Remove from us, O faithful God

Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #188 (1732) Lyrics: I. Remove from us, O faithful God, Thy dreadful and avenging rod, Which by our num'rous crying Crimes We have deserv'd a Thousand Times. Sad Famine, War and Pestilence Prevent by thy good Providence. II. In Pity, Lord, look on our Race; And grant us thy all-saving Grace: Shou'd thy just Anger go so far To call us to thy Judgment-Bar, What Man could stand before thine Eye, Or plead his Truth, and Guilt deny? III. In Thee we trust; to Thee on high, In Heaviness of Soul we cry. Give us a Token of thy Grace, By shewing thy relieving Face. By true Repentance bring us Home, And save us from the Wrath to come. IV. Oh, raise no more such dreadful Storms Against so file and feeble Worms. O, great Creator, thou well know'st, That this our Frame's but transient Dust; Our best Endeavours Little gain; And, search'd by thee, we're all but vain. V. Sin still besets us ev'ry where; Nor Satan fails to lay his Snare; The wicked World, with Flesh and Blood, Conspires to rob us of all Good. O Lord, this is not hid from Thee; Have Mercy on our Misery. VI. Regard thy Son's most bitter Moans, Wounds, Agonies, and dying Groans; The Pains he felt, the Blood he spilt T'attone for all our Sin and Guilt. O, for his Sake our Guilt forgive, And let the mourning Sinners live. VII. O Lord, conduct us by thy Hand; And bless these Realms by Sea and Land; Preserve thy Word amongst us pure; Keep us from Satan's Wiles secure; Grant us to dye in Peace and Love, And see thy glorious Face above.

Martin Moller

1547 - 1606 Person Name: Martin Moeller Author of "Remove from us, O faithful God" Moller, Martin, son of Dionysius Moller, mason at Liessnitz (now Kroptädt), near Wittenberg, was born at Liessnitz, Nov. 11, 1547. He attended the town school at Wittenberg and the gymnasium at Görlitz, but was too poor to go to any university. In 1568 he was appointed cantor at Löwenberg in Silesia, but in April, 1572, was ordained as pastor of Kesselsdorf, near Löwenberg. In the autumn of 1572 he was appointed diaconus at Löwenberg, in 1575 pastor at Sprottau, and in July, 1600, became chief pastor at Görlitz. He preached his last sermon, Oct. 30, 1605, and died at Görlitz, March 2, 1606 (Koch, ii. 211, iv. 552, &c). Moller's hymns appeared in his two very popular devotional books, (I) Meditationes sanctorumpatrum, Görlitz, 1584; pt. ii., Görlitz, 1591, and various later eds. This was mostly made up of meditations from St. Augustine, St. Bernard, and Tauler, selected and tr. into German by Moller. (2) Manuale de praeparatione ad mortem. Görlitz, 1593 [Library of the Prediger-Seminar at Hannover]. Wackernagel, v., Nos. 71-75, gives only 5 hymns under Moller's name. Of these No. 72 ("Heiliger Geist, du Tröster mein") is from “Veni Sancte Spiritus, et emitte " (q.v.), and No. 73, (“Nimm von uns Herr") from "Aufer immensam.” Two versions of the "Jesu dulcis memoria " have also often been ascribed to Moller, viz. "Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid", and, with less reason, "O Jesu süss, wer dein gedenkt." [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] ----John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Johann Christian Jacobi

1670 - 1750 Author of "Remove from us, O faithful God" Jacobi, John Christian, a native of Germany, was born in 1670, and appointed Keeper of the Royal German Chapel, St. James's Palace, London, about 1708. He held that post for 42 years, and died Dec. 14, 1750. He was buried in the Church of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. His publications included :— (1) A Collection of Divine Hymns, Translated from the High Dutch. Together with their Proper Tunes and Thorough Bass. London: Printed and Sold by J. Young, in St. Paul’s Churchyard; . . . 1720. This edition contains 15 hymns. Two years later this collection, with a few changes in the text and much enlarged, was republished as (2) Psalmodia Germanica; or a Specimen of Divine Hymns. Translated from the High Dutch. Together with their Proper Tunes and Thorough Bass. London: J. Young . 1722. This edition contained 62 hymns, of which 3 ("He reigns, the Lord our Saviour reigns"; "Is God withdrawing"? "Shepherds rejoice") and the first stanza of another ("Raise your devotion, mortal tongues," from "Hosannah to the Prince of Life") were taken from I. Watts. A second part was added in 1725, and was incorporated with the former part in 1732. London, G. Smith. After Jacobi's death the Psalmodia Germanica was republished, in 1765, by John Haberkorn, with a Supplement of 32 pieces. [George Arthur Crawford, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
