ES IST DAS HEIL
Sing praise to God who reigns above
Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; John Jacob Schuetz Appears in 196 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul He fills,
And every faithless murmur stills;
To God all praise and glory!
2 The angel host, O King of kings,
Thy praise forever telling,
In earth and sky all living things
Beneath Thy shadow dwelling,
Adore the wisdom which could span,
And power which formed Creation's plan;
To God all praise and glory!
3 I cried to God in my distress,
His mercy heard me calling;
My Saviour saw my helplessness,
And kept my feet from falling;
For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee!
To God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my gladsome way along,
I'll sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises:
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part!
To God all praise and glory!

Wenn ich, o Schöpfer! deine macht
Author: C. F. Gellert Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Wenn ich, o Schöpfer! deine macht,
Die weisheit deiner wege,
Die liebe, die für alle wacht,
Anbetend überlege:
So weiß ich, von bewumd’rung voll,
Nicht wie ich dich erheben soll,
Mein Gott, mein Herr und Vater!
2. Mein auge sieht, wohin es blickt,
Die wunder deiner werke.
Der himmel, prächtig ausgeschmückt,
Preis’t dich, du Gott der stärke!
Wer hat die sonn’ an ihm erhöht?
Wer kleidet sie mit majestät?
Wer ruft dem heer der sterne?
3. Wer mißt dem winde seinen lauf?
Wer heißt die himmel regnen?
Wer schließt den schoss der erde auf,
Mit vorrath uns zu segnen?
O Gott der macht und herrlichkeit!
Gott, deine güte reicht so weit,
So weit die wolken reichen.
4. Dich predigt sonnenschein und sturm!
Dich preis’t der sand am meere.
Bringt, ruft auch der geringste wurm,
Bringt meinem Schöpfer ehre!
Mich, ruft der baum in seiner pracht,
Mich, ruft die saat, hat Gott gemacht:
Bringt unserm Schöpfer ehre!
5. Der mensch, ein leid, den deine hand
So wunderbar bereitet;
Der mensch, ein geist, den sein verstand,
Dich zu erkennen, leitet:
Der mensch, der schöpfung ruhm und preis,
Ist sich ein täglicher beweis
Von deiner güt’ und größe.
6. Erheb’ ihn ewig, o mein geist,
Erhebe seinen namen!
Gott, unser Vater, sei gepreis’t,
Und alle welt sag’ Amen!
Und alle welt fürcht’ ihren Herrn,
Und hoff’ auf ihn und dien’ ihm gern!

Author: Paul Speratus Hymnal: Antwort Finden in alten und neuen Liedern, in Worten zum Nachdenken und Beten #342 (2014) Lyrics: 1 Es ist das Heil uns kommen her
von Gnad und lauter Güte;
die Werk, die helfen nimmermehr,
sie können nicht behüten.
Der Glaub sieht Jesum Christus an,
der hat für uns genug getan,
er ist der Mittler worden.
2 Was Gott im G'setz geboten hat,
da man es nicht konnt halten,
erhob sich Zorn und große Not
vor Gott so mannigfalten;
vom Fleisch wollt nicht heraus der Geist,
vom G'setz erfordert allermeist;
es war mit uns verloren.
3 Doch mußt das G'setz erfüllet sein,
sonst wärn wir all verdorben.
Drum schickt Gott seinen Sohn herein,
der selber Mensch ist worden;
das ganz Gesetz hat er erfüllt,
damit seins Vaters Zorn gestillt,
der über uns ging alle.
4 Und wenn es nun erfüllet ist
durch den, der es konnt halten,
so lerne jetzt ein frommer Christ
des Glaubens recht Gestalte.
Nicht mehr denn: "Lieber Herre mein,
dein Tod wird mir das Leben sein,
du hast für mich bezahlet."
5 Daran ich keinen Zweifel trag,
dein Wort kann nicht betrügen.
Nun sagst du, daß kein Mensch verzag,
- das wirst du nimmer lügen -:
"Wer glaubt an mich und wird getauft,
demselben ist der Himmel erkauft,
daß er nicht werd verloren."
6 Es ist gerecht vor Gott allein,
der diesen Glauben fasset;
der Glaub gibt einen hellen Schein,
wenn er die Werk nicht lasset;
mit Gott der Glaub ist wohl daran,
dem Nächsten wird die Lieb Guts tun,
bist du aus Gott geboren.
7 Die Werk, die kommen g'wißlich her
aus einem rechten Glauben;
denn das nicht rechter Glaube wär,
wolltst ihn der Werk berauben.
Doch macht allein der Glaub gerecht;
die Werk, die sind des Nächsten Knecht,
dran wir den Glauben merken.
8 Sei Lob und Ehr mit hohem Preis
um dieser Guttat willen
Gott Vater, Sohn und Heilgem Geist.
Der woll mit Gnad erfüllen,
was er in uns ang'fangen hat
zu Ehren seiner Majestät,
daß heilig werd sein Name;
9 sein Reich zukomm; sein Will auf erd
g'scheh wie im Himmelsthrone;
das täglich Brot noch heut uns werd;
will unsrer Schuld verschonen,
wie wir auch unsern Schuldnern tun;
laß uns nicht in Versuchung stehn;
lös uns vom Übel. Amen. Topics: Glaube - Liebe - Hoffnung Rechtfertigung und Zuversicht Scripture: Romans 3:21-28 Languages: German Tune Title: [Es ist das Heil uns kommen her]

