By Sin Weighed Down, And Sorely Stricken
Author: H. Brueckner; Chr. Tietze Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal First Line: By sin weighed down and sorely stricken Lyrics: 1 By sin weighed down and sorely stricken,
I stand before God's judgment throne.
O God, do Thou my spirit quicken,
For Thou canst help, and Thou alone.
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
2 O Father, Thou of mercies tender,
Thine humble child doth cry to Thee;
Wilt Thou to me sweet comfort render,
That I again may joyful be?
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
3 My troubled soul, its sins bewailing,
Can never for its guilt atone;
But let Thy mercy be unfailing,
That I Thy healing grace may own.
Have mercy of my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
4 My soul Thy pardon strongly craveth;
O speak the Word it fain would hear:
I lend thee grace that truly saveth,
I pardon thee, I stay thy fear.
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
5 I do not doubt my prayer is granted,
The sense of comfort doth increase;
I have the grace for which I panted,
And so to raise this cry I cease:
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Used With Tune: NEUMARK

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer —
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
strangers are found, and known, and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh,
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were.
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Jesus Names and images for; Light; Pilgrimage; Wisdom Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: BREMEN (NEUMARK)

If You But Trust in God to Guide You
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: 50 Uncommon Songs #15 (2014) Hymnal Title: 50 Uncommon Songs Lyrics: 1. If you but trust in God to guide you,
And place your confidence in Him,
You’ll find Him always there beside you
To give you hope and strength within;
For those who trust God’s changeless love
Build on the Rock that will not move.
2. Only be still and wait His pleasure
In cheerful hope, with heart content:
He fills your needs to fullest measure
With what discerning love has sent;
Doubt not our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
3. Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,
Offer your service faithfully,
And trust His word; though undeserving,
You’ll find His promise true to be;
God never will forsake in need
The soul that trusts in Him indeed. Scripture: Psalm 48:14 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK (Neumark)

F. Melius Christiansen
1871 - 1955 Person Name: F. Melius Christiansen, 1871-1955 Hymnal Title: Ambassador Hymnal Arranger of "NEUMARK" in Ambassador Hymnal F. Melius Christiansen (April 1, 1871-June 1, 1955) was a Norwegian-born violinist and choral conductor in the Lutheran choral tradition.
Fredrik Melius Christiansen, the son of a Norwegian factory worker, was born in Eidsvold, municipality in Akershus county, Norway and emigrated to the United States at the age of 17. He settled in Washburn, Wisconsin. He studied at Augsburg College. In 1897, he returned to Europe to study three years at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Leipzig, Germany.
In 1901, Christiansen was recruited by St. Olaf College president John N. Kildahl. The St. Olaf Choir was founded as an outgrowth of the St. John's Lutheran Church Choir in Northfield. For the next 30 years, Christiansen led the St. Olaf Choir, striving for perfect intonation, blend, diction and phrasing. He was a skilled conductor, directing bands and choirs alike. He assumed direction of the St. Olaf Band in 1903, and took the ensemble on tour to Norway in 1906 to play for King Haakon VII, making it the first college music ensemble to conduct a tour abroad. Though his first love was the violin, he received international fame as founding director of the St. Olaf Choir of St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, USA from 1912 to 1944. Christiansen was considered a pioneer in the art of a cappella (unaccompanied) choral music. Christiansen composed and arranged over 250 musical selections and his choral techniques were spread throughout the U.S. by St. Olaf graduates. The great Christiansen choral tradition is a recognized feature of American Lutheranism.
Four of Dr. Christiansen's children survived to adulthood two of them adding their own legacy to the Christiansen tradition of choral music in America.

