She now felt that she had found her real mission in life, and she wrote

that she was "the happiest creature in all the land." Until her death in

1915, hymns flowed from her inspired pen in a ceaseless stream. For a

long time she was under contract to furnish her publishers, Biglow &

Main, with three hymns every week. It has been estimated that no less

than 8,000 hymns and songs were written by this unusual woman.

Not all of her hymns possess high poetical excellence. In fact, they have

been subjected to the most severe criticism. John Julian, the English

hymnologist, with his usual candor, declares that "they are, with few

exceptions, very weak and poor, their simplicity and earnestness being

their redeeming features."

However, whether we consider her hymns of high poetic standard or not,

the fact remains that no one has written more hymns that are being sung

and loved today than Fanny Crosby. Certainly the hymnody of the Christian

Church is infinitely richer for "Pass me not, O gentle Saviour," "Sweet

hour of prayer," "Safe in the arms of Jesus," "All the way my Saviour

leads me," "Jesus is tenderly calling thee home," "I am thine, O Lord,"

"Rescue the perishing," "Speed away," "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine,"

"Jesus keep me near the Cross," "Some day the silver cord will break,"

and scores of other inspiring gems that have come to us from this blind

genius.

Practically all her hymns are very subjective in character. Although this

is doubtless an element of weakness, it probably explains their unusual

personal appeal. It was the prayer of Miss Crosby that she might win a

million souls for Christ, and there are many who believe that her prayer

has been more than realized. A strong Scriptural note is heard in most of

her hymns. When she was yet a child, she committed to memory the first

four books of the Old Testament, as well as the four Gospels, and this

proved a rich treasure store from which she drew in later life.

Fanny Crosby's fault apparently lay in the fact that she was too prolific

a writer. Most of her songs were composed in a few minutes. Often the

lines came as rapidly as they could be dictated. It was this circumstance

that led Dr. S. W. Duffield to observe rather facetiously that "It is

more to her credit as a writer that she has occasionally found a pearl

than that she has brought to the surface so many oyster shells." However,

before his death he evidently had altered his opinion, for he wrote: "I

rather think her talent will stand beside that of Watts or Wesley,

especially if we take into consideration the number of hymns she has

written."

Certainly there are many pearls among the 8,000 songs she wrote, and

perhaps none has given more solace to broken hearts than "Safe in the

arms of Jesus." Often the themes of her hymns were suggested to her by

publishers or musical composers. At other times a musician would play a

tune for her and ask her to write words for it. It was in 1868 that

William H. Doane, the popular hymn composer, came to her one day and

said: "Fanny, I have a tune I would like to have you hear." He played it

for her, and she exclaimed, "That says 'Safe in the arms of Jesus!'" She

went to her room immediately, and within half an hour the words had been

written.

Although Fanny Crosby never permitted the fact of her blindness to make

her life gloomy, there are many touching allusions in her hymns to her

affliction. "All the way my Saviour leads me" suggests how much a guiding

hand means to the blind. The same thought appears in the song, "God will

take care of you," especially in the lines,

Tenderly watching, and keeping His own,

He will not leave you to wander alone.

There also are pathetic passages in her hymns that reflect the hope that

some day the long night of blindness would be ended--in heaven.

Here let me wait with patience,

Wait till the night is o'er;

Wait till I see the morning

Break on the golden shore.

That is also the constant refrain heard in the exquisite hymn, "Some day

the silver cord will break."

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story--Saved by grace.

Nevertheless, she never permitted any one to express sympathy on account

of her blindness. Once a Scotch minister remarked to her, "I think it is

a great pity that the Master, when He showered so many gifts upon you,

did not give you sight."

She answered: "Do you know that, if at birth I had been able to make one

petition to my Creator, if would have been that I should be made blind?"

"Why?" asked the surprised clergyman.

"Because, when I get to heaven, the first face that shall ever gladden my

sight will be that of my Saviour," was the unexpected reply.

At a summer religious conference in Northfield, Mass., Miss Crosby was

sitting on the platform when the evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, asked her

for a testimony concerning her Christian experience. At first she

hesitated, then quietly rose and said: "There is one hymn I have written

which has never been published. I call it my Soul's poem, and sometimes

when I am troubled I repeat it to myself, for it brings comfort to my

heart." She then recited:

Some day the silver chord will break,

And I no more as now shall sing:

But, the joy when I shall wake

Within the palace of the King!

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story--Saved by grace.

The sight of her uplifted face, with its wistful expression, made a deep

impression upon the vast audience, and many were moved to tears.

In 1858 Miss Crosby married Alexander Van Alstyne, a blind musician,

wherefore she is often referred to as Mrs. Frances Jane Van Alstyne. She

died on February 12, 1915.

Philip P. Bliss (1838-1876).

ONE OF AMERICA'S EARLIEST GOSPEL SINGERS

Among hymn-books that have exerted a profound influence over the

spiritual lives of Christian people none has probably achieved greater

fame or wider circulation than the volume known as Gospel Hymns. It was

issued in a series of six editions, but now is usually found combined in

a single book.

