Noch immer wechseln ordentlich

Hymnal: Erbauliche Lieder-Sammlung #720 (1826) Lyrics: 1 Noch immer wechseln ordentlich Des jahres zeiten ab: Und früh und spät ergiesset sich Dein regen,Gott, herab. 2 Du öffnest deine milde hand, Und steuerst unsrer noth. Du segnest, du erfüllst das land Mit deinen gütern, Gott! 3 Von deinem hohen himmel träuft Gedeyn und fruchtbarkeit. Die saat geht auf, und blüht, und reift Und sättigt und erfreut. 4 Von dir gesegnet giebt der baum, Wenn einer schatten sucht, Ihm unter seinem zweige raum, Erfrischung und auch frucht. 5 Wie frölich lächelt jede flur! Es fließt, sich immer gleich, Der freude quell und die natur Ist unerschöpflich reich. 6 Uns strömet sie, von dir erfüllt, Lust und vergnügen zu. Wer ist so gut, so treu, so mild; So väterlich wie du? 7 Herr! ohne dich vergiengen wir, Und wir verdientens auch; Und dennoch leben wir in dir, Beseelt durch deinen hauch. 8 Nicht einem mangelt deine huld, Und jedem strahlt dein licht, Du gebst, nach göttlicher geduld, Mit uns nicht ins gericht. 9 Ach menschen! betet, betet an! Erwegts, und denket nun: Was hat Gott schon an uns gethan? Was wird er nicht noch thun? Topics: Zugabe; Miscellaneous; Allmacht Gottes; God's Omnipotence Languages: German

Johann Andreas Cramer

1723 - 1788 Author of "Noch immer wechseln ordentlich" Cramer, Johann Andreas, born Jan. 27, 1723, at Jönstadt or Johann-Georgen-Stadt, in the Saxon Harz, where his father was pastor. After studying at the University of Leipzig, where he graduated M.A. in 1745, he was in 1748 appointed preacher at Crellwitz, near Lützen, and in 1750 Court Preacher and member of the Consistory at Quedlinburg. Four years later he became German Court Preacher to King Frederick V. of Denmark, at Copenhagen. There he obtained great fame as a preacher and teacher; and was appointed in 1765 Professor of Theology in the University. But after the accession of Charles VII., in 1766, the free-thinking party in the State gradually gained the ascendancy, and procured his removal; whereupon he was appointed, in 1771, Superintendent in Lubeck. When the orthodox party regained power in 1774, he was recalled to Denmark, as Vice-Chancellor, and First Professor of Theology in the University of Kiel, and in 1784 Chancellor. He died at Kiel on the night of June 11-12, 1788 (Koch, vi. 334-344; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, iv. 550-551; Bode, pp. 54-55—the last dating his birth, Jan. 29). Cramer was rather a writer of religious lyrics than of hymns, though at least 80 of his compositions passed Into the hymn-books of his times.
