Baptized into Your Name Most Holy

Author: Johann J. Rambach; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Hymnal Title: Trinity Psalter Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Baptized into your name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, tho' weak and lowly, among your seed, your chosen host. Buried with Christ and dead to sin: your Spirit e'er shall live within. 2 My loving Father, me you've taken fore'er to be your child and heir; my faithful Savior, me you've given your righteous, holy life to share; O Holy Spirit, you will be a comfort, guide, and help to me. 3 And I have vowed to fear and love you, and to obey you, Lord, alone; because the Holy Spirit moved me, I dared to pledge myself your own, renouncing sin to keep the faith and war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, your word fails never, your cov'nant surely will abide; oh, cast me not away forever, should I transgress it on my side! Though I have oft my soul defiled, in love forgive, restore your child. 5 Yes, all I am and love most dearly I offer now, O Lord, to you. Oh, let me make my vows sincerely, and what I say, help me to do. Let naught within me, naught I own, serve any will but yours alone. 6 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but keep me faithful to your altar, till you shall call me from my post. So unto you I live and die and praise you evermore on high.

C. H. Dretzel

1697 - 1775 Person Name: K. H. Dretzel, 1697-1775 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Composer of "O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE" in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Born: (baptised).September 18, 1697 - Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany Died: May 7, 1755 - Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany The German composer, organist and musicographer, Cornelius Heinrich Dretzel, was a grandson of Georg Dretzel (c1610-after 1676; organist of St Michael, Schwäbisch Hall) and nephew of Valentin, the most important member of the family. A possible student of Johann Pachelbel's eldest son, C.H. Dretzel also studied with J.S. Bach in Weimar in 1716-1717. He appears to have spent his whole life in Nuremberg, his hometown, in various organists' posts: Frauenkirche, St Lorenz (from 1743) and St Sebald. Cornelius Heinrich Dretzel's keyboard counterpoints and fugues were his forte having thoroughly emersed himself in the works of J. S. Bach. His reputation as a virtuoso player and contrapuntist is supported by his solo harpsichord concerto, Harmonische Ergötzung, influenced by J.S. Bach's Italian Concerto (BWV 971). Indeed Harmonische Ergötzung was long thought to be composed by J.S. Bach. An early version of the slow movement was entered into Schmeider as BWV 897:1. C.H. Dretzel's own "divertimenti" were thought to be lost until they were found in a collection that had belonged to Haydn. Of hymnological importance is his collection and commentary Des evangelishen Zions musicalische Harmonie (1731), which contains over 900 melodies, suspended over a continuous bass, most appealing in print for the first time in their local versions; the preface discusses the origin and development of the chorale. --www.bach-cantatas.com/L