Philip P. Bliss, the subject of this chapter, was the first editor of

Gospel Hymns. Associated with him in the publication of the first two

editions was the renowned Ira D. Sankey, who gained world-wide fame

through his evangelistic campaigns with Dwight L. Moody.

The story of the life of Bliss reads like romance.

Like many a poor lad endowed with love for the artistic, he was compelled

to struggle almost all his life for the opportunity that finally came to

him. Born at Rome, Pa., in 1838, he early revealed a passion for music

when, as a boy, he made crude instruments on which he tried to produce

tones.

The story is told of how Philip, when a ragged and barefoot boy of ten

years, heard piano music for the first time. So entranced did he become

that he entered the home unbidden, and stood listening at the parlor

door. When the young woman at the instrument ceased playing, the child

who hungered for music cried:

"O lady, play some more!"

Instead of complying with the request, the startled young woman is said

to have invited young Bliss to leave the house forthwith!

Although he received practically no musical education, except from

occasional attendance at a singing school, he wrote his first song at the

age of twenty-six years. It was called "Lora Vale," and because of its

popular reception, Bliss was encouraged to devote all his time to writing

songs and giving concerts.

Bliss usually wrote both the words and music of his hymns. His work was

done very quickly, the inspiration for the whole song, text and melody,

being born in his mind at once.

Any incident of an unusually impressive nature would immediately suggest

a theme to his mind. He heard the story of a shipwreck. The doomed vessel

was abandoned, and the captain ordered the sailors to exert their utmost

strength to "pull for the shore." Immediately he wrote his well-known

song with the words as a refrain.

One night he listened to a sermon in which the preacher closed with the

words, "He who is almost persuaded is almost saved, but to be almost

saved is to be entirely lost." He went home from the service and wrote

"Almost persuaded," a hymn that is said to have brought more souls to

Christ than anything else Bliss ever composed.

In 1870 he heard Major Whittle, an evangelist, tell the story of how the

message, "Hold the fort!" was signalled to the besieged garrison at

Allatoona Pass. The words suggested the passage from Revelations 2:25,

"That which ye have, hold fast till I come." The result was one of his

most famous Gospel songs, the chorus of which runs:

"Hold the fort, for I am coming,"

Jesus signals still,

Wave the answer back to heaven,--

"By Thy grace we will."

Other popular songs by Bliss are "Whosoever heareth, shout, shout the

sound," "I am so glad that our Father in heaven," "There's a light in the

valley," "Sing them over again to me," "Let the lower lights be burning,"

"Free from the law, Oh, happy condition," "Down life's dark vale we

wander" and "Where hast thou gleaned today?"

These songs, like the greater number of the Gospel Hymns, do not possess

high literary merit. The most that can be said for them is that they are

imaginative and picturesque. They are usually strong in emotional appeal.

The same is true of the tunes composed for them. They are usually very

light in character, with a lilt and movement that make them easily

singable, but lacking in the rich harmony found in the standard hymns and

chorales. No doubt there will always be a certain demand for this type of

religious song, and a few of the Gospel Hymns will probably live on, but

the present trend in all of the principal Christian denominations is

toward a higher standard of hymnody.

A terrible tragedy brought the life of the Gospel singer to a close in

his thirty-eighth year. He had visited the old childhood home at Rome,

Pa., at Christmas time in 1876, and was returning to Chicago in company

with his wife when a railroad bridge near Ashtabula, Ohio, collapsed on

the evening of December 29. Their train plunged into a ravine, sixty feet

below, where it caught fire, and one hundred passengers perished

miserably.

Bliss managed to escape from the wreckage, but crawled back into a window

in search for his wife. That was the last seen of him.

The song-writer's first name was originally "Philipp." He disliked the

unusual spelling, however, and in later years he used the extra "P" as a

middle initial.

Chautauqua Vesper Hymn

Day is dying in the west;

Heaven is touching earth with rest:

Wait and worship while the night

Sets her evening lamps alight

Through all the sky.

Refrain:

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!

Heaven and earth are full of Thee!

Heaven and earth are praising Thee,

O Lord Most High!

Lord of life, beneath the dome

Of the universe, Thy home,

Gather us who seek Thy face

To the fold of Thy embrace,

For Thou art nigh.

While the deepening shadows fall,

Heart of Love, enfold us all;

Through the glory and the grace

Of the stars that veil Thy face,

Our hearts ascend.

When forever from our sight

Pass the stars, the day, the night,

Lord of angels, on our eyes

Let eternal morning rise,

And shadows end.

Mary Artimisia Lathbury, 1880, 1890.

THE LYRIST OF CHAUTAUQUA

Those who have had the privilege of attending a vesper service in the

great Chautauqua Institution auditorium on the shores of beautiful Lake

Chautauqua, N. Y., have come away with at least one impression that is

lasting. It is the singing by the vast assembly of Mary Lathbury's famous

vesper hymn, "Day is dying in the west."

This beautiful evening lyric, which was written especially for the

Chautauqua vesper hour, has been called by a distinguished critic "one of

the finest and most distinctive hymns of modern times," and there are few

who will not concur in his judgment.

