I know whom I believe in
Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Appears in 9 hymnals Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in,
I know what firm abides,
When all around me fading
Away like vapor glides.
I know what lasts forever,
When all things shake and fall,
When wit the wise forsaketh,
And craft doth craft forestall.
2 It is the Light of Glory;
It is my Jesus, King;
It is the Rock I stand on;
It is of this I sing.
He never more shall fail me,
Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine,
He lighteth all my darkness,
He makes my path to shine.
3 He whom blood-stained they buried
In the still twilight hour,
He whom God waked from slumber,
He who arose in power:
He for my guilt atoneth,
To me His Spirit gives,
Me with His grace He crowneth:
I live because He lives.
4 I know what I believe in,
I know what standeth fast,
And what, when earth shall crumble,
Uncrumbled, still shall last;
Through sorrow it bides with me,
Mine when to death I bow,
In heaven it will assure me
A crown to deck my brow. Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; First Sunday after Easter; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity; Third Sunday of Advent Used With Tune: WEBB (Goodwin)

Ernst Moritz Arndt
1769 - 1860 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Author of "I Know Whom I Believe In" in American Lutheran Hymnal Arndt, Ernst Moritz, son of Ludwig Nicolaus Arndt, estate manager for Count Putbus, in the island of Rugen, was b. at Schoritz in Rugen, Dec. 26, 1769. After studying at the Universities of Greifswald and Jena, where he completed his theological course under Paulus, he preached for two years as a candidate, but in 1798 abandoned theology. After a pedestrian tour through South Germany, Hungary, Northern Italy, France, and Belgium, he became, at Easter 1800, lecturer at the University of Greifswald, and in 1805 professor of history there. But in 1806, lamenting over the tyranny of France, he wrote his fiery Gent der Zeit (pt. ii. 1809, iii. 1813, iv. 1818) which awakened the patriotism of his countrymen, but drew on him the hatred of Napoleon, so that he had to flee to Sweden, and was not able to return to Greifswald till 1810. He again left Greifswald in 1812, and found a home with Baron v. Stein at St. Petersburg. After various wanderings, daring which he wrote many pamphlets inciting his countrymen, as none else could, to deeds of valour, and composed his well-known songs (all of date 1813),
" Der Gott, der Eisen wachsen Hess.
O du Deutschland, ich muss marscbieren.
Was blasen die Trompeten?
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland ?"
which were said to have done more to inspire the troops than a victory wou, he settled for some time at Cologne as editor of a patriotic newspaper. In 1818 he was appointed professor of history in the newly-founded University of Bonn, Being accused by the Conservative leaders then in power of teaching Republicanism, he was, in 1820, unjustly deposed (though his salary was continued to him), and was not restored till the accession of Friedrich Wilhelm IV. to the throne of Prussia in 1840. In token of respect he was elected Rector of the University 1840-1841, and lectured as professor till 1854. He continued his tranquil life at Bonn, varied by delusive hopes of better things from the Revolutionary periods of 1848 and 1859, till after having passed his ninety-first birthday (when he received some three hundred messages of congratulation which he personally answered) he departed (o the Heavenly Fatherland, Jan. 29,1860.A man of learning, a true patriot, a distinguished poet, and a man greatly revered and beloved of the people, he was a worthy modern representative of the "old Arndt," author of the True Christianity; a man of deep religious feeling, and a true-hearted and earnest witness for the Evangelical Faith. By his well-known Von dem Wort und von dem Kirchenliede, Bonn, 1819, he was one of the prime movers in the reaction which has now rescued most of the German lands from the incubus of xviii. cent. Rationalistic hymn-books. To this pamphlet he annexed 33 hymns, his best known. Of the remaining 50 some 37 appeared in his Geistliche Lieder, Berlin, 1855, and the rest in the Frankfurt, 1818, and later editions of his Gedichte—the so-called complete edition of which, pub. at Berlin 1860, contains 427 secular and sacred pieces, ranging from 1787 to 1859, with a preface dated in Christmas week 1859.
