O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign, For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

Warum Willst Du Draussen Stehen?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13575 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Warum willst du draußen stehen Lyrics: 1 Warum willst du draußen stehen, Du Gesegneter des Herrn? Laß dir, bei mir einzugehen, Wohlgefallen, du mein Stern, Du mein Jesu, meine Freud, Helfer in der rechten Zeit, Hilf, o Heiland, meinem Herzen Von den Wunden, die mich schmerzen. 2 Meine Wunden sind der Jammer, Welchen oftmals Tag und Nacht Des Gesetzes starker Hammer Mir mit seinem Schrecken macht, O der schweren Donnerstimm, Die mir Gottes Zorn und Grimm Also tief ins Herze schläget, Daß sich all mein Blut beweget! 3 Dazu kommt des Teufels Lügen, Der mir alle Gnad absagt, Als müßt ich nun ewig liegen In der Höllen, die ihn plagt. Ja auch, was noch ärger ist, So zermartert und zerfrißt Mich mein eigenes Gewissen Mit vergiften Schlangenbissen. 4 Will ich dann mein Elend lindern Und erleichtern meine Not Bei der Welt und ihren Kindern, Fall ich vollends in den Kot. Da ist Trost, der mich betrübt, Freude, die mein Unglück liebt, Helfer, die mir Herzlied machen, Gute Freunde, die mein lachen. 5 In der Welt ist alles nichtig, Nichts ist, das nicht kraftlos wär. Hab ich Hoheit, die ist flüchtig; Hab ich Reichtum, was ists mehr, Als ein Stücklein armer Erd? Hab ich Lust, was ist sie wert? Was ist, das mich heut erfreuet, Das mich morgen nicht gereuet? 6 Aller Trost und alle Freude Ruht in dir, Herr Jesu Christ, Dein Erfreuen ist die Weide, Da man sich recht fröhlich ißt. Leuchte mir, o Freudenlicht, Ehe mir mein Herze bricht, Laß mich, Herr, an dir erquicken, Jesu, komm, laß dich erblicken. 7 Freu dich, Herz, du bist erhöret, Jetzo zeucht er bei dir ein; Sein Gang ist zu dir gekehret, Heiß ihn nur willkommen sein, Und bereite dich ihm zu, Gieb dich ganz zu seiner Ruh, Öffne dein Gemüt und Seele, Klag ihm, was dich drück und quäle. 8 Was du Böses hast begangen, Das ist alles abgeschafft. Gottes Liebe nimmt gefangen Deiner Sünde Macht und Kraft. Christi Sieg behält das Feld, Und was Böses in der Welt Sich will wider dich erregen, Wird zu lauter Glück und Segen. 9 Alles dient zu deinem Frommen, Was dir bös und schädlich scheint, Weil dich Christus angenommen Und es treulich mit dir meint. Bleibst du deme wieder treu, Ists gewiß und bleibt dabei, Daß du mit den Engeln droben Ihn dort ewig werdest loben. Languages: German Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

Wherefore Dost Thou Longer Tarry?

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13397 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Wherefore dost Thou longer tarry Lyrics: 1 Wherefore dost Thou longer tarry, Blessed of the Lord, afar? Would it were Thy will to enter To my heart, O Thou my Star, Thou my Jesus, Fount of power, Helper in the needful hour! Sharpest wounds my heart is feeling, Touch them, Saviour, with Thy healing! 2 For I shrink beneath the terrors Of the law’s tremendous sway; All my countless crimes and errors Stand before me night and day. Oh the heavy, fearful load Of the righteous wrath of God! Oh the awful voice of thunder Cleaving heart and soul asunder! 3 While the foe my soul is telling, There is grace no more for thee, Thou must make thy endless dwelling In the pains that torture me. Yes, and keener still thy smart, Conscience, in my anguished heart, By thy venomed tooth tormented, Long past sins are sore repented. 4 Would I then, to soothe my sorrow, And my pain awhile forget, From the world a comfort borrow, I but sink the deeper yet, She hath comforts that but grieve, Joys that stinging memories leave, Helpers that my heart are breaking, Friends that do but mock its aching. 5 All the world can give is cheating, Strengthless all, and merely nought; Have I greatness, it is fleeting; Have I riches, are they aught But a heap of glittering earth? Pleasure? Little is it worth When it brings no joy or laughter That thou wilt not rue hereafter. 6 All delight, all consolation Lies in Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, Feed my soul with Thy salvation, O Thou Bread of Life unpriced. Blessed Light, within me glow, Ere my heart breaks in its woe; Oh refresh me and uphold me, Jesu, come, let me behold Thee. 7 Joy, my soul, for He hath heard thee, He will come and enter in; Lo! He turns and draweth toward thee, Let thy welcome-song begin; Oh prepare thee for such guest, Give thee wholly to thy rest, With an opened heart adore Him, Pour thy griefs and fears before Him. 8 Thy misdeeds are thine no longer, He hath cast them in the sea, And the love of God shall conquer All the strength of sin in thee. Christ is victor in the field, Mightiest wrong to Him must yield, He with blessing will exalt thee O’er whate’er would here assault thee. 9 What would seem to hurt or shame thee Shall but work thy good at last, Since the Christ hath deigned to claim thee, And His truth stands ever fast; And if thou can but endure, There is nought so fixed and sure, As that thou shalt hymn His praises In the happy heav’nly places.

