Hymnal: Erbauliche Lieder-Sammlung #490 (1826) Lyrics: 1 Dankt dem Herrn, ihr Gottes-knechte, Kommt erhebet seinen ruhm! Er hält Israels geschlechte Doch noch für sein eigenthum. Jesus Christus ist noch heut, Gestern und in ewigkeit. 2 Sprich nicht: es ist dieser zeiten Nicht mehr, wie es vormals war, Gott macht seine heimlichkeiten Jetzund niemand offenbar; Was er vormals hat gethan, Das geht uns anjetzt nicht an. 3 Sprich so nicht: Des Höchsten hände Sind mit nichten jetzt zu schwach, Seine güte hat kein ende Er ist gnädige vor und noch: Jesus Christus ist noch heut, Gestern und in ewigkeit. 4 Halte dich in allen dingen Nur an deines Gottes treu; Laß ich nicht zur freude bringen, Ehr dich dein Gott erfreu; Such in aller deiner noth Nichts zum trost als deinen Gott. 5 All ihr knechte Gottes höret, Sucht den in eurer noth; Wer sich zu wem anders kehret, Als zu ihm, dem wahren Gott, Der geht irr in allem stück, Und bereitet ungelück. 6 Die nur, die dem Herrn vertrauen Gehen auf der rechten bahn; Die in angst, in furcht und grauen Ihn nur einig rufen an, Denen wird allein bekannt, Gottes herrlichkeit und band. 7 Drum dankt Gott, ihr Gottes-knechte, Kommt, erhebet seinen ruhm! Er hält Israels geschlechte Doch noch für sein eigenthum, Jesus Christus ist noch heut, Gestern und in ewigkeit. Topics: Vom Lobe Gottes; Praise of God Languages: German

Heinrich Georg Neuss

1654 - 1716 Person Name: G. H. Neuß Author of "Dankt dem Herrn, ihr Gottesknechte" in Gesangbuch der Evangelischen Gemeinschaft Neuss, Heinrich Georg, son of Andreas Neuss, surgeon at Elbingerode in the Harz, was born at Elbingerode, March 11, 1654, and entered the University of Erfurt in 1677 as a student of theology. In 1680 he became a private tutor at Heimburg, near Blankenburg, and then in 1683 conrector, and in 1684 rector of the school at Blankenburg in the Harz. In 1690 he was appointed assistant preacher at Wolfenbüttel, and soon afterwards diaconus of the Heinrichstadt church there. For holding prayer meetings, &c, he was denounced as a Pietist, and chose to resign rather than desist. In the same year, 1692, he became preacher at Hedwigsburg, and travelling Chaplain to Duke Rudolph August of Brunswick, who, at Easter, 1695, appointed him superintendent at Remlingen for the district of Asseburg. In 1696 he received the degree of D.D. from the University of Giessen, and became superintendent, consistorialrath, and chief pastor of the Church of Saints Sylvester and George at Wernigerode, being instituted on Feb. 6. His appointment there was at first unpopular, for he was suspected of Separatist tendencies, but he soon gained the love of the people by his earnest and loving practical Christianity, and by the interest he took in the development of Church music, for which under his care Wernigerode became famous in all the district. He died at Wernigerode, Sept. 30, 1716 (Koch, iv. 425; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie xxiii. 556; Heinrich Georg Neuss. By Ed. Jacobs. In the Zeitschrift des Harz-Vereins, vol. xxi. 1888, p. 159, &c). The hymns of Neuss appeared principally in his Heb-Opfer zum Bau der Hütten Gottes, das ist, Geistliche Lieder, &c.; of this the first edition with 100 hymns was published at Lüneburg, 1692; and the 2nd edition, with 34 additional, at Wernigerode, 1703 [both in Berlin], most of the pieces bearing the dates of their composition. They were re ceived with great favour in Pietist circles, and Freylinghausen in his Geistreiches Gesang-Buch included no less than 38 (5 in pt. i., 1704; 33 in pt. ii., 1714). In the Werni¬gerode Gesang-Buch, 1712, edited by Neuss, 5 are included, and 5 more in the ed. of 1735. Only a few are found, in recent German collections. The 1703 edition of the Heb-Opfer had also 86 melodies, of which some 15 were by Neuss, and of these 15 passed into Freylinghausen's Gesang-Buch. In 1706 Neuss also published a collection of Brunnen-lieder at Pyrmont, for the frequenters of the Baths there. Only one of his hymns has passed into English, viz.:— Ein reines Herz, Herr, schaff in mir. Sanctification. A simple and beautiful hymn, first published in the 2nd edition, 1703, of his Heb-Opfer, p. 217, in 5 st. of 4 1. In the Berlin Geistliche Lieder, edition 1863, No. 380. Translated as:— A new and contrite heart create. A good and full translation by Miss Cox, in her Sacred Hymns from the German, 1841, p. 153 (1864, p. 177), repeated in the Baptist Hymnal, 1879. Another translation is:—- "Lord! grant a newborn heart to me," by Lady E. Fortescue, 1843, p. 58. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