The "lyrist of Chautauqua" was born in Manchester, N. Y., August 10,

1841. As a child she began to reveal artistic tendencies. She developed a

special talent in drawing pictures of children, and her illustrations in

magazines and periodicals made her name widely known. She also wrote

books and poetry, illustrating them with her own sketches.

Very early in life she felt constrained to dedicate her talent to

Christian service. She tells how she seemed to hear a voice saying to

her: "Remember, my child, that you have a gift of weaving fancies into

verse, and a gift with the pencil of producing visions that come to your

heart; consecrate these to Me as thoroughly and as definitely as you do

your inmost spirit."

An opportunity to serve her Lord in a very definite way came in 1874,

when Dr. John H. Vincent, then secretary of the Methodist Sunday School

Union, employed her as his assistant. The Chautauqua movement had just

been launched the previous year and the formal opening on the shores of

the beautiful lake from which the institution has received its name took

place on August 4, 1874. Dr. Vincent became the outstanding leader of the

movement, and he began to make use of Miss Lathbury's literary talent

almost immediately.

Dr. Jesse Lyman Hurlbut, historian of Chautauqua, writes: "In Dr.

Vincent's many-sided nature was a strain of poetry, although I do not

know that he ever wrote a verse. Yet he always looked at life and truth

through poetic eyes. Who otherwise would have thought of songs for

Chautauqua and called upon a poet to write them? Dr. Vincent found in

Mary A. Lathbury a poet who could compose fitting verses for the

expression of the Chautauqua spirit."

The beautiful evening hymn, "Day is dying in the west," was written in

1880, at Dr. Vincent's request, for the vesper services which are held

every evening. It originally consisted of only two stanzas, and it was

not until ten years later that Miss Lathbury, at the strong insistence of

friends, added the last two stanzas. We are happy that she did so, for

the last two lines, with their allusion to the "eternal morning" when

"shadows" shall end, bring the hymn to a sublime conclusion.

It was also in 1880 that she wrote another hymn of two stanzas that has

shared in the fame that has come to her evening hymn. It was composed for

the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, and Miss Lathbury called

it "A Study Song." Its beautiful reference to the Sea of Galilee is made

the more interesting when we are reminded that the hymn was written on

the shores of lovely Lake Chautauqua. The hymn is particularly adapted

for Bible study, and it is said that the great London preacher, G.

Campbell Morgan, always announced it before his mid-week discourse. The

hymn reads:

Break Thou the Bread of life,

Dear Lord, to me,

As Thou didst break the loaves

Beside the sea;

Beyond the sacred page

I seek Thee, Lord;

My spirit pants for Thee,

O living Word!

Bless Thou the truth, dear Lord,

To me, to me,

As Thou didst bless the bread

By Galilee;

Then shall all bondage cease,

All fetters fall;

And I shall find my peace,

My All-in-all!

Miss Lathbury was greatly esteemed, not only for her lovely lyrics which

have given inspiration to thousands of souls, but also for her gentle,

Christian character. There was an indescribable charm about her

personality, and she exerted an abiding influence over those who came in

contact with her devout and consecrated spirit. She died in New York City

in 1913.

In His Footsteps

O Master, let me walk with Thee

In lowly paths of service free;

Tell me Thy secret, help me bear

The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move

By some clear winning word of love;

Teach me the wayward feet to stay,

And guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee

In closer, dearer company,

In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,

In trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray

Far down the future's broadening way,

In peace that only Thou canst give,

With Thee, O Master, let me live!

Washington Gladden, 1879.

GLADDEN'S HYMN OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE

For more than half a century, until his death in 1918, the name of

Washington Gladden was known throughout the length of the country as one

of America's most distinguished clergymen. A prolific writer, his books

and his magazine contributions were widely read by the American people.

Like most literary productions, however, his books and pamphlets have

already been largely forgotten. It is only a little hymn, written on a

moment's inspiration, that seems destined to preserve Gladden's name for

posterity. That hymn is "O Master, let me walk with Thee."

The author was born in Pottsgrove, Pa., February 11, 1836. After his

graduation from Williams College in 1859, he was called as pastor to a

Congregational church in Brooklyn. In 1882 he removed to Columbus, O.,

where he remained as pastor until 1914, a period of thirty-two years.

During these years he exerted a profound influence, not only over the

city of Columbus, but in much wider circles. Gladden was deeply

interested in social service, believing that it is the duty of the

Christian Church to elevate the masses not only spiritually and morally,

but in a social and economic sense as well. By sermons, lectures and by

his writings, he was ever trying to bring about more cordial relationship

between employer and employee.

Gladden was often the center of a storm of criticism on the part of those

who charged him with liberalism. His beautiful hymn, written in 1879,

seems to be in part an answer to his critics. It originally consisted of

three stanzas of eight lines each. The second stanza, which was omitted

when the poem was first published as a hymn, indicates how keenly Gladden

felt the condemnation of his opponents:

O Master, let me walk with Thee

Before the taunting Pharisee;

Help me to bear the sting of spite,

The hate of men who hide Thy light,

The sore distrust of souls sincere

Who cannot read Thy judgments clear,

The dulness of the multitude,

Who dimly guess that Thou art good.

