For Temporal and Eternal Welfare

Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O God, my Father! thanks to Thee Lyrics: O God, my Father! thanks to Thee I bring with deep humility, That Thou Thine anger endest, And that Thy Son, Our Joy and Crown, Into the world Thou sendest. He hath appear’d, His precious blood Hath pourèd forth in such a flood, That all our sins it washes. Who to Him cleaves, He soon relieves Of burdens, and refreshes. I come, Lord! as the best I may, Take me into the band, I pray, Of those who are forgiven, Who through this blood Are just and good, And shall be bless’d in heaven. Oh! let mine eye and hand of faith This noble pledge keep without scath, Away from me ne’er casting; And let this light Lead me aright, To the light everlasting. The mansion of my soul prepare, Cast out whate’er is evil there, And build in me Thy dwelling: Thy grace so free Reveal to me, My soul with Thy love filling. All things are mine when I have Thee, Thou void of gifts canst never be; A thousand ways Thou knowest On earth to keep Thy feeble sheep; Enough Thou aye bestowest. Grant that I in my station here Thee in Thy word may ever fear, So guide what things concern me, That found in me True faith may be, And may with truth adorn me. And give me a contented mind, For when with godliness combin’d, Great gain thence ever floweth. Then what of good It pleaseth God To give, great peace bestoweth. The little that by God’s great grace The righteous as his portion has, To honour more commendeth, Than all the gold The world doth hold, And with proud spirit spendeth. The faithful, Lord, to Thee are known, Thou art their Joy, and they Thine own, To shame thou putt’st them never; Comes scarcity, Their bread from Thee They find in all lands ever. God loveth him who fears and cleaves To Him, sees that no mischance grieves, In his ways joyeth ever; And if he slide, God doth abide, Doth bless him and deliver. God’s eye is upon all who wait And hope in Him both soon and late, In all need to deliver, E’en in the hour When to devour Death threatens them for ever. Lord, Thou canst only gracious be, Thou givest all to know and see Thy goodness and Thy favour, Who with their mouth And heart in truth Own Thee their only Saviour. Make Her Thy care especially, Whom Thou as monarch hast rais’d high This land and nation over; With rest and peace The land, Lord! bless, The throne with blessings cover. Preserve, Lord! our dear native land In Thine embrace and mighty hand; Protect us all together From error’s voice, From enemies, From fire and plague deliver. All whom I love, keep every day, Let all the hosts of hell away From young and old be driven! Here, may we be In time by Thee Preserv’d, and there in heaven! Paul Gerhardt’s Spiritual Songs, 1867

John Kelly

1833 - 1890 Meter: 8.8.7.4.4.7 Translator of "For Temporal and Eternal Welfare" in Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs Kelly, John, was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, educated at Glasgow University, studied theology at Bonn, New College, Edinburgh, and the Theological College of the English Presbyterian Church (to which body he belongs) in London. He has ministered to congregations at Hebburn-on-Tyne and Streatham, and was Tract Editor of the Religious Tract Society. His translations of Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs were published in 1867. Every piece is given in full, and rendered in the metre of the originals. His Hymns of the Present Century from the German were published in 1886 by the Religious Tract Society. In these translations the metres of the originals have not always been followed, whilst some of the hymns have been abridged and others condensed. His translations lack poetic finish, but are faithful to the originals. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Kelly, John, p. 614, i. He died while on a visit to Braemar, July 19, 1890. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

Adam Reissner

1496 - 1575 Meter: 8.8.7.4.4.7 Author of "In You Lord, I Have Put My Trust" in The Presbyterian Hymnal Reissner, Adam, was born in 1496 at Mündelsheim (now Mündelheim) in Swabian Bavaria. He first studied at Wittenberg, and then, about 1521, he learned Hebrew and Greek under Johann Keuchlin. He then became private secretary to Georg von Freundsberg (who died Aug. 20, 1528), and accompanied him during the campaign in Italy, 1530-27. After the capture of Rome in 1527 he went back to Germany, and spent some time at Strassburg, where he became a friend and adherent of Caspar Schwenkfeldt. He seems to have been living at Frankfurt-am-Main in 1563, but thereafter returned to Mündelheim, where he was still living in 1572. He appears to have died there about 1575. (Koch, ii. 156; Preface to his Historia Herrn Georgen unnd Herrn Casparn von Fründsberg’s [died Aug. 31, 1536] Vatters und Sons .... Kriegesthaten, Frankfurt-am-Main, 1568. The British Museum copy is unmistakably dated on title 1568, but the preface is dated Jan. 31, 1572.) Three of Reissner's earlier hymns are in Zwick's Gesang-Buch, 1536-40. His later hymns, including a translation of the hymns of Prudentius, are collected in two manuscripts, both dated 1596 (see Teglichs Gesangbuch . . . durch Adam Reusner, and contains over 40 hymns which may be regarded as by Reissner, the rest being by other writers of the school of Schwenckfeldt. Wackernagel, vol. iii., gives Nos. 170-194 under his name. The only hymn by Reissner translated into English is:— In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr. Ps. xxxi. First published in the Form und ordnung Gaystlicher Gesang und Psalmen, Augsburg, 1533, and thence in Wackernagel, iii. p. 133, in 7 stanzas of 6 lines. It was included in V. Babst's Gesang-Buch , 1545, and repeated in almost all the German hymnbooks up to the period of Rationalism. It is one of the best Psalm-versions of the Reformation period. Included in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 629. The translation in common use is:-- In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust. A good translation, omitting st. vii., by Miss Winkworth, in her Chorale Book for England, 1863, No. 120. Other translations are:— (1) "Lord, let me never be confoundit." In the Gude and Godly Ballates, ed. 1568, f. 82; ed. 1868, p. 141. (2) "Great God! in Thee I put my Trust." By J. C. Jacobi, 1725, p. 33 (1732, p. 116). Repeated in the Moravian Hymn Book, 1754, pt. i., No. 118. (3) "Lord, I have trusted in Thy name." By Dr. H. Mills, 1856, p. 171. (4) "On Thee, O Lord, my hopes I lean." By N. L. Frothingham, 1870, p. 263. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
