Ich singe dir mit Herz und Mund
Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Antwort Finden in alten und neuen Liedern, in Worten zum Nachdenken und Beten #324 (2014) Lyrics: 1 Ich singe dir mit Herz und Mund,
Herr, meines Herzens Lust;
ich sing und mach auf Erden kund,
was mir von dir bewußt.
2 Ich weiß, daß du der Brunn der Gnad
und ewge Quelle bist,
daraus uns allen früh und spat
viel Heil und Gutes fließt.
3 Was sind wir doch? Was haben wir
auf dieser ganzen Erd,
das uns, o Vater, nicht von dir
allein gegeben werd?
4 Wer hat das schöne Himmelszelt
hoch über uns gesetzt?
Wer ist es, der uns unser Feld
mit Tau und Regen netzt?
5 Wer wärmet uns in Kält und Frost?
Wer schützt uns vor dem Wind?
Wer macht es, daß man Öl und Most
zu seinen Zeiten find't?
6 Wer gibt uns Leben und Geblüt?
Wer hält mit seiner Hand
den güldnen, werten, edlen Fried
in unserm Vaterland?
7 Ach Herr, mein Gott, das kommt von dir,
du, du mußt alles tun,
du hältst die Wach an unsrer Tür
und läßt uns sicher ruhn.
8 Du nährest uns von Jahr zu Jahr,
bleibst immer fromm und treu
und stehst uns, wenn wir in Gefahr
geraten, treulich bei.
9 Du strafst uns Sünder mit Geduld
und schlägst nicht allzusehr,
ja endlich nimmst du unsre Schuld
und wirfst sie in das Meer.
10 Wenn unser Herze seufzt und schreit,
wirst du gar leicht erweicht
und gibst uns, was uns hoch erfreut
und dir zur Ehr gereicht.
11 Du zählst, wie oft ein Christe wein
und was sein Kummer sei;
kein Zähr- und Tränlein ist so klein,
du hebst und legst es bei.
12 Du füllst des Lebens Mangel aus
mit dem, was ewig steht,
und führst uns in des Himmels Haus,
wenn uns die Erd entgeht.
13 Wohlauf, mein Herze, sing und spring
und habe guten Mut!
Dein Gott, der Ursprung aller Ding,
ist selbst und bleibt dein Gut.
14 Er ist dein Schatz, dein Erb und Teil,
dein Glanz und Freudenlicht,
dein Schirm und Schild, dein Hilf und Heil,
schafft Rat und läßt dich nicht.
15 Was kränkst du dich in deinem Sinn
und grämst dich Tag und Nacht?
Nimm deine Sorg und wirf sie hin
auf den, der dich gemacht.
16 Hat er dich nicht von Jugend auf
versorget und ernährt?
Wie manches schweren Unglücks Lauf
hat er zurückgekehrt!
17 Er hat noch niemals was versehn
in seinem Regiment,
nein, was er tut und läßt geschehn,
das nimmt ein gutes End.
18 Ei nun, so laß ihn ferner tun
und red ihm nicht darein,
so wirst du hier im Frieden ruhn
und ewig fröhlich sein.

Johann Crüger
1598 - 1662 Composer of "[Ich singe dir mit Herz und Mund]" in Glaubenslieder Johann Crüger (b. Grossbriesen, near Guben, Prussia, Germany, 1598; d. Berlin, Germany, 1662) Crüger attended the Jesuit College at Olmutz and the Poets' School in Regensburg, and later studied theology at the University of Wittenberg. He moved to Berlin in 1615, where he published music for the rest of his life. In 1622 he became the Lutheran cantor at the St. Nicholas Church and a teacher for the Gray Cloister. He wrote music instruction manuals, the best known of which is Synopsis musica (1630), and tirelessly promoted congregational singing. With his tunes he often included elaborate accompaniment for various instruments. Crüger's hymn collection, Neues vollkomliches Gesangbuch (1640), was one of the first hymnals to include figured bass accompaniment (musical shorthand) with the chorale melody rather than full harmonization written out. It included eighteen of Crüger's tunes. His next publication, Praxis Pietatis Melica (1644), is considered one of the most important collections of German hymnody in the seventeenth century. It was reprinted forty-four times in the following hundred years. Another of his publications, Geistliche Kirchen Melodien (1649), is a collection arranged for four voices, two descanting instruments, and keyboard and bass accompaniment. Crüger also published a complete psalter, Psalmodia sacra (1657), which included the Lobwasser translation set to all the Genevan tunes.