Frances Elizabeth Cox
1812 - 1897 Translator of "Sing praise to God who reigns above" in Church Book Cox, Frances Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. George V. Cox, born at Oxford, is well known as a successful translator of hymns from the German. Her translations were published as Sacred Hymns from the German, London, Pickering. The 1st edition, pub. 1841, contained 49 translations printed with the original text, together with biographical notes on the German authors. In the 2nd edition, 1864, Hymns from the German, London, Rivingtons, the translations were increased to 56, those of 1841 being revised, and with additional notes. The 56 translations were composed of 27 from the 1st ed. (22 being omitted) and 29 which were new. The best known of her translations are "Jesus lives! no longer [thy terrors] now" ; and ”Who are these like stars appearing ?" A few other translations and original hymns have been contributed by Miss Cox to the magazines; but they have not been gathered together into a volume.

Composer of "ST. PAUL" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Catherine Winkworth
1827 - 1878 Person Name: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Translator of "All praise and thanks to God Most High" in The Evangelical Hymnal with Tunes Catherine Winkworth (b. Holborn, London, England, 1827; d. Monnetier, Savoy, France, 1878) is well known for her English translations of German hymns; her translations were polished and yet remained close to the original. Educated initially by her mother, she lived with relatives in Dresden, Germany, in 1845, where she acquired her knowledge of German and interest in German hymnody. After residing near Manchester until 1862, she moved to Clifton, near Bristol. A pioneer in promoting women's rights, Winkworth put much of her energy into the encouragement of higher education for women. She translated a large number of German hymn texts from hymnals owned by a friend, Baron Bunsen. Though often altered, these translations continue to be used in many modern hymnals. Her work was published in two series of Lyra Germanica (1855, 1858) and in The Chorale Book for England (1863), which included the appropriate German tune with each text as provided by Sterndale Bennett and Otto Goldschmidt. Winkworth also translated biographies of German Christians who promoted ministries to the poor and sick and compiled a handbook of biographies of German hymn authors, Christian Singers of Germany (1869).

========================
Winkworth, Catherine, daughter of Henry Winkworth, of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was born in London, Sep. 13, 1829. Most of her early life was spent in the neighbourhood of Manchester. Subsequently she removed with the family to Clifton, near Bristol. She died suddenly of heart disease, at Monnetier, in Savoy, in July, 1878. Miss Winkworth published:—
Translations from the German of the Life of Pastor Fliedner, the Founder of the Sisterhood of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserworth, 1861; and of the Life of Amelia Sieveking, 1863.
Her sympathy with practical efforts for the benefit of women, and with a pure devotional life, as seen in these translations, received from her the most practical illustration possible in the deep and active interest which she took in educational work in connection with the Clifton Association for the Higher Education of Women, and kindred societies there and elsewhere. Our interest, however, is mainly centred in her hymnological work as embodied in her:—
(1) Lyra Germanica, 1st Ser., 1855. (2) Lyra Germanica, 2nd Ser., 1858. (3) The Chorale Book for England (containing translations from the German, together with music), 1863; and (4) her charming biographical work, the Christian Singers of Germany, 1869.
In a sympathetic article on Miss Winkworth in the Inquirer of July 20, 1878, Dr. Martineau says:—
"The translations contained in these volumes are invariably faithful, and for the most part both terse and delicate; and an admirable art is applied to the management of complex and difficult versification. They have not quite the fire of John Wesley's versions of Moravian hymns, or the wonderful fusion and reproduction of thought which may be found in Coleridge. But if less flowing they are more conscientious than either, and attain a result as poetical as severe exactitude admits, being only a little short of ‘native music'"
Dr. Percival, then Principal of Clifton College, also wrote concerning her (in the Bristol Times and Mirror), in July, 1878:—
"She was a person of remarkable intellectual and social gifts, and very unusual attainments; but what specially distinguished her was her combination of rare ability and great knowledge with a certain tender and sympathetic refinement which constitutes the special charm of the true womanly character."
Dr. Martineau (as above) says her religious life afforded "a happy example of the piety which the Church of England discipline may implant.....The fast hold she retained of her discipleship of Christ was no example of ‘feminine simplicity,' carrying on the childish mind into maturer years, but the clear allegiance of a firm mind, familiar with the pretensions of non-Christian schools, well able to test them, and undiverted by them from her first love."
Miss Winkworth, although not the earliest of modern translators from the German into English, is certainly the foremost in rank and popularity. Her translations are the most widely used of any from that language, and have had more to do with the modern revival of the English use of German hymns than the versions of any other writer.
