Vom Himmel Hoch Da Komm Ich Her

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals First Line: Vom Himmel hoch da komm’ ich her Lyrics: 1 Vom Himmel hoch da komm’ ich her, Ich bring’ euch gute neue Mähr, Der guten Mähr bring’ ich so viel, Davon ich sing’n und sagen will. 2 Euch ist ein Kindlein heut’ gebor’n Von einer Jungfrau auserkor’n, Ein Kindelein, so zart und fein, Das soll eu’r Freud’ und Wonne sein. 3 Es ist der Herr Christ, unser Gott, Der will euch führ’n aus aller Not, Er will eu’r Heiland selber sein, Von allen Sünden machen rein. 4 Er bringt euch alle Seligkeit, Die Gott der Vater hat bereit, Dass ihr mit uns im Himmelreich Sollt leben nun und ewiglich. 5 So merket nun das Zeichen recht, Die Krippe, Windelein so schlecht; Da findet ihr das Kind gelegt, Das alle Welt erhält und trägt. 6 Das lasst uns alle fröhlich sein Und mit den Hirten gehn hinein, Zu sehn, was Gott uns hat beschert, Mit seinem lieben Sohn verehrt. 7 Merk auf, mein Herz, und sieh dorthin! Was liegt doch in dem Krippelein? Wer ist das schöne Kindelein? Es ist das liebe Jesulein. 8 Bis willekomm, du edler Gast! Den Sünder nicht verschmähet hast, Und kommst in Elend her zu mir, Wie soll ich immer danken dir? 9 Ach Herr, du Schöpfer aller Ding’, Wie bist du worden so gering, Dass du da liegst auf duerrem Gras, Davon ein Rind und Esel asz! 10 Uud wär’ die Welt vielmal so weit, Von Edelstein und Gold bereit’t, So wär sie doch dir viel zu klein, Zu sein ein enges Wiegelein. 11 Der Sammet und die Seide dein, Das ist groß Heu und Windelein, Darauf du König so gross und reich Herprangst, als wär’s dein Himmelreich. 12 Das hat also gefallen dir, Die Wahrheit anzuzeigen mir: Wie aller Welt Macht, Ehr’ und Gut Vor dir nichts gilt, nicht hilft noch thut. 13 Ach, mein herzliebes Jesulein, Mach dir ein rein, sanft Bettelein, Zu ruhen in mein’s Herzens Schrein, Dass ich nimmer vergesse dein! 14 Davon ich allzeit fröhlich sei, Zu springen, singen immer frei Das rechte Susannine schon, Mit Herzenslust den süssen Ton. 15 Lob, Ehr’ sei Gott im höchsten Thron, Der uns schenkt seinen ein’gen Sohn! Des freuen sich der Engel Schar Und singen uns solch neues Jahr. Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

S. J. Vail

1818 - 1883 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Composer of "BE STILL MY HEART" In his youth Silas Jones Vail learned the hatter's trade at Danbury, Ct. While still a young man, he went to New York and took employment in the fashionable hat store of William H. Beebe. Later he established himself in business as a hatter at 118 Fulton Street, where he was for many years successful. But the conditions of trade changed, and he could not change with them. After his failure in 1869 or 1870 he devoted his entire time and attention to music. He was the writer of much popular music for use in churches and Sunday schools. Pieces of music entitled "Scatter Seeds of Kindness," "Gates Ajar," "Close to Thee," "We Shall Sleep, but not Forever," and "Nothing but Leaves" were known to all church attendants twenty years ago. Fanny Crosby, the blind authoress, wrote expressly for him many of the verses he set to music. --Vail, Henry H. (Henry Hobart). Genealogy of some of the Vail family descended from Jeremiah Vail at Salem, Mass., 1639, p. 234.

Jaroslav J. Vajda

1919 - 2008 Person Name: Jaroslav J. Vajda, b. 1919 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Author of "See This Wonder in the Making" in Lutheran Service Book Jaroslav J. Vajda (b. Lorain, Ohio, 1919; d. 2008) Born of Czechoslovakian parents, Vajda was educated at Concordia College in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. Ordained as a Lutheran pastor in 1944, he served congregations in Pennsylvania and Indiana until 1963. He was editor of the periodicals The Lutheran Beacon (1959-1963) and This Day (1963-1971) and book editor and developer for Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis from 1971 until his retirement in 1986. Working mainly with hymn texts, Vajda served on several Lutheran commissions of worship. A writer of original poetry since his teens, he was the author of They Followed the King (1965) and Follow the King (1977). His translations from Slovak include Bloody Sonnets (1950), Slovak Christmas (1960), An Anthology of Slovak Literature (1977), and contributions to the Lutheran Worship Supplement (1969) and the Lutheran Book of Worship (1978). A collection of his hymn texts, carols, and hymn translations was issued as Now the Joyful Celebration (1987); its sequel is So Much to Sing About (1991). Vajda's hymns are included in many modern hymnals, and he was honored as a Fellow of the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada in 1988. Bert Polman

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Arranger of "TRURO" in Renew! Songs and Hymns for Blended Worship Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrange­ments of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).