When The Lord Recalls The Banished

Author: Samuel G. Bürde; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8972 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When the Lord recalls the banished, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanished Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. 2 Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Look on us who widely roam, And Thy scattered children gather In their longed-for, promised home; Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day; Faithful warriors hast Thou found us, Let Thy peace for aye surround us. 3 In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers: There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens—there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full reward alone; They who all for God surrender Bring their sheaves in heav’nly splendor.

Johann Schop

1590 - 1667 Composer of "[Werde munter, mein Gemüte]" in Gesangbuch der Evangelischen Gemeinschaft Johann Schop Germany 1590-1667. Born at lower Saxony, Germany, he became a Lutheran composer and violinist, much admired for his virtuoso and technical ability. In 1614 Duke Friedrich Ulrich made him a probationary musician in the Hofkapelle at Wolfenbuttel. He performed playing various instruments, but excelled as a violinist. He was engaged permanently in 1615, but the same year he responded to a summons to join the flourishing musical establishment of King Christian IV of Denmark in Copenhagen. There he met English viol player, William Brade, who had earlier been in service to Hamburg, Germany (and may have taught Schop there). Schops compositions for the violin set impressive demands for that area at that time. He also played other instruments, including the violi, lute, cornet, trombon, trumpet, zinke, and violin (virtuoso). In 1619 Schop and Brade left Copenhagen to escape the plague. He then went to Iburg, where he worked at the courtof the Osnabruck bishop, Philipp Sigismund. Schop had such a reputation that he soon acquired a post as Kapellmeister at an establishment in Hamburg and was the first member of the council music. In 1621 he was its director and the leading municipal violinist in that city, which offered him a substantial income for his participation in the church music program. He also was organist at the Jacobikirche. In 1634 he again traveled to Copenhagen with Heinrich Schutz and Heinrich Albert for the wedding of Crown Prince Christian. He won a violin contest there. Few German violinists were of his caliber musically. He returned to Hamburg, and the Danish king tried several times to woo him back to Denmark, but he stayed in Hamburg, becoming a director of music. He published books of violin music in 4 to 6 parts. He wrote two books of well-loved dance pieces and sacred concertos. He co-founded a school of song writing there in Hamburg with Thomas Selle. Many of his tunes were writtten for fellow townsmen and friend Johann Rist. Some of his music was performed at the Peace of Westphalia celebrations. Some of his tunes were used by chants in a cantata. Schop was married (wife’s name not found) and they had two sons, Johann II, and Albert, who also became musicians. He died in Hamburg. John Perry

Johann Sebastian Bach

1685 - 1750 Person Name: J. S. Bach Arranger of "WERDE MUNTER" in Rejoice in the Lord Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended. Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception). In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake. After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Martin Janus

1620 - 1682 Author of "Jesus, joy of man's desiring" in The Mennonite Hymnal Janus, Martin, seems to have been a native of Silesia, and to have been born about 1620. After receiving his license in theology, he became Precentor of the two churches at Sorau, in Silesia, then, about 1653, was appointed Rector of the Evangelical School at Sagan, and Precentor at the church near the Eckersdorf gate. He became Pastor at Eckersdorf about 1664, but was expelled by the Imperial Edict of March 13, 1668, by which all Evangelical pastors and teachers were driven out of the principality. He is said to have become Precentor at Ohlau, in Silesia, and died there about 1682. The only hymn by him translation into English is:— Jesu meiner Seelen Wonne. Love to Christ. Included in the Christlich Herzens Andacht, Nürnberg, 1665 [Wolfenbüttel], No. 24, in 18 stanzas, repeated with his name in the Nürnberg Gesang-Buch, 1676, &c, and in Porst's Gesang-Buch, ed. 1855, No. 715. Sometimes erroneously ascribed to J. Scheffler. The translation is, "0! at last I did discover," beginning with stanza v. as No. 464 in pt. i. of the Moravian Hymn Book, 1754. In the 1789 and later eds. (1886, No. 338) it begins "0! at last I've found my Saviour." [Rev. James Mearns, M. A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
