Bartholomaüs Helder

1585 - 1635 Author of "O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art" in Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Helder, Bartholomäus, son of Johann Helder, Superintendent in Gotha, became, in 1607, schoolmaster at Friemar, and in 1616, pastor of Bemstadt, near Gotha, where he died of the pestilence, Oct. 28, 1635 (Koch, iii. 114, 115, 248; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, xi. 684, 685, &c). Helder published two works (both in the Royal Library, Berlin). (1) Cymbalum Genethliacum. Erfurt, 1615 ; and (2) Cymbalum Davidicum. Erfurt, 1620. The first contains 15 Christmas and New Year Hymns, and the second 25, mostly Psalm versions. In the Cantionale Sacrum, Gotna, 1646-48, over 50 hymns are given with his name as composer of the music and without definite ascription as regards the words. Two of these have passed into English, viz.:— i. In meiner Noth ruf ich zu dir. Supplication. A prayer for grace, which appeared in the Cantionale Sacrum, pt. ii., Gotha, 1648, No. 71, in 3 st. of 6 1. Translated by Miss Manington, 1863, p. 1, as "From out my woe I cry to Thee." ii. O Lämmlein Gottes, Jesu Christ. St. John Baptist's Day. Founded on St. John i. 29. Appeared as No. 103 in the Cantionale Sacrum, Gotha, 1646, in 4 stanzas of 4 lines, entitled, "On St. John's Day." Included as No. 391 in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen. 1851. The only translation in common use is "O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art," in full, by A. Crull, as No. 120 in the Ohio Lutheran Hymnal, 1880. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

August Crull

1845 - 1923 Person Name: Rev. A. Crull Translator of "O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art" in Evangelical Lutheran hymnal August Crull was born January 27, 1845 in Rostock, Germany, where his father, Hofrat Crull, was a lawyer. He was educated at the Gymnasium in Rostock, and at Concordia College in St. Louis and Fort Wayne where he graduated in 1862. His father died soon after he began studying at the Gymnasium. His mother then married Albert Friedrich Hoppe, who later became the editor of the St. Louis edition of Luther's Works. In 1865, Crull graduated from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. He became assistant pastor at Trinity Church in Milwaukee and also served as Director of the Lutheran High School. Later he was pastor of the Lutheran Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. From 1873 to 1915, he was professor of the German language and literature at Concordia College in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After his retirement he returned to Milwaukee, where he died on February 17, 1923. His first wife and three of his four children preceded him in death. His second wife, Katharina John, survived him by many years. Crull was a distinguished hymnologist and translated many hymns that appeared in several Lutheran hymnals. He published a German grammar and edited a book of devotions, Das walte Gott, based on the writings of Dr. C.F.W. Walther. His project of translating Lutheran hymns so they would be accessible to American Lutherans bore its first fruits when he published a book of English hymns at the Norwegian Synod publishers in Decorah, in 1877. --www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/
