Hymns<\/strong><\/p>\n

O, for a heart to praise my God<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0O for a heart to praise my God <\/em><\/strong>is\u00a0by Charles Wesley (1707-1788). This hymn has the Wesleyan emphasis on the religion of the heart, which is transformed by the saving blood of Jesus. The hope for perfection is deeply Wesleyan. The Beatitudes likewise point the Christian to greater and greater perfection: Blessed are the pure of heart, blessed are the meek. Perfection is found in love, because we become sharers of the divine nature, and Jesus reveals the \u201cnew, best name\u201d of God, Love.<\/p>\n

1 O for a heart to praise my God,
\na heart from sin set free;
\na heart that\u2019s sprinkled with the blood
\nso freely shed for me:<\/p>\n

2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
\nmy great Redeemer\u2019s throne;
\nwhere only Christ is heard to speak,
\nwhere Jesus reigns alone:<\/p>\n

3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
\nbelieving, true, and clean,
\nwhich neither life nor death can part
\nfrom Him that dwells within:<\/p>\n

4 A heart in every thought renewed,
\nand full of love divine;
\nperfect and right and pure and good \u2014
\na copy, Lord, of Thine.<\/p>\n

5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
\ncome quickly from above;
\nwrite Thy new name upon my heart,
\nThy new best name of Love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Protestants, following Luther, tended to think that man was\u00a0simul justus et peccator<\/em>, at the same time just and a sinner. Luther used the Ten Commandments in his catechesis, but he thought the purpose of the Law was to show us that we were unable to obey it, and that we had to receive the unearned forgiveness of God. (He did not tell children that they were unable to obey the Commandments!) But Wesley thought that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, the heart, the emotions, the deep well of our being, could be \u201cstrangely warmed\u201d and that we could therefore attain to sinless perfection in this life. Jesus in the Beatitudes calls us to a high perfection, and above that perfection are the gifts of the Holy Spirit which supernaturalize human nature and help us to attain to participation in the divine nature, to divinization (theosis).<\/p>\n

Jesus, lead the way<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus, lead the way<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a translation by the Episcopal clergyman Arthur W. Fandlander of the German hymn\u00a0Jesu, geh\u2019 voran<\/em>, written by Nicolas Ludwig, Graf von Zinzendorf. It is a simple prayer for help in the difficulties and pains of life, and a reminder that the way of the cross leads home to God.<\/p>\n

\"von<\/a><\/p>\n

Nicolas Ludwig, Graf von Zinzendorf<\/em><\/p>\n

The tune SEELENBR\u00c4UTIGAM (The Bridegroom of the soul) is by Adam Drese (1620\u20141701). In 1697 he wrote\u00a0Seelenbr\u00e4utigam, Jesus, Gottes lamm<\/em>. In 1721 Von Zinzendorf wrote\u00a0Seelenbr\u00e4utigam,<\/em>\u00a0o du Gottes Lamm<\/em>, and set it to Drese\u2019s melody, thereby leading to a confusion between the two hymns. Von Zinzendorf later wrote\u00a0Jesu, geh voran<\/em>, which is set to Drese\u2019s tune, and it is a translation of this hymn that we use in the 1940\u00a0Hymnal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Arthur William Farlander\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The version in the\u00a01940 Hymnal<\/em>\u00a0is the translation by Arthur William Farlander (1898\u20141952). Farlander was born in Germany. Sometime in his early life he moved to the United States and was confirmed as an Episcopalian in the 1920s. \u00a0He was ordained in 1927. He was rector of a church in San Francisco, dean of St James Cathedral in Fresno, and later rector of churches in Santa Clara and Santa Rosa. He was on the twenty-four member committee which produced the\u00a01940 Hymna<\/em>l for which he helped translate six texts. He was a pioneer in Episcopal radio ministry.<\/p>\n

Drese was at first musician at the court of Duke Wilhelm, of Sachse-Weimar; and after being sent by the Duke for further training under Marco Sacchi at Warsaw, was appointed his Kapellmeister in 1655. On the Duke\u2019s death in 1662, his son, Duke Bernhard, took Drese with him to Jena, appointed him his secretary, and, in 1672, Town Mayor. After Duke Bernhard\u2019s death, in 1678, Drese remained in Jena till 1683, when he was appointed Kapellmeister at Arnstadt to Prince Anton G\u00fcnther of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, who required Drese to put aside secular music and concentrate on Pietist compositions. He died at Arnstadt shortly before J. S. Bach came there.<\/p>\n

Jesus, led the way
\nThrough our life\u2019s long long day,
\nAnd with faithful footsteps steady,
\nWe will follow, ever ready;
\nGuide us by Thy hand
\nTo our fatherland.
\nShould our lot be hard,
\nKeep us on our guard;
\nEven through severest trial
\nMake us brave in self-denial
\nTransient pain may be,
\nBut a way to Thee.<\/p>\n