===============================
Crüger, Johann, was born April 9, 1598, at Gross-Breese, near Guben, Brandenburg. After passing through the schools at Guben, Sorau and Breslau, the Jesuit College at Olmütz, and the Poets' school at Regensburg, he made a tour in Austria, and, in 1615, settled at Berlin. There, save for a short residence at the University of Wittenberg, in 1620, he employed himself as a private tutor till 1622. In 1622 he was appointed Cantor of St. Nicholas's Church at Berlin, and also one of the masters of the Greyfriars Gymnasium. He died at Berlin Feb. 23, 1662. Crüger wrote no hymns, although in some American hymnals he appears as "Johann Krüger, 1610,” as the author of the supposed original of C. Wesley's "Hearts of stone relent, relent" (q.v.). He was one of the most distinguished musicians of his time. Of his hymn tunes, which are generally noble and simple in style, some 20 are still in use, the best known probably being that to "Nun danket alle Gott" (q.v.), which is set to No. 379 in Hymns Ancient & Modern, ed. 1875. His claim to notice in this work is as editor and contributor to several of the most important German hymnological works of the 16th century, and these are most conveniently treated of under his name. (The principal authorities on his works are Dr. J. F. Bachmann's Zur Geschichte der Berliner Gesangbücher 1857; his Vortrag on P. Gerhard, 1863; and his edition of Gerhardt's Geistliche Lieder, 1866. Besides these there are the notices in Bode, and in R. Eitner's Monatshefte für Musik-Geschichte, 1873 and 1880). These works are:—
1. Newes vollkömmliches Gesangbuch, Augspur-gischer Confession, &c, Berlin, 1640 [Library of St. Nicholas's Church, Berlin], with 248 hymns, very few being published for the first time.
2. Praxis pietatis melica. Das ist: Ubung der Gottseligkeit in Christlichen und trostreichen Gesängen. The history of this, the most important work of the century, is still obscure. The 1st edition has been variously dated 1640 and 1644, while Crüger, in the preface to No. 3, says that the 3rd edition appeared in 1648. A considerable correspondence with German collectors and librarians has failed to bring to light any of the editions which Koch, iv. 102, 103, quotes as 1644, 1647, 1649, 1650, 1651, 1652, 1653. The imperfect edition noted below as probably that of 1648 is the earliest Berlin edition we have been able to find. The imperfect edition, probably ix. of 1659, formerly in the hands of Dr. Schneider of Schleswig [see Mützell, 1858, No. 264] was inaccessible. The earliest perfect Berlin edition we have found is 1653.
The edition printed at Frankfurt in 1656 by Caspar Röteln was probably a reprint of a Berlin edition, c. 1656. The editions printed at Frankfurt-am-Main by B. C. Wust (of which the 1666 is in the preface described as the 3rd) are in considerable measure independent works.
In the forty-five Berlin and over a dozen Frankfurt editions of this work many of the hymns of P. Gerhardt, J. Franck, P. J. Spener, and others, appear for the first time, and therein also appear many of the best melodies of the period.
3. Geistliche Kirchen-Melodien, &c, Leipzig, 1649 [Library of St. Katherine's Church, Brandenburg]. This contains the first stanzas only of 161 hymns, with music in four vocal and two instrumental parts. It is the earliest source of the first stanzas of various hymns by Gerhardt, Franck, &c.
4. D. M. Luther's und anderer vornehmen geisU reichen und gelehrten Manner Geistliche Lieder und Psalmen, &c, Berlin, 1653 [Hamburg Town Library], with 375 hymns. This was edited by C. Runge, the publisher, and to it Crüger contributed some 37 melodies. It was prepared at the request of Luise Henriette (q.v.), as a book for the joint use of the Lutherans and the Re¬formed, and is the earliest source of the hymns ascribed to her, and of the complete versions of many hymns by Gerhardt and Franck.
5. Psalmodia Sacra, &c, Berlin, 1658 [Royal Library, Berlin]. The first section of this work is in an ed. of A. Lobwasser's German Psalter; the second, with a similar title to No. 4, and the date 1657, is practically a recast of No. 4,146 of those in 1653 being omitted, and the rest of the 319 hymns principally taken from the Praxis of 1656 and the hymn-books of the Bohemian Brethren. New eds. appeared in 1676, 1700, 1704, 1711, and 1736.

Oliver Holden
1765 - 1844 Composer of "[Ich singe dir mit Herz und Mund]" in Evangelisches Gesangbuch Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:—
1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain.
2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808.
3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Person Name: Wilson Composer of "[Ich singe dir mit Herz und Mund]" in Die Glaubensharfe (With Melodies) Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
