ST. THEODULPH
O how shall I receive Thee
Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #157 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee,
How meet Thee on Thy way;
Blest hope of every nation,
My soul's delight and stay?
Jesus, Jesus, give me,
By Thine illuming light,
To know whate'er is pleasing
And welcome in Thy sight.
2 Thy Zion palms is strewing,
And branches fresh and fair;
And every soul awaking,
Her anthem shall prepare;
Perpetual thanks and praises
Forth from our hearts shall spring;
And to Thy name the service
Of all our powers we bring.
3 O ye who sorrow, sinking
Beneath your grief and pain,
Rejoice in His appearing,
Who shall your souls sustain:
He comes, He come with gladness!
How great is His good-will!
He comes, all grief and anguish
Shall at His word be still.
4 Ye who with guilty terror
Are trembling, fear no more:
With love and grace the Savior
Shall you to hope restore;
He comes, who contrite sinners
Will with the children place,
The children of His Father,
The heirs of life and grace.
5 He comes, the Lord, to judgment;
Woe, woe to them who hate!
To those who love and seek Him
He opes the heavenly gate.
Come quickly, gracious Savior,
And gather us to Thee,
That in the light eternal
Our joyous home may be.

how meet thee on thy way,

in love, all love excelling,
our troubled human race.
3 Thou comest, Christ, with gladness,
in mercy and goodwill,

and bid our fears be still.

come gather us to thee,
that in thy light eternal
our joyous home may be. Topics: Darkness and Light; Hope; Incarnation; Liberation Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Tune Title: ST. THEODULPH (VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN)
Oh, How Shall I Receive Thee
O How Shall I Receive Thee
Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #78 (1927) Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee,
How greet Thee, Lord, aright?
All nations long to see Thee,
My Hope, my heart's Delight!
O kindle, Lord most holy,
Thy fire within my breast,
To do in spirit lowly
All that may please Thee best.
2 Thy Zion palms is strewing,
And branches fresh and fair;
My heart, its pow'rs renewing,
An anthem shall prepare.
My soul puts off her sadness
Thy glory to proclaim;
With all her strength and gladness
She fain would serve Thy name.
3 I lay in fetters groaning,
Thou com'st to set me free;
I stood, my shame bemoaning,
Thou com'st to honor me.
A glory Thou dost give me,
A treasure safe on high,
That will not fail nor leave me,
As earthly riches fly.
4 Love caused Thine incarnation,
Love brought Thee down to me;
Thy thirst for my salvation
Procur'd my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race!
5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted,
Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o'er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom:
He who alone can cheer you
Is standing at the door;
He brings His pity near you,
And bids you weep no more. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: [O how shall I receive Thee]

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
1809 - 1847 Person Name: Mendelssohn Harmonizer of "MUNICH" in The Riverdale Hymn Book 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.

Hans Leo Hassler
1564 - 1612 Person Name: H. L. Hasler Composer of "O SACRED HEAD, NOW WOUNDED" in Christian Hymns Hans Leo Hassler Germany 1564-1612. Born at Nuremberg, Germany, he came from a family of famous musicians and received early education from his father. He then studied in Venice, Italy, with Andrea Gabrieli, uncle of Giovanni Gabrieli, his friend, with whom he composed a wedding motet. The uncle taught him to play the organ. He learned the polychoral style and took it back to Germany after Andrea Gabrieli's death. He served as organist and composer for Octavian Fugger, the princely art patron of Augsburg (1585-1601). He was a prolific composer but found his influence limited, as he was Protestant in a still heavily Catholic region. In 1602 he became director of town music and organist in the Frauenkirche in Nuremberg until 1608. He married Cordula Claus in 1604. He was finally court musician for the Elector of Saxony in Dresden, Germany, evenually becoming Kapellmeister (1608-1612). A Lutheran, he composed both for Roman Catholic liturgy and for Lutheran churches. He produced two volumns of motets, a famous collection of court songs, and a volume of simpler hymn settings. He published both secular and religious music, managing to compose much for the Catholic church that was also usable in Lutheran settings. He was also a consultant to organ builders. In 1596 he, with 53 other organists, had the opportunity to examine a new instrument with 59 stops at the Schlosskirche, Groningen. He was recognized for his expertise in organ design and often was called on to examine new instruments. He entered the world of mechanical instrument construction, developing a clockwork organ that was later sold to Emperor Rudolf II. He died of tuberculosis in Frankfurt, Germany.

He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