Dr. Gladden always insisted that he was nothing but a preacher, and he

gloried in his high calling. In spite of busy pastorates, however, he

always found time to give expression to his literary talent. At one time

he was a member of the editorial staff of the New York Independent. Later

he was an editor of the "Sunday Afternoon," a weekly magazine. It was in

this magazine that "O Master, let me walk with Thee" was first published.

The writer had no idea of composing a hymn when it was written, and no

one was more surprised than he at its popularity. He himself agreed that

the second stanza quoted above was not suitable for hymn purposes.

Whatever judgment may be passed on Dr. Gladden's liberalistic views, it

will be agreed that he looked upon Christianity as an intensely practical

thing; and, if he underestimated the value of Christian dogma, it was

because he emphasized so strongly the necessity of Christian life and

practice.

He was always buoyed up by a hopeful spirit, and he believed implicitly

that the Kingdom of Light was gradually overcoming the forces of evil. In

one of his last sermons, he said:

"I have never doubted that the Kingdom I have always prayed for is

coming; that the gospel I have preached is true. I believe ... that the

nation is being saved."

Something of his optimism may be seen reflected in the words of his hymn.

A Hymn of the City

Where cross the crowded ways of life,

Where sound the cries of race and clan,

Above the noise of selfish strife,

We hear Thy voice, O Son of man!

In haunts of wretchedness and need,

On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,

From paths where hide the lures of greed,

We catch the vision of Thy tears.

From tender childhood's helplessness,

From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,

From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,

Thy heart has never known recoil.

The cup of water given for Thee

Still holds the freshness of Thy grace;

Yet long these multitudes to see

The sweet compassion of Thy face.

O Master, from the mountain-side,

Make haste to heal these hearts of pain,

Among these restless throngs abide,

O tread the city's streets again,

Till sons of men shall learn Thy love

And follow where Thy feet have trod;

Till glorious from Thy heaven above

Shall come the city of our God.

Frank Mason North, 1905.

A HYMN WITH A MODERN MESSAGE

Among the more recent hymns that have found their way into the hymn-books

of the Christian churches in America, there is none that enjoys such

popularity and esteem as Frank Mason North's hymn, "Where cross the

crowded ways of life." It is a hymn of the highest order, beautiful in

thought and unusually tender in expression. It is typical of the trend in

modern hymns to emphasize the Church's mission among the lowly and the

fallen.

From beginning to end this hymn is a picture of the modern city with its

sins and sorrows and spiritual hunger. We see the city as the meeting

place of all races and tongues; we hear the din and noise of selfish

striving; we behold the haunts of poverty and sin and wretchedness; we

catch a glimpse of the sufferings of helpless childhood, of woman's

secret griefs and man's ceaseless toil. And all these multitudes are

hungering for Christ!

North has, consciously or unconsciously, made a striking distinction

between mere social service work, which aims at the alleviation of human

need and suffering, and inner mission work, which seeks to help men

spiritually as well as physically. "The cup of water" is never to be

despised, but when it is given in Christ's Name it has double value; for

it is Christ Himself, after all, that men need, and it is only Christ who

can truly satisfy. Social service can never take the place of salvation.

What a beautiful prayer is that contained in the fifth stanza, where the

Master is entreated to "tread the city's streets again!" And then, as a

fitting climax to this whole remarkable poem, comes the triumphant

thought expressed in the final lines of the coming of the New Jerusalem

from above--"the city of our God."

North was well qualified to write such a hymn. He himself was a child of

the city, having been born in America's greatest metropolis in 1850. His

early education, too, was received in New York City and after his

graduation from Wesleyan University in 1872 he served several

congregations in the city of his birth. In 1892 he was made Corresponding

Secretary of the New York City Church Extension and Missionary Society

and in 1912 he was elected a Corresponding Secretary of the Methodist

Episcopal Board of Foreign Missions. Thus, almost his whole life has been

devoted to missionary activities at home and abroad.

It was in 1905, in response to a request from the Methodist hymnal

committee, that North wrote his celebrated hymn. He tells the story in

the following words:

"My life was for long years, both by personal choice, and official duty,

given to the people in all phases of their community life. New York was

to me an open book. I spent days and weeks and years in close contact

with every phase of the life of the multitudes, and at the morning, noon

and evening hours was familiar with the tragedy, as it always seemed to

me, of the jostling, moving currents of the life of the people as

revealed upon the streets and at great crossings of the avenues; and I

have watched them by the hour as they passed, by tens of thousands. This

is no more than many another man whose sympathies are with the crowd and

with the eager, unsatisfied folk of the world, has done.

"As I recall it, I came to write the hymn itself at the suggestion of

Professor C. T. Winchester, who, as a member of the committee on the new

hymnal, was struggling with the fact that we have so few modern

missionary hymns. He said to me one day, 'Why do you not write us a

missionary hymn?' I wrote what was in my thought and feeling.... That it

has found its way into so many of the modern hymnals and by translation

into so many of the other languages, is significant not as to the quality

of the hymn itself but as to the fact that it is an expression of the

tremendous movement of the soul of the gospel in our times which demands

that the follower of Christ must make the interest of the people his own,

and must find the heart of the world's need if he is in any way to

represent his Master among men."

