Johann Christian Zimmerman

1779 - 1839 Person Name: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Author of "Shun, my Heart, such Thought Forever" in Hymnal and Order of Service Johan Olaf Wallin was born at Stora Tuna, in 1779, and early displayed his poetical powers. In 1805, and again in 1809, he gained the chief prize for poetry at Upsala. In the latter year he became pastor at Solna; here his ability as a preacher was so striking that he was transferred to Stockholm, in 1815, as "pastor primarius," a title for which we have no exact equivalent. In 1818 he was made Dean of Westeras, and set about the task of editing a revised hymn-book for the whole of Sweden. This task he completed in 1819, and published it as, Den Swenska Psalmboken, af Konungen gillad och stadfästad (The Swedish hymn-book, approved and confirmed by the King). To it he contributed some 150 hymns of his own, besides translations and recastings; and the book remains now in the form in which he brought it out. It is highly prized by the Swedes, and is in use everywhere. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, p. 1000 (1907)

Benjamin Praetorius

1636 - 1674 Person Name: Benjamin Prätorius Author of "Sei getreu bis an das Ende" in Die Glaubensharfe (With Melodies) Prätorius, Benjamin, son of Andreas Prätorius, pastor at Obergreieslau near Weissenfels in Saxony, was born at Obergreisslau, January 1, 1636. In 1637. his father was appointed pastor at Gross-Lissa near Delitzsch, in Saxony. Benjamin became a student of theology, and giaduated M.A., probably at Leipzig. In the entry of his marriage in the registers of Gross-Lista, for 1657, he is described as "regularly ordained substitute and future successor of this parish": and he is never described in the registers except as Pastor-substitute. His ninth child was born in 1671, and on Jan. 8, 1675, his son Andreas Benjamin, on acting as godfather, is described as “surviving son" of M. Benjamin Prätorius. It is probable that he died some time in 1674, but as the register of deaths of this period is lost, we are unable to fix the exact date (K. Goedeke's Grundriss, vol. iii., 1887, p. 176; manuscript from Pastor Moebius of Gross-Lissa, &c). According to Wetzel, ii., 314, he was crowned as a poet on Feb. 15, 1661. In the registers for 1663 he first designs himself "poëta Caes." and "Kais. gekrönter Poëta" (i.e. imperial crowned poet), and in 1670 as "poëta Caes. laur. coronatus." His hymns appeared in his (1) Jauchtzendes Libanon, Leipzig, 1659, and (2) Spielende Myrten-Aue, Leipzig, 1663. In the preface to the latter he signs himself as "C. P. Caes. und Diener am Wort daselbst" (minister of the Word), under date “Gross-Lissa, Dec. 24, 1663." The only hymn by him translated into English is:— Sei getreu bis an das Ende. The Reward of the Faithful. In 1659, as above, No. 64, p. 15?, in 9 stanzas of 8 lines, and founded on Rev. ii. 10. In full in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 339. It is also often found as "Sei getreu in deinem Leiden," as in the Berlin Geistliche Lieder, ed. 1863, No. 749. This is from Luppius' sGesang-Buch, Wesel, 1692, p. 22, where it is in 7 stanzas (iv., ii., iii., v., ix., i. and a new stanza which begins, "So wohlan, so will ich leiden"), and is erroneously ascribed to J. C. Schade. The original form is tr. as:— Be thou faithful to the end, Let not. By Miss Warner, in her Hymns of the Church Militant, 1858, p. 362, repeated as No. 255, in Bishop Ryle's Collection, 1860. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
