Author: Benj. Prätorius Hymnal: Evang.-Lutherisches Gesangbuch #431 (1872) Lyrics: 1 Sei getreu in deinem Leiden, lasse dich kein Ungemach von der Liebe Jesu scheiden, murre nicht mit Weh und Ach. Denke, wie er manche Zeit dir zu helfen war bereit, da du ihm dein Herz verschlossen, ob ihn das nicht hab verdrossen. 2 Sei getreu in deinem Glauben, baue deiner Seelengrund nicht auf zweifelhaste Schrauben; sage den gewissen Bund, so geschlossen in der Tauf, deinem Gott nicht wieder auf; fange an ein besser leben, deinem Gott zum Dienst ergeben. 3 Sei getreu in deiner Liebe gegen Gott, der dich geliebt; an dem Nächsten Gutes übe, ob er dich gleich hart betrübt. Denke wie dein Heiland that, als er Für die Feinde bat; so mußt du verzeihen eben, soll Gott anders dir vergeben. 4 Sei getreu in deinem Hoffen; hilft Gott gleich nicht, wie du willt, er hat bald ein Mittel troffen, das dein Wünschen wir erfüllt. Hoffe fest, Gott ist schon hier, sein Herz bricht ihm gegen dir; hoffe nur, Gott ist vorbanden, Hoffnung macht dich nicht zu Schanden. 5 Sei getreu in Todesnöthen, fechte frisch den letzten Zug: sollt dich gleich der Herr auch töbten, das ist ja der letzte Druck. Wer da recht mit Jesu ringt, und wie Jakob ihn bezwingt, der gewißlich auch obsieget, und die LebensKrone krieget. 6 Sei getreu bis an das Ende, daure redlich aus den Kampf, leidest du gleich harte Stände, duldest du gleich manchen Dampf; ist das Leiden dieser Zeit doch nicht werth der Herrlichkeit, so dir wird dein Jesus geben dort in jenem Freudenleben. 7 Ei wohlan! so will ich leiden, glauben, lieben, hoffen fest, und getreu sein bis zum Scheiden, weil mein Jesus nicht verläßt den, der ihn beständig liebt, und im Kreuze sich ergiebt. Ihm befehl ich meine Sachen, Jesus wird's zuletzt wohl machen. Topics: Vom christlichen Leben Heilgungslieder; Christian Life Healing Ceremony Songs Languages: German

Johann Caspar Schade

1666 - 1698 Person Name: Schade Author of "Sei getreu in deinem Leiden" in Gesangbuch für deutsche Gemeinden Schade, Johann Caspar, son of Jakob Schad or Schade, pastor and decan at Kühndorf, near Suhl, in Thuriugia, was born at Kühndorf, Jan. 18, 1666. He entered the University of Leipzig in 1685 (where he became a great friend of A. H. Francke), and then went to Wittenberg, where he graduated M.A. in 1687. On his return to Leipzig he began to hold Bible readings for the students. This soon raised ill-will against him among the Leipzig professors, and when, in 1690, he was invited to become diaconus at Würzen, near Leipzig, they interfered and prevented his settlement. In 1691 he was invited to become diaconus of St. Nicholas's church, at Berlin (where P. J. Spener had just become probst, or chief pastor), and entered on his work there on the 2nd Sunday in Advent. In his later years he raised a storm of feeling against himself by refusing to hear private confessions. The Elector of Brandenburg, in order to end the strife, appointed him, in June 1698, pastor at Derenburg, near Halberstadt. Meantime he was seized with a fever, which ended fatally at Berlin, July 25, 1698 (Koch, iv. 222, 468; Wetzel, iii. p. 23, &c). Schade was a most earnest and faithful pastor and preacher, and specially interested himself in the children of his flock. As a hymnwriter he was not particularly prolific, but of his 45 hymns a good many passed into the German hymnbooks of the period. His hymns are clear and simple in style, are composed in a considerable variety of metres, and are full of fervent love to the Lord Jesus, and of zeal for a living and practical Christianity; but they are frequently spun out, or are too subjective. A number appeared in A. Luppius's Andächtig singender Christenmund Wosel, 1692-94, and in the Geistreiches Gesang-Buch, Halle, 1697. They were collected and posthumously published as Fasciculus Cantionum, Das ist zusammen getragene geistliche Lieder, &c, Cüstrin, N.D. [1699]. Those of Schade's hymns which have passed into English are:— i. Auf! Hinauf! zu deiner Freude. Faith. First published in the Geistreiches Gesang-Buch, Halle, 1697, p. 402, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines; repeated in 1699, as above, p. 83. Recently, as No. 403, in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen 1851. The translations in common use are:— 1. Up! yes upward to thy gladness Rise, my heart. This is a good and full translation by Miss Winkworth, in her Lyra Germanica, 2nd Ser., 1858, p. 171, repeated in full in Reid's Praise Book, 1872, and, omitting st. v., in Kennedy, 1863. In her Chorale Book for England, 1863, No. 157, it is slightly altered, and st. iii. is omitted. 2. Rise, my soul! with joy and gladness. A translation of st. i., ii., vi., by F. C. C, as No. 233 in Dr. Pagenstecher's Collection, 1864. Other translations are:— (1) "Look up, my soul, to Christ thy joy," by J. B. Holmes, as No. 1099 in the Supplement of 1808 to the Moravian Hymn Book, 1801 (1886, No. 600), repeated in Bishop Kyle's Collection, 1860. (2) "Upwards, upwards to thy gladness," by Miss Dunn, 1857, p. 13. (3) "Up! yes upward to thy gladness, Rise, my soul," by W. Reid in his Praise Book, 1872. ii. Heine Seel ermuntre dich. Passiontide. In the Geistreiches Gesang-Buch, Halle, 1697, p. 215, in 15 stanzas of 6 lines, repeated in 1699, as above, p. 9, entitled "Contemplation of the suffering of Christ and surrender of His will." In the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 106. Tr. as, "Rouse thyself, my Soul, and dwell." In the Supplement to German Psalmody , ed. 1765, p. 20, and in Select Hymns from German Psalmody, Tranquebar, 1754, p. 31. iii. Meine Seele willt du ruhn. This hymn, frequently ascribed to Schade, is noted under Scheffler. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Benjamin Praetorius