Another lovely hymn by North was written in 1884. The first stanza reads:

Jesus, the calm that fills my breast

No other heart than Thine can give;

This peace unstirred, this joy of rest,

None but Thy loved ones can receive.

The spirit of this hymn reminds us very much of the two classic hymns of

Bernard of Clairvaux--"O Jesus, joy of loving hearts" and "Jesus, the

very thought of Thee." The last line quoted above is evidently inspired

by a line from the latter hymn.

A Gripping Hymn by a Girl

O'er Jerusalem Thou weepest

In compassion, dearest Lord!

Love divine, of love the deepest,

O'er Thine erring Israel poured,

Crieth out in bitter moan,

"O loved city, hadst thou known

This thy day of visitation,

Thou wouldst not reject salvation."

By the love Thy tears are telling,

O Thou Lamb for sinners slain,

Make my heart Thy temple dwelling,

Purged from every guilty stain!

O forgive, forgive my sin!

Cleanse me, cleanse me, Lord, within!

I am Thine since Thou hast sought me,

Since Thy precious blood hath bought me.

O Thou Lord of my salvation,

Grant my soul Thy blood-bought peace.

By the tears of lamentation

Bid my faith and love increase.

Grant me grace to love Thy Word,

Grace to keep the message heard,

Grace to own Thee as my Treasure,

Grace to love Thee without measure.

Anna Hoppe, 1919.

A LUTHERAN PSALMIST OF TODAY

It is gratifying to know that the spirit of hymnody is not dead, and that

still today consecrated men and women are being inspired to "sing new

songs unto Jehovah," In Milwaukee, Wis., lives a young woman who for

several years has been attracting wide-spread attention by her Christian

lyrics. Her name is Anna Hoppe, and the hymns she writes suggest strongly

something of the style and spirit of the Lutheran hymns of a by-gone age.

Born of German parents in Milwaukee in 1889, she began to write verse in

early childhood. Most of them were on patriotic themes, such as

Washington, Lincoln, The Battle of Gettysburg, and Paul Jones.

"At the age of about eleven," Miss Hoppe tells us, "I wrote a few lines

on Angels."

It was at the age of twenty-five years, however, that she began in

earnest the writing of spiritual poetry. Many of her poems were published

in religious periodicals and aroused much interest. In the hymnal of the

Augustana Synod, published in 1925, twenty-three of her hymns were

included. Since that time a collection of her hymns under the title,

"Songs of the Church Year," has appeared. In 1930 eight of her lyrics

were published in the "American Lutheran Hymnal."

As a prolific writer of hymns, Miss Hoppe probably has no equal in the

Lutheran Church today. Her unusual talent seems all the more remarkable

when it is known that she is practically self-educated. After she had

finished the eighth grade in the Milwaukee public schools, she entered a

business office. Since that time she has worked continuously, and has

received the benefit of only a few months' training at evening schools.

At present she is employed in the office of the Westinghouse Company.

Her hymns are composed in the midst of the stress and hurry of modern

life.

"Many of my hymns," she writes, "have been written on my way to and from

church, and to and from work. I utilize my lunch hours for typing the

hymns and keeping up correspondence. I used to do quite a bit of writing

on Sunday afternoons, but now we have a Layman's Hour in our church at

that time, and I do not like to miss it. I also attend our Fundamentalist

Bible lectures, Jewish mission meetings, and the like. Still I find a

minute here and there in which to jot down some verse."

Although few of Miss Hoppe's hymns rise to heights of poetic rapture,

they are characterized by a warmth of feeling and fervency of spirit that

make them true lyrics. They are thoroughly Scriptural in language,

although they sometimes become too dogmatic in phraseology. A deep

certainty of faith, however, breathes through their lines and saves them

from becoming prosaic.

One of her most beautiful hymns is for New Year's. Its opening stanza

reads:

Jesus, O precious Name,

By heaven's herald spoken,

Jesus, O holy Name,

Of love divine the token.

Jesus, in Thy dear Name

This new year we begin;

Bless Thou its opening door,

Inscribe Thy Name within.

A hymn for Epiphany reflects something of the same spirit of adoration:

Desire of every nation,

Light of the Gentiles, Thou!

In fervent adoration

Before Thy throne we bow;

Our hearts and tongues adore Thee,

Blest Dayspring from the skies.

Like incense sweet before Thee,

Permit our songs to rise.

The final stanza of her Ascension hymn is full of poetic fire:

Ascend, dear Lord!

Thou Lamb for sinners slain,

Thou blest High Priest, ascend!

O King of kings, in righteousness e'er reign,

Thy kingdom hath no end.

Thy ransomed host on earth rejoices,

While angels lift in song their voices.

Ascend, dear Lord!

Her fidelity to Scriptural language may be seen in the following simple

verses:

Have ye heard the invitation,

Sinners ruined by the fall?