When we need relief,
\nFrom an inner grief,
\nOr when evils come alluring
\nMake us patient and enduring:
\nLet us follow still
\nThy most holy will.<\/p>\n

Order thou our ways,
\nWhen we need relief,
\nFrom an inner grief,
\nOr when evils come alluring
\nMake us patient and enduring:
\nLet us follow still
\nThy most holy will.<\/p>\n

Saviour, all our days:
\nOrder thou our ways,
\nWhen we need relief,
\nFrom an inner grief,
\nOr when evils come alluring
\nMake us patient and enduring:
\nLet us follow still
\nThy most holy will.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here, with a somewhat different translation, \u00a0is a choral\u00a0arrangement<\/a><\/p>\n

Von Zinzendorf\u2019s hymn:<\/p>\n

Jesus, geh voran
\nauf der Lebensbahn;
\nund wir wollen nicht verweilen,
\nDir getreulich nachzueilen,
\nf\u00fchr uns an der Hand
\nbis ins Vaterland.<\/p>\n

Soll\u2019s uns hart ergehn
\nla\u00df uns feste stehn,
\nund auch in den schwersten Tagen
\nniemals \u00fcber Lasten klagen;
\ndenn durch Tr\u00fcbsal hier
\ngeht der Weg zu Dir.<\/p>\n

R\u00fchret eigner Schmerz
\nirgend unser Herz,
\nk\u00fcmmert uns ein fremdes Leiden:
\nO so gib Geduld zu beiden.
\nRichte unsern Sinn
\nauf Dein Kommen hin.<\/p>\n

Ordne unsern Gang,
\nJesus, Leben slang.
\ndurch rauhe Wege,
\ngib uns auch die n\u00f6t\u2019ge Pflege.
\nTu uns nach dem Lauf
\nDeine T\u00fcre auf.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is Bach\u2019s 1697 arrangement of\u00a0Jesu, geh voran<\/a>, using Drese\u2019s tune and words..<\/p>\n

J.S. Bach in 1736 used Drese\u2019s\u00a0Seelenbraatigam, Jesus Gottes lamm<\/em>\u00a0as the basis for his cantata of that name (BWV 496). Here is\u00a0a version<\/a>\u00a0and also the beginning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And here is the complete text:<\/p>\n

Seelenbr\u00e4utigam,
\nJesu, Gotteslamm!
\nhabe Dank f\u00fcr deine Liebe,
\ndie mich zieht aus reinem Triebe
\nvon dem S\u00fcndenschlamm,
\nJesu, Gotteslamm.<\/p>\n

Deine Liebesglut
\nLicht st\u00e4rket Mut und Blut,
\nwend nu freundlich mich anblickest
\nund an deine Brust mich dr\u00fcckest,
\nmacht mich wohlgemut
\ndeine Liebesglut.<\/p>\n

Wahrer Mensch und Gott,
\nTost in Not und Tod,
\ndu bist darum Mensch geboren,
\nzu ersetzen, was verloren,
\ndurch dein Blut so rot,
\nwahrer Mensch und Gott.<\/p>\n

Meines Glaubens Licht
\nlass verl\u00f6schen nicht,
\nsalbe mich mit Freuden\u00f6le,
\ndass hinfort in meiner Seele
\nja verl\u00f6sche nicht
\ndeine Liebesglut.<\/p>\n

So werd ich in dir
\nbleiben f\u00fcr und f\u00fcr,
\ndeine Liebe will ich ehren
\nund in dir dein Lob vermehren,
\nweil ich f\u00fcr und f\u00fcr
\nbleiben werd in dir.<\/p>\n

Held aus Davids Stamm,
\ndeine Liebesflamm
\nmich ern\u00e4hre, und verwehre,
\ndass die Welt mich nicht versehre,
\nob sie mir gleich gram,
\nHeld aus Davids Stamm.<\/p>\n

Gro\u00dfer Friedensf\u00fcrst,
\nwie hast du ged\u00fcrst
\nnach der Menschen Heil und Leben
\nund dich in den Tod gegeben,
\nda du riefst: Mich d\u00fcrst\u2019,
\ngro\u00dfer Friedensf\u00fcrst.<\/p>\n

Deinen Frieden gib
\naus so reiner Lieb,
\nuns, den Deinen, die dich kennen
\nund nach dir sich Christen nennen,
\ndenen bist du lieb,
\ndeinen Frieden gib.<\/p>\n

Wer der Welt abstirbt,
\nemsig sich bewirbt
\num den lebendigen Glauben,
\nder wird bald empfind1ich schauen,
\ndass niemand verdirbt,
\nwer der Welt abstirbt.<\/p>\n

