The text of this hymn was written in 1680 by German Calvinist Joachim Neander (1650-1680). Neander set his music to the melody of "Lobe Den Herren" from the "Stralsund Gesangbuch" (Published in 1665. Stralsund is a german city with Gesangbuch simply being german for hymnal.) Catherine Winkworth then later translated this hymn to English in 1863. (1, 2). The original hymn words and music is available in SATB format here.

This would be my favorite. Maybe because it seems like a lesser known hymn . . .
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite arrangements for this song.. as well as one of my favorite songs.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Fantastic.... "Let the Amen Sound from His people again. Join me in glad adoration" This may be lesser know with the LDS crowd, but this is a battle cry hymn in the UMC and Baptist churches! I adore this arrangement! You really have a gift for arranging hymns/music!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! OMG! THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!! I REALLY HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THE MUSIC SHEETS FOR THIS SOON!!!! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HEARING IT AND I LOVE IT!!! I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING IT:):):):)

ReplyDeletePlease post this song! It is a lesser known hymn but by the way that you composed it, I bet people will really want to sing it more often because it is SO beautiful just like all of your other arrangements!!!!! Please post sheet next :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your music, your talent freely. As a fellow musician I understand how much work it is to actually get your music down in notation (especially if you're using finale haha). Anyway, if you are planning on doing another one soon, please please PLEASE do this one! I loved it the most. I will be playing your Joseph Smith Medley this Sunday for offertory and I will come back and let you know how my church reacted to it!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