Famished souls who seek salvation,

Have ye heard the loving call?

Hark! a herald of the Father

Bids you of His supper taste.

Round the sacred table gather;

All is ready; sinners, haste!

O ye chosen, have ye slighted

This sweet call to you proclaimed?

Lo! the King hath now invited

All the halt, the blind, the maimed:

Come, ye poor from out the highways,

Come, a feast awaits you, come!

Leave the hedges and the byways,

Hasten to the Father's home.

We have heard Thee call, dear Father,

In Thy Word and sacrament;

Round Thy festal board we'll gather

Till our life's last day is spent.

Ours the risen Saviour's merit,

Ours the bounties of Thy love,

Ours Thy peace, till we inherit

Endless life in heaven above.

Miss Hoppe speaks in glowing terms of the spiritual impressions received

in childhood from pious parents and a consecrated pastor, the sainted

John Bading, who both baptized and confirmed her. Her father died in

1910.

"He was a very pious Lutheran," she writes, "and so is mother. They often

spoke of afternoon prayer meetings they attended in Germany."

Some of her hymns not already mentioned are, "By nature deaf to things

divine," "Heavenly Sower, Thou hast scattered," "How blest are they who

through the power," "Lord Jesus Christ, the children's Friend," "O dear

Redeemer, crucified," "O precious Saviour, heal and bless," "O'er

Jerusalem Thou weepest," "Precious Child, so sweetly sleeping," "Repent,

the Kingdom draweth nigh," "The Sower goeth forth to sow," "Thou camest

down from heaven on high," "Thou hast indeed made manifest," "Thou Lord

of life and death," "Thou virgin-born incarnate Word," "O Lord, my God,

Thy holy law," "Jesus, Thine unbounded love," "He did not die in vain,"

"I open wide the portals of my heart," "Rise, my soul, to watch and

pray," "O joyful message, sent from heaven," "O Thou who once in

Galilee," and "Thou goest to Jerusalem." She is the translator of "O

precious thought! some day the mist shall vanish," a hymn from the

Swedish, as well as some eighty gems from German hymnody. Thirty-two of

her German translations appeared in "The Selah Song Book," edited by

Adolf T. Hanser in 1922.

Many of Miss Hoppe's hymns have been written on the pericopes of the

Church Year. She has consistently refused to have her hymns copyrighted,

believing that no hindrance should be put in the way of any one who

desires to use them.

Up to 1930 nearly 400 hymns had appeared from Miss Hoppe's pen. Her

ambition is to write a thousand original Christian lyrics.

A Song of Victory

Rise, ye children of salvation,

All who cleave to Christ, the Head!

Wake, arise, O mighty nation,

Ere the foe on Zion tread:

He draws nigh, and would defy

All the hosts of God Most High.

Saints and heroes, long before us,

Firmly on this ground have stood;

See their banner waving o'er us,

Conquerors through the Saviour's blood!

Ground we hold whereon of old

Fought the faithful and the bold.

Fighting, we shall be victorious

By the blood of Christ our Lord;

On our foreheads, bright and glorious,

Shines the witness of His Word;

Spear and shield on battlefield,

His great Name; we cannot yield.

When His servants stand before Him,

Each receiving his reward--

When His saints in light adore Him,

Giving glory to the Lord--

"Victory!" our song shall be,

Like the thunder of the sea.

Justus Falckner, 1697.

SURVEY OF AMERICAN LUTHERAN HYMNODY

It is a significant fact that the first Lutheran pastor to be ordained in

America was a hymn-writer. He was Justus Falckner, author of the stirring

hymn, "Rise, ye children of salvation."

Falckner, who was born on November 22, 1672, in Langenreinsdorf, Saxony,

was the son of a Lutheran pastor at that place. He entered the University

of Halle in 1693 as a student of theology under Francke, but for

conscientious reasons refused to be ordained upon the completion of his

studies. Together with his brother Daniel he became associated with the

William Penn colony in America and arranged for the sale of 10,000 acres

of land to Rev. Andreas Rudman, who was the spiritual leader of the

Swedish Lutherans along the Delaware.

Through Rudman's influence Falckner was induced to enter the ministry,

and on November 24, 1703, he was ordained in Gloria Dei Lutheran Church

at Wicacoa, Philadelphia. The ordination service was carried out by the

Swedish Lutheran pastors, Rudman, Erik Bjork, and Andreas Sandel.

Falckner was the first German Lutheran pastor in America, and he also had

the distinction of building the first German Lutheran church in the New

World--at Falckner's Swamp, New Hanover, Pa. Later he removed to New

York, where for twenty years he labored faithfully among the German,

Dutch, and Scandinavian settlers in a parish that extended some two

hundred miles from Albany to Long Island.

It seems that Falckner's hymn, "Rise, ye children of salvation," was

written while he was a student at Halle. It appeared as early as 1697 in

"Geistreiches Gesangbuch," and in 1704 it was given a place in

Freylinghausen's hymn-book. There is no evidence that Falckner ever

translated it into English.

