Author: Edwin McNeely Hymnal: Christian Praise #439 (1964) Hymnal Title: Christian Praise First Line: Jehovah the Lord, our Saviour and King Lyrics: 1 Jehovah the Lord, our Saviour and King, Glad praises to Thee we ever shall sing; We come to Thine altar, the place of retreat, Where we shall find peace at Thine own mercy seat. 2 Thanksgivings we bring in our songs to Thee, For bounties of earth, for fruit of the tree, For glorious fountains of water so pure, For temples of worship all time to endure. 3 Abundant the yield of ripe fruited grain, From forest and field, from valley and plain; The verdant green pastures, so useful to man, Are tokens of blessings in Thy wondrous plan. 4 O Jesus our Lord, Thou ruler of all, Thou art ever true, whatever the call; Be Thou our defender in all time of stress, And help us live daily in true thankfulness. Amen. Topics: Thankfulness Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS

Michael Haydn

1737 - 1806 Person Name: Johann M. Haydn Hymnal Title: The New National Baptist Hymnal Composer of "[Jehovah the Lord, our Savior and King]" in The New National Baptist Hymnal Johann Michael Haydn Austria 1737-1806. Born at Rohrau, Austria, the son of a wheelwright and town mayor (a very religious man who also played the harp and was a great influence on his sons' religious thinking), and the younger brother of Franz Joseph Haydn, he became a choirboy in his youth at the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna, as did his brother, Joseph, an exceptional singer. For that reason boys both were taken into the church choir. Michael was a brighter student than Joseph, but was expelled from music school when his voice broke at age 17. The brothers remained close all their lives, and Joseph regarded Michael's religious works superior to his own. Michael played harpsichord, violin, and organ, earning a precarious living as a freelance musician in his early years. In 1757 he became kapellmeister to Archbishop, Sigismund of Grosswardein, in Hungary, and in 1762 concertmaster to Archbishop, Hieronymous of Salzburg, where he remained the rest of his life (over 40 years), also assuming the duties of organist at the Church of St. Peter in Salzburg, presided over by the Benedictines. He also taught violin at the court. He married the court singer, Maria Magdalena Lipp in 1768, daughter of the cathedral choir-master, who was a very pious women, and had such an affect on her husband, trending his inertia and slothfulness into wonderful activity. They had one daughter, Aloysia Josepha, in 1770, but she died within a year. He succeeded Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, an intimate friend, as cathedral organist in 1781. He also taught music to Carl Maria von Weber. His musical reputation was not recognized fully until after World War II. He was a prolific composer of music, considered better than his well-known brother at composing religious works. He produced some 43 symphonies,12 concertos, 21 serenades, 6 quintets, 19 quartets, 10 trio sonatas, 4 due sonatas, 2 solo sonatas, 19 keyboard compositions, 3 ballets, 15 collections of minuets (English and German dances), 15 marches and miscellaneous secular music. He is best known for his religious works (well over 400 pieces), which include 47 antiphons, 5 cantatas, 65 canticles, 130 graduals, 16 hymns, 47 masses, 7 motets, 65 offertories, 7 oratorios, 19 Psalms settings, 2 requiems, and 42 other compositions. He also composed 253 secular vocals of various types. He did not like seeing his works in print, and kept most in manuscript form. He never compiled or cataloged his works, but others did it later, after his death. Lothar Perger catalogued his orchestral works in 1807 and Nikolaus Lang did a biographical sketch in 1808. In 1815 Anton Maria Klafsky cataloged his sacred music. More complete cataloging has been done in the 1980s and 1990s by Charles H Sherman and T Donley Thomas. Several of Michael Haydn's works influenced Mozart. Haydn died at Salzburg, Austria. John Perry
