Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ
Author: Konrad Hubert Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ,
mein Hoffnung steht auf Erden.
Ich weiß, daß du mein Tröster bist,
kein Trost mag mir sonst werden.
Von Anbeginn ist nichts erkorn,
auf Erden ward kein Mensch geborn,
der mir aus Nöten helfen kann;
ich ruf dich an,
zu dem ich mein Vertrauen han.
2 Mein Sünd' sind schwer und übergroß
und reuen mich von Herzen;
derselben mach mich frei und los
durch deinen Tod und Schmerzen;
und zeige deinem Vater an,
daß du hast g'nug für mich getan,
so werd ich los der Sünden Last.
Erhalt mich fest
in dem, was du versprochen hast.
3 Gib mir durch dein Barmherzigkeit
den wahren Christenglauben,
auf daß ich deine Gütigkeit
mög inniglich anschauen,
vor allen Dingen lieben dich
und meinen Nächsten gleich wie mich.
Am letzten End dein Hilf mir send,
damit behend
des Teufels List sich von mir wend.
4 Ehr sei Gott in dem höchsten Thron,
dem Vater aller Güte,
und Jesus Christ, seim lieben Sohn,
der uns allzeit behüte,
und Gott, dem werten Heilgen Geist,
der uns allzeit sein Hilfe leist,
daß wir ihm wohlgefällig sein
hier in der Zeit
und folgen ihm in Ewigkeit. Topics: Lieder zum Gottesdienst Beichte Used With Tune: [Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ] Text Sources: Strophe 4: Nürnberg um 1540
Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ
In Thee Alone, O Christ, My Lord
Author: Arthur T. Russell; Johannes Schneesing Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.4.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Thee alone, O Christ, my Lord,
My hope on earth remaineth;
I know Thou wilt Thine aid afford,
Naught else my soul sustaineth.
No strength of man, no earthly stay,
Can help me in the evil day;
Thou, only Thou, canst aid supply.
To Thee I cry;
On Thee I bid my heart rely.
2 My sins, O Lord, against me rise,
I mourn them with contrition;
Grant, thro’ Thy death and sacrifice,
To me a full remission.
Lord, show before the Father’s throne
That Thou didst for my sins atone;
So shall I from my load be freed.
Thy Word I plead;
Keep me, O Lord, each hour of need.
3 O Lord, in mercy stay my heart
On faith’s most sure foundation
And to my inmost soul impart
Thy perfect consolation.
Fill all my life with love to Thee,
Toward all men grant me charity;
And at the last, when comes my end,
Thy succor send.
From Satan’s wiles my soul defend.
Amen. Topics: Confession and Absolution Scripture: Romans 3:25 Used With Tune: ALLEIN ZU DIR
In Thee Alone, O Christ, My Lord
Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone
Meter: 8.4.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone
My only hope on earth I place;
For other comforter is none,
No help have I but in Thy grace.
There is no man nor creature here,
No angel in the heavenly sphere,
Who in my need can succor me;
I cry to Thee,
For Thee I trust implicitly.
2 My sin is sore and very great,
I mourn beneath its grievous load;
O free me from this heavy weight,
My Saviour, through Thy precious blood;
And with Thy Father for me plead
That Thou hast suffered in my stead;
From me the burden then is rolled.
Lord, I lay hold
On Thy dear promises of old.
3 And of Thy mercy now bestow
True Christian faith on me, O Lord!
That all the sweetness I may know
Which in Thy holy cross is stored;
Love Thee o'er earthly pride or pelf,
And love my neighbor as myself;
And when at last is come my end,
Be Thou my friend,
From Satan’s wiles my soul defend.
4 Glory to God in highest heaven,
The Father of eternal love;
To His dear Son, for sinners given,
Whose watchful grace we daily prove;
To God the Holy Ghost on high,--
O ever be His comfort nigh,
And teach us, free from sin and fear,
To please Him here,
And serve Him in the sinless sphere. Topics: Confession of Sin; Doxologies; Faith; Faith Clings to Promises; Forgiveness of Sin; Forgiveness of Sin Wrought by Christ; Love to our neighbor; Repentance Used With Tune: LORD JESUS CHRIST, IN THEE ALONE

Johannes Schneesing
1497 - 1567 Author of "Allein zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ" in Sonntagschulbuch Schneesing, Johannes, sometimes called Cnionmsus or Chyomusus, was a native of Frankfurt-am-Main. He was appointed, sometime before 1524, assistant to Johann Langenhayn, pastor of St. Margaret's church, in Gotha, who had begun, in 1522, to preach the doctrines of the Reformation. Subsequently he became pastor at Friemar, near Gotha; and in the records of the Visitation in 1534, he is described as a "learned, diligent, pious, and godly man." He died at Friemar, in 1567. (Koch, i. 376, &c.)
During Sehneesing's early years at Friemar, his energies were greatly exercised in combating the Anabaptist doctrines promulgated in the neighbourhood by Nicolaus Storch, of Zwickau. Throughout his incumbency, he greatly interested himself in the children of his flock, for whom he prepared a Catechism, taught them in school, catechised them in church, and, as his pupil, Marx Wagner declares, taught them to sing many hymns and tunes which he had himself composed. He also possessed some skill as a painter.
The only hymn which has been ascribed to Schneesing, with any certainty, is—
Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ. Penitence. The earliest hymn-book to which this has yet been traced, is the (Low German) Magdeburg Gesang-Buch, 1542, where it begins, "Alleyn tho dy," and is entitled, "A Hymn of Penitence." Wackernagel, iii., pp. 174-177, gives this, and three other forms (the oldest being from an undated Nürnberg broadsheet, circa 1540), and ascribes it to Schneesing. It was included by Luther in V. Babst's Gesang-Buch, 1545; and this text, in 4 stanzas of 9 lines, is repeated in many later collections, as in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 361. Bunsen, in his Versuch, 1833, p. 85, calls it "an immortal hymn of prayer of a confident faith."
Its rhymes show that it was evidently written in High German, and, therefore, apparently, earlier than 1542. In the earliest broadsheets and hymnbooks, it appears without name…. The translations of Schneesing's hymn are:—
1. In Thee alone, 0 Christ, my Lord. A good tr. of st. i.—iii.- by A. T. Russell, as No. 194, in his Psalms & Hymns, 1851.
2. Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone. A good and full tr., by Miss Winkworth, in her Lyra Germanica, 2nd Ser., l858, p. 129. Repeated, slightly varied in metre in her Chorale Book for England, 1863, No. 112.
Other translations are:—
(1) "In Thee, Lord Christ, is fix'd my hope." By J. C. Jacobi, 1725, p. 20. (2) “In Thee alone, Lord Jesus Christ." This is No. 308, in pt. i, of the Moravian Hymn Book, 1754. (3) " In Thee, O Christ, is all my Hope." This is based on Jacobi's tr., and is No. 539, in pt. i., of the Moravian Hymn Book, 1754 (1886, No. 284). Included in the 1780 and later eds. of Lady Huntingdon's Selection. (4) “According to Thy mercy, Lord." This is a translation of st. iii., by J. Swertner, as st. i. of No. 720, in the Moravian Hymn Book, 1789 (1886, No. 711). [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
