Hymnal: Kleines Gesang- und Gebetbuch #70 (1940) Lyrics: 1 Die Sach ist dein, Herr Jesu Christ,
die Sach, an der wir stehn,
und weil es deine Sache ist,
kann sie nicht untergehn.
Allein das Weizenkorn, davor
es fruchtbar sproßt zum Licht empor,
wir sterbend in der Erde Schooß
vor der vom eignen Wesen los,
im Steben los,
vom eigne Wesen los.
2 Da gingest jesu, unser Haupt,
Durch Leiden himmelan,
Und führest jeden, der da glaubt,
Mit dir die gleiche Bahn.
Wohlan, so führ uns allzugleich
Zum Theil am leiden und am Reich;
Führ uns durch deines todes Thor
Sammt deiner Sach zum Licht empor!
Zum Licht empor,
Durch deines todes Thor. Languages: German Tune Title: [Die Sach ist dein, Herr Jesu Christ]

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz J. Haydn, 1732-1809 Composer of "DIE SACH' IST DEIN" in The Mennonite Hymnary, published by the Board of Publication of the General Conference of the Mennonite Church of North America Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.

Michael Haydn
1737 - 1806 Person Name: Johann Michael Haydn Composer of "[Die Sach ist Dein, Herr Jesus Christ]" in Glaubenslieder Johann Michael Haydn Austria 1737-1806. Born at Rohrau, Austria, the son of a wheelwright and town mayor (a very religious man who also played the harp and was a great influence on his sons' religious thinking), and the younger brother of Franz Joseph Haydn, he became a choirboy in his youth at the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna, as did his brother, Joseph, an exceptional singer. For that reason boys both were taken into the church choir. Michael was a brighter student than Joseph, but was expelled from music school when his voice broke at age 17. The brothers remained close all their lives, and Joseph regarded Michael's religious works superior to his own. Michael played harpsichord, violin, and organ, earning a precarious living as a freelance musician in his early years. In 1757 he became kapellmeister to Archbishop, Sigismund of Grosswardein, in Hungary, and in 1762 concertmaster to Archbishop, Hieronymous of Salzburg, where he remained the rest of his life (over 40 years), also assuming the duties of organist at the Church of St. Peter in Salzburg, presided over by the Benedictines. He also taught violin at the court. He married the court singer, Maria Magdalena Lipp in 1768, daughter of the cathedral choir-master, who was a very pious women, and had such an affect on her husband, trending his inertia and slothfulness into wonderful activity. They had one daughter, Aloysia Josepha, in 1770, but she died within a year. He succeeded Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, an intimate friend, as cathedral organist in 1781. He also taught music to Carl Maria von Weber. His musical reputation was not recognized fully until after World War II. He was a prolific composer of music, considered better than his well-known brother at composing religious works. He produced some 43 symphonies,12 concertos, 21 serenades, 6 quintets, 19 quartets, 10 trio sonatas, 4 due sonatas, 2 solo sonatas, 19 keyboard compositions, 3 ballets, 15 collections of minuets (English and German dances), 15 marches and miscellaneous secular music. He is best known for his religious works (well over 400 pieces), which include 47 antiphons, 5 cantatas, 65 canticles, 130 graduals, 16 hymns, 47 masses, 7 motets, 65 offertories, 7 oratorios, 19 Psalms settings, 2 requiems, and 42 other compositions. He also composed 253 secular vocals of various types. He did not like seeing his works in print, and kept most in manuscript form. He never compiled or cataloged his works, but others did it later, after his death. Lothar Perger catalogued his orchestral works in 1807 and Nikolaus Lang did a biographical sketch in 1808. In 1815 Anton Maria Klafsky cataloged his sacred music. More complete cataloging has been done in the 1980s and 1990s by Charles H Sherman and T Donley Thomas. Several of Michael Haydn's works influenced Mozart. Haydn died at Salzburg, Austria.

S. Preiswerk
1799 - 1871 Person Name: Samuel Preiswerk, 1799-1871 Author (v. 1 and 2) of "Die Sach ist Dein, Herr Jesus Christ" in Glaubenslieder Preiswerk, Samuel, son of Alexander Preiswerk, pastor at Rümlingen, in the canton of Basel, was born at Rümlingen, Sept. 19, 1799. After studying at the Universities of Basel, Tübingen, and Erlangen, he was for some time curate in charge at Benken, in the canton of Basel. In 1824 he was appointed preacher at the Basel Orphanage, and in 1829 tutor of Hebrew at the Basel mission house. In 1830 he was chosen as pastor of Muttenz, near Basel, but on the outbreak of the Revolution of 1832 had to leave. After being from 1834 to 1837 professor of Old Testament Exegesis and Oriental languages in the Evangelical Theological Institution at Geneva, he returned to Basel, where he was instituted, in 1843, as pastor of St. Leonard's church, and in 1859 as antistes, or highest dignitary in the Cathedral. He died at Basel, Jan. 13, 1871 (0. Kraus, 1879, p. 400; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographiexxvi. 552, &c).
Preiswerk was a distinguished preacher. He was one of the editors of the Basel Gesang-Buch, 1854. His hymns were written at various times, generally to be used at Mission and other meetings in which he was to take part. Sixteen were included in a collection edited by two of his friends and published at Basel, 1844, as the Evangelischer Lieder Kranz (271 hymns old and new). Nine of his hymns are in Knapp's Evanglischer Lieder-Schatz, ed. 1850.
The only one translation into English is:—
Das ist der Gemeine Starke. Missions. In 1844, as above, No. 98, p. 124, in 5 stanzas of 4lines. Included in Knapp's Evanglischer Lieder-Schatz, 1850, No. 1160 (1865, No. 1200). Translated as:—
Hark, the Church proclaims her honour. In full by Miss Winkworth in her Lyra Germanica, 2nd ser., 1858, p. 59, and her Chorale Book for England, 1863, No. 104 (she misquotes the first line as Dies ist der Gemeinde Stärke). Repeated in the Psalms & Hymns, Bedford, 1859, and the Ohio Lutheran Hymnal, 1880. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
