrote an extraordinarily fine tune1 in the minor mode1 for these words1 used in many collections1 including the ,canadian ,mennonite ,gesangbuch1 #aidb4 ,the

earth that has not1 here and there1 in ,german lands1 been met with ,albert's hymn4 ,hardly another morning hymn can be compared with it1 as far as popularity and intrinsic value are concerned1 if simplicity and devotion1 purity of doctrine and adaptation to all the circumstances of life are to decide4 ,the author1 ,heinrich ,albert1 was the son of a tax collector at ,lobenstein1 ,voigtland4 ,he began the study of music under his uncle1 ,heinrich ,schtz1 ,court ,kapellmeister at ,dresden1 but abandoned it1 at the desire of his parents1 to become a lawyer4 ,the profession of law had1 however1 little interest for him and he returned to his first love1 accepting1 in #afca1 the position of organist of the ,cathedral of ,knigsberg4 ,albert wrote several hundred secular and sacred poems and composed in all #gh sacred melodies4 ,most of the former were published in his ,etliche ,arien4 ,the hymn has been rendered into ,english by five or six eminent translators4 ,johann

#agba4 ,nicolaus ,ludwig1 ,graf von ,zinzendorf1 was born at ,dresden of a noble1 wealthy and religious family4 ,early in life he came under the teaching of influential ,pietists1 having ,philipp ,spener for his godfather and ,augustus ,francke for his tutor4 ,from his earliest years he had strong religious impressions4 ,as a child his favorite play was 8preaching20 as a boy in school he organized the 8,order of the ,mustard ,seed10 the members of which bound themselves in a special manner to the service of ,christ1 and above all to promote the conversion of the heathen4 ,upon the insistence of non-pietistic relatives1 he attended the ,university of ,wittenberg to study law and to acquire such accomplishments as dancing1 fencing1 and shooting1 but he himself would have preferred the study of theology4 ,at the age of #ba1 ,zinzendorf bought an estate in ,saxony with the view of gathering a number of truly religious persons into a community1 which should be a source of new religious life4 ,he invited a group of ,moravian exiles1 a religious body which sprang from the work of ,john ,hus1 to settle on the estate4 ,thus was formed1 in #agbb1 the ,moravian settlement which took the name ,herrnhut1 8,shelter of the ,lord40 ,the colony grew rapidly and attracted to its numbers not only immigrants from ,moravia but many others4 ,in #agbg ,zinzendorf gave up his post as an official at the ,court of the ,king of ,saxony1 to join the ,moravian colony and superintend the growing community4 ,accusing him of spreading false doctrines1 his opponents secured an edict from the king1 banishing ,zinzendorf from ,saxony4 ,during this exile1 which lasted #aj years1 he was engaged in unceasing missionary efforts1 from ,st4 ,petersburg to the ,west ,indies4 ,in #agda1 ,zinzendorf came to ,america to visit the ,moravians in ,pennsylvania to organize them into congregations and encourage them to do missionary work among both whites and ,indians4 ,under his leadership1 the ,moravians became a famous missionary group4 ,as early as #agca1 two of the ,brethren were sent to the ,west ,indies and two to ,greenland4 ,and in ,zinzendorf's lifetime ,moravians were at work in ,europe1 ,asia1 ,africa1 ,north and ,south ,america4 ,in a few years1 the little colony at ,herrnhut had sent out more missionaries than had gone from all ,european ,protestantism during two centuries4 ,they went to the hardest and most dangerous places and the most unpromising peoples4 ,everywhere they were strengthened by the joyful1 confident faith and loyalty to ,christ expressed in ,zinzendorf's hymn1 8,jesu geh voran40 ,the ,moravians had a powerful influence on hymnology4 ,zinzendorf himself1 all the members of his family1 and most of the early leaders wrote hymns4 ,singing was a prominent part of their worship and they early began publishing hymnbooks4 ,concerning ,zinzendorf's hymns1 ,catherine ,winkworth says in her ,christian ,singers of ,germany3 ,his hymns1 of which he wrote more than two thousand1 are of exceedingly different value2 some are fantastic and irreverent1 some mere rhymed prose1 others again have a real sweetness1 fervour1 and