Nun ergreif ich dich,
\nach! ergreife mich!
\nich will nimmermehr dich lassen,
\nsondern gl\u00e4ubig dich umfassen,
\nweil im Glauben ich
\nnun ergreife dich.
\nWenn ich weinen muss,
\nwird dein Tr\u00e4nenfluss
\nnun die meinen auch begleiten
\nund zu deinen Wunden leiten,
\ndass mein Tr\u00e4nenfluss
\nsich bald stillen muss.<\/p>\n

Wenn ich mich aufs neu
\nwiederum erfreu,
\nfreuest du dich auch zugleiche,
\nbis ich dort in deinem Reiche
\newiglich aufs neu
\nmich mit dir erfreu.<\/p>\n

Hier durch Spott und Hohn,
\ndort die Ehrenkron;
\nhier im Hoffen und im Glauben,
\ndort im Haben und im Schauen;
\ndenn die Ehrenkron
\nfolgt auf Spott und Hohn.<\/p>\n

Jesu, hilf, dass ich
\nallhier ritterlich
\nalles durch dich \u00fcberwinde
\nund in deinem Sieg empfinde,
\nwie so ritterlich
\ndu gek\u00e4mpft f\u00fcr mich.<\/p>\n

Du mein Preis und Ruhm,
\nwerte Saronsblum,
\nin mir soll nun nichts erschallen
\nals was dir nur kann gefallen,
\nwerte Saronsblum,
\ndu mein Preis und Ruhm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Schleiermacher also wrote a short hymn for this melody:\u00a0Dienen Frieden gieb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Songs of thankfulness and praise<\/em><\/p>\n

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise<\/strong><\/em> was written by Christopher Wordsworth. He described it as \u201crecapitulation of the successive manifestations of Christ, which have already been presented in the services of the former weeks throughout the season of Epiphany; and anticipation of that future great and glorious Epiphany, at which Christ will be manifest to all, when he will appear again to judge the world.\u201d Through his miracles, his acts, Jesus manifests his nature, and gives us a foretaste of the time when he will finally reveal himself and come to heal the world of all evil, all sickness, and of death itself.<\/p>\n

1. Songs of thankfulness and praise,
\nJesus, Lord, to Thee we raise,
\nManifested by the star
\nTo the sages from afar;
\nBranch of royal David\u2019s stem
\nIn Thy birth at Bethlehem;
\nAnthems be to Thee addressed,
\nGod in man made manifest.<\/p>\n

2. Manifest at Jordan\u2019s stream,
\nProphet, Priest, and King supreme,
\nAnd at Cana, Wedding-guest,
\nIn Thy Godhead manifest;
\nManifest in power divine,
\nChanging water into wine.
\nAnthems be to Thee addressed
\nGod in man made manifest.<\/p>\n

3. Manifest in making whole
\nPalsied limbs and fainting soul;
\nManifest in valiant fight,
\nQuelling all the devil\u2019s might;
\nManifest in gracious will,
\nEver bringing good from ill.
\nAnthems be to Thee addressed,
\nGod in man made manifest.<\/p>\n

4. Sun and moon shall darkened be,
\nStars shall fall, the heavens shall flee;
\nChrist will then like lightning shine,
\nAll will see His glorious sign;
\nAll will then the trumpet hear,
\nAll will see the Judge appear;
\nThou by all wilt be confessed,
\nGod in man made manifest.<\/p>\n

5. Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord,
\nMirrored in Thy holy Word;
\nMay we imitate Thee now
\nAnd be pure as pure art Thou
\nThat we like to Thee may be
\nAt Thy great Epiphany
\nAnd may praise Thee, ever blest,
\nGod in man made manifest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How beautiful are the feet of them<\/em>, G. F. Handel<\/p>\n

How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ave Maria<\/em>, Robert Parsons<\/p>\n

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert Parsons was composing during a period of major religious upheaval in England. After the death of Henry VIII in 1547, the new King Edward VI advanced the Reformation in England, introducing major changes to the liturgy of the Church of England. In 1549, Thomas Cranmer’s new Book of Common Prayer swept away the old Latin liturgy and replaced it with prayers in English. This brand new liturgy suddenly demanded that new music should be written for the church in English, and musicians of the Chapel Royal such as Thomas Tallis, John Sheppard, and Robert Parsons were called upon to demonstrate that the new Protestantism was no less splendid than the old Catholic religion. During the reign of Mary Tudor (1553\u20131558), a revival of Catholic practice encouraged a return to Latin music, but after Elizabeth I ascended to the throne of England in 1558, vernacular English liturgy and music came back into favour.<\/p>\n

Parsons is especially noted for his choral motets, and he is recognised as a master of polyphonic writing for choirs with his skilled use of cantus firmus within his works. Notable works include his setting of the Ave Maria.<\/p>\n