Since the Lutheran Church in America to a large extent employed the

German and Scandinavian languages in its worship, it was content for

nearly two hundred years to depend on hymn-books originating in the Old

World. Not until the latter half of the nineteenth century were serious

efforts made to provide Lutheran hymn-books in the English language.

Writers of original hymns were few in number, but a number of excellent

translators appeared.

Through the efforts of these translators, an increasing number of

Lutheran hymns from the rich store of German and Scandinavian hymnody are

being introduced in the hymn-books of this country. Pioneers in this

endeavor about half a century ago were Charles Porterfield Krauth, noted

theologian and vice-provost of the University of Pennsylvania; Joseph A.

Seiss, of Philadelphia, pastor and author, to whom we are indebted for

the translation of "Beautiful Saviour" and "Winter reigns o'er many a

region"; and Charles William Schaeffer, Philadelphia theologian, who

translated Held's "Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit" and Rambach's

beautiful baptism hymn, "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Mrs. Harriet

Krauth Spaeth also belongs to this group, her most notable contribution

being the translation of the medieval Christian hymn, "Behold, a Branch

is growing."

Later translators of German hymns were Matthias Loy, for many years

president of Capital University, Columbus, Ohio; August Crull, professor

of German at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind., and Conrad H. L.

Schuette, professor of theology at Capital University and later president

of the Joint Synod of Ohio. Loy was not only a translator but also an

author of no mean ability. Among his original hymns that seem destined to

live are "Jesus took the babes and blessed them," "I thank Thee, Jesus,

for the grief," and "O great High Priest, forget not me." His splendid

translations include such hymns as Selnecker's "Let me be Thine forever,"

Schenck's "Now our worship sweet is o'er" and Hiller's "God in human

flesh appearing." From Schuette we have received in English dress Behm's

"O holy, blessed Trinity," while Crull's most successful translations are

Homburg's "Where wilt Thou go, since night draws near?" and Ludaemilia

Elizabeth of Schwartzburg-Rudolstadt's beautiful hymn, "Jesus, Jesus,

Jesus only."

Among the living translators of German hymns, H. Brueckner, professor at

Hebron College, Hebron, Nebraska, takes first rank. In the American

Lutheran Hymnal, published in 1930 by a Lutheran intersynodical

committee, he is represented by some seventy translations from the

German, three from the French, and four original hymns. Although

Brueckner's work is too recent to be properly evaluated, his hymns reveal

evidences of genuine lyrical quality and true devotional spirit.

Other successful translators of German hymns are John Caspar Mattes,

Lutheran pastor at Scranton, Pa.; Emmanuel Cronenwett, pastor emeritus at

Butler, Pa., and Paul E. Kretzmann, of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis,

Mo., Lutheran theologian and commentator. To Mattes we are indebted for

the English version of Gotter's "Friend of the weary, O refresh us" and

Albinus' "Smite us not in anger, Lord." Cronenwett and Kretzmann have

written a number of excellent original hymns in addition to their

translations. The American Lutheran Hymnal contains nine of these by the

former and seventeen from the pen of the latter. Cronenwett's hymns are

chiefly didactic, but occasionally he soars to lyrical heights, as in "Of

omnipresent grace I sing." Among Kretzmann's best efforts are "Lead on, O

Lord" and "Praise and honor to the Father." A note of praise to the Holy

Trinity is heard in practically all of Kretzmann's hymns.

The foremost translator of Swedish hymns is Ernst W. Olson, office editor

of Augustana Book Concern, Rock Island, Ill. From his gifted pen we have

received the English version of such gems as Wallin's "All hail to thee,

O blessed morn," "From peaceful slumber waking," "Jerusalem, lift up thy

voice," "Mute are the pleading lips of Him," and "Heavenly Light,

benignly beaming"; Franzen's "Ajar the temple gates are swinging," "Come,

O Jesus, and prepare me," and "When vesper bells are calling";

Soderberg's "In the temple where our fathers," Geijer's "In triumph our

Redeemer," Petri's "Now hail we our Redeemer" and "Thy sacred Word, O

Lord, of old," and Carl Olof Rosenius' "With God and His mercy, His

Spirit and Word." Olson has also written a number of excellent original

hymns, including "Mine eyes unto the mountains," "Behold, by sovereign

grace alone," and "Glorious yuletide, glad bells proclaim it."

Other translators of Swedish hymns include Claude W. Foss, professor of

history at Augustana College, Rock Island, Ill.; Victor O. Peterson,

formerly with the same institution, but now deceased; George H. Trabert,

Lutheran pastor at Minneapolis, Minn.; Augustus Nelson, Lutheran pastor

at Gibbon, Minn.; Olof Olsson, for many years president of Augustana

College, and August W. Kjellstrand, who until his death in 1930 was

professor of English at the same institution. Among the finest

contributions by Foss are translations of Nystrom's "O Fount of truth and

mercy," Hedborn's "With holy joy my soul doth beat," and Franzen's "Thy

scepter, Jesus, shall extend." Nelson has given us beautiful renderings

of Franzen's "Prepare the way, O Zion" and "Awake, the watchman crieth,"

and Wallin's "Jesus, Lord and precious Saviour." Peterson is the

translator of Arrhenius' "Jesus is my friend most precious" and Wallin's

Advent hymn, "O bride of Christ, rejoice." Olsson, who was one of the

earliest translators of Swedish lyrics, has given us Franzen's communion

hymn, "Thine own, O loving Saviour," and another on the Lord's Supper by

Spegel, "The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord." Kjellstrand's version of

Hedborn's sublime hymn of praise, "Holy Majesty, before Thee," is one of

the most successful efforts at converting Swedish hymns into the English

language. To these translators should also be added the name of Anders O.