1636 - 1674 Author of "Sei getreu in deinem Leiden" Prätorius, Benjamin, son of Andreas Prätorius, pastor at Obergreieslau near Weissenfels in Saxony, was born at Obergreisslau, January 1, 1636. In 1637. his father was appointed pastor at Gross-Lissa near Delitzsch, in Saxony. Benjamin became a student of theology, and giaduated M.A., probably at Leipzig. In the entry of his marriage in the registers of Gross-Lista, for 1657, he is described as "regularly ordained substitute and future successor of this parish": and he is never described in the registers except as Pastor-substitute. His ninth child was born in 1671, and on Jan. 8, 1675, his son Andreas Benjamin, on acting as godfather, is described as “surviving son" of M. Benjamin Prätorius. It is probable that he died some time in 1674, but as the register of deaths of this period is lost, we are unable to fix the exact date (K. Goedeke's Grundriss, vol. iii., 1887, p. 176; manuscript from Pastor Moebius of Gross-Lissa, &c). According to Wetzel, ii., 314, he was crowned as a poet on Feb. 15, 1661. In the registers for 1663 he first designs himself "poëta Caes." and "Kais. gekrönter Poëta" (i.e. imperial crowned poet), and in 1670 as "poëta Caes. laur. coronatus." His hymns appeared in his (1) Jauchtzendes Libanon, Leipzig, 1659, and (2) Spielende Myrten-Aue, Leipzig, 1663. In the preface to the latter he signs himself as "C. P. Caes. und Diener am Wort daselbst" (minister of the Word), under date “Gross-Lissa, Dec. 24, 1663." The only hymn by him translated into English is:— Sei getreu bis an das Ende. The Reward of the Faithful. In 1659, as above, No. 64, p. 15?, in 9 stanzas of 8 lines, and founded on Rev. ii. 10. In full in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 339. It is also often found as "Sei getreu in deinem Leiden," as in the Berlin Geistliche Lieder, ed. 1863, No. 749. This is from Luppius' sGesang-Buch, Wesel, 1692, p. 22, where it is in 7 stanzas (iv., ii., iii., v., ix., i. and a new stanza which begins, "So wohlan, so will ich leiden"), and is erroneously ascribed to J. C. Schade. The original form is tr. as:— Be thou faithful to the end, Let not. By Miss Warner, in her Hymns of the Church Militant, 1858, p. 362, repeated as No. 255, in Bishop Ryle's Collection, 1860. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
