Hymnal: Das Gemeinschaftliche Gesangbuch #29 (1817) Lyrics: 1 wer zählt der Engel Heere, Die du zu deiner ehre, Herr aller welten, schufst? Sie freu'n sich, deinen willen Gehorsam zu erfüller, Wie flammen schnell, wenn du sie rufst. 2 Sie eilen, ver gefahren Den frommen zu bewahren In seiner pergerzeit; Sie freu'n and deinem throne Sich einst auch seiner krone, Wie ihrer eignen Seligkeit. 3 Bekehren sich die Sünder, Und werden deine kinder, Die dir dein Sohn gewinnt: Dann jauchzen ihre lieder, Daß ihre neuen Brüder Dem fluch entrissen worden sind. 4 In solcher Geister Chören Dich ewig zu verehren, Welch eine Seligkeit! Wer wird sie einst empfinden? Der, der entwöhnt von Sünden, Sich ihnen gleich zu werden freut. 5 Drum laß mich schon auf erden Den Engeln ähnlich werden, So weidlich schwacher kann; So bet ich mit den engeln Ganz heilig, rein von mängeln, Dich würdiger im himmel an. 6 Wann du zu ihren Liedern Zu meinen höhern Brüdern Vor deinen thron mich ruft: Will ich empor mich schwingen, Und dank und preis dir singen, Daß du für mich auch Engel schufst. 7 Dann lahren sie mich droben, Dich würdiger zu loben, Des himmels, höhren dank. Ich stimm in ihre Chöre, Dann wird zu deiner ehre Der ganze Himmel ein Gesang. Topics: Von Gottes Werken Von den geoffenbarten Rathschlüssen Gottes Languages: German

Johann Andreas Cramer

1723 - 1788 Person Name: Cramer Author of "Wer zählt der Engel Heere" in Gesangbuch für deutsche Gemeinden Cramer, Johann Andreas, born Jan. 27, 1723, at Jönstadt or Johann-Georgen-Stadt, in the Saxon Harz, where his father was pastor. After studying at the University of Leipzig, where he graduated M.A. in 1745, he was in 1748 appointed preacher at Crellwitz, near Lützen, and in 1750 Court Preacher and member of the Consistory at Quedlinburg. Four years later he became German Court Preacher to King Frederick V. of Denmark, at Copenhagen. There he obtained great fame as a preacher and teacher; and was appointed in 1765 Professor of Theology in the University. But after the accession of Charles VII., in 1766, the free-thinking party in the State gradually gained the ascendancy, and procured his removal; whereupon he was appointed, in 1771, Superintendent in Lubeck. When the orthodox party regained power in 1774, he was recalled to Denmark, as Vice-Chancellor, and First Professor of Theology in the University of Kiel, and in 1784 Chancellor. He died at Kiel on the night of June 11-12, 1788 (Koch, vi. 334-344; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, iv. 550-551; Bode, pp. 54-55—the last dating his birth, Jan. 29).
