Jesu, Jesu, Brunn des Lebens

Author: Hieronymus Annoni, 1697-1770 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #399 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Jesu, Brunn des Lebens, Stell, ach stell Dich bei uns ein! Dass wir jetzund nicht vergebens Wirken und beisammen sein. Du verheissest ja den Deinen, Dass Du wollest Wunder tun, Und in ihnen willst erscheinen, Ach, erfüll´s, erfüll´s auch nun! 2 Herr, wir tragen Deinen Namen, Herr, wir sind auf Dich getauft, Und Du hast zu Deinem Samen Uns mit Deinem Blut erkauft. O, so lass uns Dich erkennen, Komm, erkläre selbst Dein Wort, Dass wir Dich recht Meister nennen, Und Dir dienen immerfort. 3 Bist Du mitten unter denen, Welche sich nach Deinem Heil Mit vereintem Seufzen sehnen, O, so sei auch unser Teil! Lehr uns singen, lehr uns beten, Hauch uns an mit Deinem Geist, Dass wir vor den Vater treten, Wie es kindlich ist und heisst. 4 Sammle die zerstreuten Sinnen, Stör die Flatterhaftigkeit, Lass uns Licht und Kraft gewinnen, Zu der Christen Wesenheit. O Du Haupt der rechten Glieder! Nimm auch uns zu solchen an; Bring das Abgewich'ne wieder Auf die frohe Himmelsbahn! 5 Gieb uns Augen, gieb uns Ohren, Gieb uns Herzen, die Dir gleich, Mach uns redlich neugeboren, Herr, zu Deinem Himmelreich! Ach ja! lehr uns Christen werden, Christen, die ein Licht der Welt, Christen, die ein Salz der Erden; Ach ja, Herr, wie's Dir gefällt!

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Beethoven Composer of "[Jesu, Brunn des ew'gen Lebens]" in Die Glaubensharfe (With Melodies) A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.

John J. Overholt

1918 - 2000 Arranger of "GREENVILLE NEW" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 John J. Overholt was born to an Amish family of limited means in the state of Ohio in 1918. As a child he was soon introduced to his father's personal collection of gospel songs and hymns, which was to have a marked influence on his later life. With his twin brother Joe, he early was exposed to the Amish-Mennonite tradition hymn-singing and praising worship. An early career in Christian service led to a two-year period of relief work in the country of Poland following World War II. During that interim he began to gather many European songs and hymns as a personal hobby, not realizing that these selections would become invaluable to The Christian Hymnary which was begun in 1960 and completed twelve years later in 1972, with a compilation of 1000 songs, hymns and chorales. (The largest Menn. hymnal). A second hymnal was begun simultaneously in the German language entitled Erweckungs Lieder Nr.1 which was brought to completion in 1986. This hymnal has a total of 200 selections with a small addendum of English hymns. Mr. Overholt married in 1965 to an accomplished soprano Vera Marie Sommers, who was not to be outdone by her husband's creativity and compiled a hymnal of 156 selections entitled Be Glad and Sing, directed to children and youth and first printed in 1986. During this later career of hymn publishing, Mr. Overholt also found time for Gospel team work throughout Europe. At this writing he is preparing for a 5th consecutive tour which he arranges and guides. The countries visited will be Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, Poland, USSR and Romania. Mr. Overholt was called to the Christian ministry in 1957 and resides at Sarasota, Florida where he is co-minister of a Beachy Amish-Mennonite Church. Five children were born to this family and all enjoy worship in song. --Letter from Hannah Joanna Overholt to Mary Louise VanDyke, 10 October 1990, DNAH Archives. Photo enclosed.

Asahel Nettleton

1783 - 1844 Composer of "[Jesu! Jesu! Brunn des Lebens!]" in Gesangbuch mit Noten Nettleton, Asahel, D.D., a well-known Connecticut evangelist, was born at North Killingworth, Connecticut, April 21, 1783, and educated at Yale College, graduating in 1809. In 1811 he was licenced to preach, receiving ordination in 1817. He never settled as a pastor with any congregation, but preached in Western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York; in Virginia, 1827-28; and also in Great Britain in 1831. He died in 1843. His Memoirs, Sermons and Remains were published in 1844. Dr. Hatfield ascribes to him a hymn:— "Come, Holy Ghost, my soul inspire— This one great gift impart;" apparently on no other ground than that it appeared anonymously (as did many others) in his Village Hymns, in 1824, and has been traced no further. Nettleton's hymnological work centred in the compiling of his Village Hymns, from which more hymns of the older American writers have passed into English collections than from any other source. He knew and could appreciate a good hymn, but it is doubtful if he ever did or ever could have written one. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
