He who in the manger lay, Watched by gentle mother’s eyes, Lives and reigns beyond the skies. "Christ the Lord is ris’n today!" Each to other gladly say! Shout, ye happy ones, and sing, Let the earth with music ring! Shout, ye happy ones and sing, Let the earth with music ring! 2 Bring the roses’ rich perfume, Bring the garden’s gladdest bloom, Bring the lilies’ saintly white, Emblems of the soul’s delight— Emblems of the spirit’s glow, We, like Mary, soon may know, When our Master’s voice we hear Speak our name in accents clear. When our Master’s voice we hear Speak our name in accents clear. 3 O the mansions Christ prepares, Where for each He looks and cares! O the garden blooming bright, Where His glory is the light! Here His love is perfect peace, There His love shall never cease! Sing, ye children, sing and say, "Christ the Lord is ris’n today." Sing, ye children, sing and say, "Christ the Lord is ris’n today."

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Ph. D. Composer of "MENDELSSOHN" in Gloria Deo Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman
