Bei dir, Jesu, will ich bleiben

Author: Philipp Spitta Hymnal: Antwort Finden in alten und neuen Liedern, in Worten zum Nachdenken und Beten #406 (2014) Lyrics: 1 Bei dir, Jesus, will ich bleiben, stets in deinem Dienste stehn; nichts soll mich von dir vertreiben, will auf deinen Wegen gehn. Du bist meines Lebens Leben, meiner Seele Trieb und Kraft, wie der Weinstock seinen Reben zuströmt Kraft und Lebenssaft. 2 Könnt ich's irgend besser haben als bei dir, der allezeit so viel tausend Gnadengaben für mich Armen hat bereit? Könnt ich je getroster werden als bei dir, Herr Jesu Christ, dem im Himmel und auf Erden alle Macht gegeben ist? 3 Wo ist solch ein Herr zu finden, der, was Jesus tat, mir tut: mich erkauft von Tod und Sünden mit dem eignen teuren Blut? Sollt ich dem nicht angehören, der sein Leben für mich gab, sollt ich ihm nicht Treue schwören, Treue bis in Tod und Grab? 4 Ja, Herr Jesu, bei dir bleib ich so in Freude wie in Leid; bei dir bleib ich, dir verschreib ich mich für Zeit und Ewigkeit. Deines Winks bin ich gewärtig, auch des Rufs aus dieser Welt; denn der ist zum Sterben fertig, der sich lebend zu dir hält. 5 Bleib mir nah auf dieser Erden, bleib auch, wenn mein Tag sich neigt, wenn es nun will Abend werden und die Nacht herniedersteigt. Lege segnend dann die Hände mir aufs müde, schwache Haupt, sprich: "Mein Kind, hier geht's zu Ende; aber dort lebt, wer hier glaubt." 6 Bleib mir dann zur Seite stehen, graut mir vor dem kalten Tod als dem kühlen, scharfen Wehen vor dem Himmelsmorgenrot. Wird mein Auge dunkler, trüber, dann erleuchte meinen Geist, daß ich fröhlich zieh hinüber, wie man nach der Heimat reist.

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Person Name: H. Smart Composer of "[Bei dir, Jesu, will ich bleiben]" in Jugendharfe Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known). Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporiza­tions and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for impor­tant places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861). Bert Polman

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
