1906 - 1977 Translator of "Come and Stand Amazed, You People" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Klaas Hart, 1906-1977, was a Reverend in the Gereformeerde Kerk in the Netherlands. He was first the Reverend in Oostwold, then in Velp (1941-44), then in Utrecht after WWII (1946-1953). He then moved with his wife, Wilhelmina Fonds (1908-1995) and their seven children to Canada, where he had churches in Peterborough, Wallaceburg and Ingersoll. Before studying theology, he studied literature and had a life-long interest in poetry, and therefore an interest in hymns and their translation into English from Dutch. During World War II, he was part of the Dutch Resistance movement.