Christoph Tietze
1641 - 1703 Person Name: Chr. Tietze Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Author of "By Sin Weighed Down, And Sorely Stricken" in American Lutheran Hymnal Titius, Christoph, son of Christoph Titius or Tietze, pastor at Wilkau, near Kamslau, in Silesia, was born at Wilkau, May 24, 1641. He entered the St. Mary Magdalene Gymnasium, at Breslau, in 1654, and the Aegidien (St. Giles) Gymnasium at Nürnberg, in 1660. He matriculated as a student of Theology at the University of Altdorf, in 1662. After completing his studies at the University of Jena, in 1664, he acted for two years as a family tutor. On Aug. 24, 1666, he was ordained as pastor of Laubenzedel, near Gunzenhausen, in Franconia; and then became, in 1671, pastor at Henfenfeld, near Nürnberg. In 1685 he was appointed diaconus at Hersbruck, near Nürnberg, became archidiaconus in June, 1701, and in Nov., 1701, was appointed chief pastor and inspector of schools. He died at Hersbruck, Feb. 21, 1703 .
Titius had begun to write hymns while at the Nürnberg Gymnasium, and his best known hymns originated either then or during his University course. They appeared in his Sünden-Schmertzen, Trost im Hertzen, Todten-Kertzen, erwecket, entdecket, angestecket von Christophoro Titio Silesio, Theol. St., at Nürnberg, 1663 [Library of the Prediger-Serninar at Hannover], with 15 hymns; in the 2nd enlarged edition, published as Himmel-Heise, Seelen-Speise, Engel-Weise, &c. , Nürnberg, 1670 [Berlin Library], with 45 hymns; and in the 3rd further enlarged ed. published as Vorige und neue Morgen- und Abend-Catechismus . . . Lieder, &c., Nürnberg, 1701 [Gottingen Library] with 55 hymns. The most popular were those of the first edition many of which passed into the German hymn-books of the 17th century, and various of which are still found in recent collections. The best of them are hearty and popular in style, earnest and scriptural in tone, and sententious.
Two of Titius's hymns have passed into English, viz.:—
i. 0 du Schopfer aller Dinge. Holy Communion. This is a hymn of penitence before Holy Communion, and was first published in 1663, as above, as No. ii., in 9 stanzas of 8 lines. Translated as "Bow Thine ear, I now implore Thee." By Dr. H. Mills, 1845, p. 38.
ii. Sollt es gleich bisweilen scheinen. Cross and Consolation. His most popular hymn, first published in 1663, as No. vi., in 10 stanzas of 4 lines, entitled ”Hymn of Consolation." Included in Crüger's Praxis, 1675, the Nürnberg Gesang-Buch, 1676, Freylinghausen's Gesang-Buch, 1704, the Berlin Geistliche Lieder, 1863, No. 856, and many others, sometimes printed as 5 stanzas of 8 lines.
Lauxmann relates (Koch, viii. 488) that C. A. Dann, chief pastor of St. Leonard's Church, at Stuttgart, having spoken somewhat freely at the funeral of one of the courtplayers, had been relegated in 1812 to the village of Oieschingen in the Swabian Alb [in 1819 to the neighbouring village of Mössingen]. The king at last granted the earnest desire of the Stuttgart people for his return, and on Feb. 5, 1824, recalled him to Stuttgart. That night four friends walked over to Mössingen, and in the early morning conveyed the news to Dann by singing this hymn at the door of his room.
The translation in common use is:—
Seems it in my anguish lone. This is a good translation, omitting st. vi., by Miss Winkworth, in her Lyra Ger, 2nd Ser., 1858, p. 201; repeated in her Chorale Book for England, 1863, No. 146. Included in full in the Ohio Lutheran Hymnal, 1880, and abridged in the St. Aidan's College Hymn Book, 1864.
Other translations are:—
(1) "Yea should it ev'n to man appear." This is a translation of st. i., as st. v. of No. 1062, in the Supplement of 1808 to the Moravian Hymn Book, 1801 (1886, No. 505). (2) “Deem we sometimes, spirit-shaken." In L. Rehfuess's Church at Sea, 1868, p. 44, only st. i., vi. being from this hymn. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