,,iv of ,saxe-,weimar2 then was appointed kapellmeister in ,weimar1 and later at ,arnstadt1 living meanwhile a life of selfish indulgence in the atmosphere of the courts4 ,upon reading the works of ,spener and ,luther's ,introduction to the ,epistle to the ,romans1 ,drese experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to aggressive missionary efforts and the organization of prayer meetings in the community4 ,he wrote hymns and tunes which were sung at the meetings of pious persons in his house1 before they came into print4 ,the tune was first published in the ,hallesches ,gesangbuch1

which is the source of nearly all the metrical psalms in ,book ,five of the ,hymnary1 may be briefly summarized as follows3 ,the church in ,scotland1 at the time of the ,reformation1 modeled its service after ,calvin's in ,geneva4 ,no hymns were permitted to be sung2 only the ,words of inspired ,scripture were allowed for use in worship4 ,for two hundred years after ,luther had inspired a rich treasury of 8man-made0 poems for use in congregational singing1 the ,calvinistic churches were still using only psalms and paraphrases of ,scripture4 ,in compiling a ,psalter1 the ,scottish reformers adopted the entire ,anglo-,genevan ,psalter used by ,john ,knox1 to which they added selections from the ,english ,old ,version by ,sternhold and ,hopkins1 and #ba more by ,scottish writers4 ,tunes1 over #ajj in all1 were adopted from the ,anglo-,genevan1 ,french1 and ,english ,psalters1 in each case the melody only being printed4 ,in #afce an edition was published with the tunes in harmony1 the work of ,edmund ,millar4 ,in #afdc1 the ,house of ,commons and the ,westminster ,assembly1 interested in establishing uniformity of worship between the churches of ,england and ,scotland1 voted to adopt ,francis ,rous' version of the psalms for use throughout the kingdom1 after extensive revisions of the work4 ,the ,scottish church1 not satisfied with the ,rous' version1 appointed a commission of four men to revise it still farther1 largely to satisfy the ,puritan demand for more literalness to the ,hebrew original4 ,the result of this revision was the classic ,scottish ,psalter of #afej1 still in use in ,scottish ,presbyterianism and in ,american ,covenanter ,churches4 ,the renderings are quaint and rude in spots but their faithfulness and vigor cannot be denied4 ,it is in this form that millions of people have learned to love the psalms and all attempts to improve or modernize them have so far failed4 ,unfortunately1 no tunes were provided with the ,scottish ,psalter of #afej4 ,this limited the singing to such tunes as precentor and people knew by heart1 resulting in a long period of decline in church music in the ,church of ,scotland4 ,later editions corrected this defect4 ,in #aibi1 the ,general ,assemblies of the ,church of ,scotland and the ,united ,free ,church of ,scotland1 then entered into union1 published a new edition of the ,scottish ,psalter1

stanza from a hymn which fits the purpose may be selected for use as the dedication and be printed on the order of worship in the calendar4 ,a minister may use a prayer in the act of dedication1 but

settings given here are principally for use by the choir after the pastoral prayer or at the close of a service1 in churches where such musical elaboration is practiced4 ,the use of 8,amen0 after a hymn is optional4 ,if sung well1 it serves as a satisfying concluding formula4 ,its use is entirely appropriate only with those hymns which are prayer1 praise1 or otherwise addressed to ,god4 ,the first instance of its use at the end of a hymn is in a curious hymn book entitled1 ,seven ,sobs of a ,sorrowful ,soul for ,sinne1 published in ,england in #aehc4 ,during the last century most editors of hymnals have adopted the custom of adding the 8,amen0 to all hymns4 ,the ,songs of ,praise1 published in ,england in #aicc1 is a notable exception4 ,,principal ,,works ,,consulted ,general ,benson1