Bersell, for many years professor of Greek at Augustana College, who gave

poetic English form to Lina Sandell's "Jerusalem, Jerusalem" and

Rutstrom's "Come, Saviour dear, with us abide."

A number of translators and writers besides those here named made new

contributions to the Hymnal of the Augustana Synod published in 1925.

About twenty-five years ago a group of literary men within the Norwegian

Lutheran Synods undertook the task of translating some of the gems of

Danish and Norwegian hymnody. Among these were C. Doving, now a city

missionary in Chicago; George T. Rygh, also residing at the present time

in Chicago; C. K. Solberg, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church,

Minneapolis, Minn.; O. T. Sanden, and O. H. Smedby, former Lutheran

pastor at Albert Lea, Minn., now deceased. Doving's masterpiece

undoubtedly is his translation of Grundtvig's "Built on the Rock, the

Church doth stand," although he will also be remembered for his rendering

of Holm's "How blessed is the little flock," and Landstad's "Before Thee,

God, who knowest all." Rygh's contribution consists of the translation of

such hymns as Grundtvig's "Peace to soothe our bitter woes," Kingo's "Our

table now with food is spread," Landstad's "Speak, O Lord, Thy servant

heareth," Boye's "O Light of God's most wondrous love," and Brun's

"Heavenly Spirit, all others transcending." Sanden has translated Brun's

"The sun has gone down," while Smedby has left us a fine version of

Boye's "Abide with us, the day is waning." While Solberg has translated

some hymns, he is known better as a writer of original lyrics. Among

these are "Lift up your eyes, ye Christians," "Fellow Christians, let us

gather," and "O blessed Light from heaven."

Foremost among recent translators of Danish hymns are J. C. Aaberg,

pastor of St. Peter's Danish Lutheran church, Minneapolis, Minn., and P.

C. Paulsen, pastor of Golgotha Danish Lutheran church, Chicago, Ill. In

the American Lutheran Hymnal there are nineteen translations by Aaberg,

while Paulsen is represented by a like number. Through the efforts of

these men, both of whom possess no mean poetic ability, many of the

finest hymns of Brorson, Kingo, Grundtvig, Ingemann, Vig, and Pawels have

been introduced to American Lutherans. Paulsen is the author of three

original hymns, "Blest is he who cries to heaven," "Take my heart, O

Jesus," and "Let us go to Galilee," while Aaberg has written "There is a

blessed power."

One of the most richly endowed hymn-writers in the Lutheran Church today

is A. F. Rohr, pastor at Fremont, O. From his pen we have received such

hymns as "Eternal God, omnipotent," "Lord of life and light and

blessing," "From afar, across the waters," and "Living Fountain, freely

flowing." For poetic expression and graceful rhythm his hymns are

unsurpassed by any contemporary writer. He also combines such depth of

feeling with the lyrical qualities of his hymns, they no doubt possess

enduring qualities. Witness the following hymn:

Living Fountain, freely flowing

In the sheen of heaven's day,

Grace and life on us bestowing,

Wash Thou all our sins away.

Fountain whence alone the living

Draw the life they boast as theirs,

By Thy grace, a gift whose giving

Life of life forever shares.

Who Thy mighty depths can measure?

Who can sound, with earthly line,

Thy profundity of treasure,

Thy infinity divine?

They who quaff Thy wave shall never

Thirst again; for springing free

In their hearts, a fount forever

Thou to them of life shall be.

May we drink of Thee rejoicing,

Till on heaven's sinless shore

We Thy virtues shall be voicing

With the blest for evermore.

Samuel M. Miller, dean of the Lutheran Bible Institute, Minneapolis,

Minn., is the writer of a number of spiritual songs and hymns that have

become popular in Bible conference circles. Among his hymns are "In the

holy Father's keeping" and "When Jesus comes in glory."

W. H. Lehmann, superintendent of home missions in the American Lutheran

Church, has written "Take Thou my life, dear Lord," and "Beneath Thy

cross I stand," the latter a passion hymn of rare beauty:

Beneath Thy cross I stand

And view Thy marred face;

O Son of man, must Thou thus die

To save a fallen race?

Alone Thou bear'st the wrath

That should on sinners fall,

While from Thy holy wounds forthflows

A stream of life for all.

O Lamb of God so meek,

Beneath Thy cross I bow:

Heart-stricken, all my sins confess--

O hear, forgive me now!

O Son of God, look down

In mercy now on me

And heal my wounds of sin and death,

That I may live to Thee!
