Shin Young Ahn

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Composer of "ONE WORLD" in Chalice Hymnal

1799 - 1874 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Author of "All Is O'er, the Pain, the Sorrow" in The Cyber Hymnal Moultrie, John, M.A., father of Gerard and Mary D. Moultrie, was born Dec. 31, 1799, at London, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1823), where he was Bell's University Scholar, 1820, and Trinity College Scholar, 1822. Taking Holy Orders in 1825, he was presented the same year by the Earl of Craven to the Rectory of Rugby, where he remained till his death, on Dec. 26, 1874. His publications included:— (1) My Brother's Grave, and other Poems, 1837; (2) Dream of Life, Lays of the English Church, &c, 1843; (3) Memoir and Poetical Remains of W. S. Walker, 1852; (4) Sermons, 1852; (5) Altars, Hearths, and Graves, 1854; (6) Psalms and Hymns as Sung in the Parish Church, Rugby, 1851. In his Preface Mr. Moultrie says of the Psalms & Hymns, 1851:— "The present collection of Psalms & Hymns is founded on the basis of that which has been in use during the last twelve years in the Parish Church of Rugby, and for which the congregation of that Church are indebted to the kindness and taste of the Rev. H. J. Buckoll." Further on in the same preface he says:— "More than twenty original compositions--some altered or abridged from my former publications, others written expressly for the present collection, and (I am sorry to add) on the spur of the moment—-have thus been introduced into company with which they have perhaps but slender claims to associate. Several of these are little more than paraphrases of the Epistles or Gospel for the day." These hymns, most of which are in Kennedy, 1863, include the following:— 1. Blest are the eyes of those. Gospel, 13 Sunday after Trinity. (The Good Samaritan.) 2. Bring the infant to the font. Holy Baptism. 3. Christ His own Apostles chooseth. St. Andrew. 4. Dear Lord, a lonely life was Thine. Gospel, 4 S. after Epiphany. (Stilling the Tempest.) 5. Friends and parents lingered weeping. Gospel, 24 S. after Trinity. (Raising the Ruler's daughter.) 6. God, Who dost the increase grant. Sexagesima. (The Sower.) 7. In patient faith till Christ shall come. Gospel, 6 S. after Epiphany. 8. In the beaming brow of Moses. Epistle, 12 S. after Trinity. 9. Lord, with glad and grateful spirits. Epistle, 1 S. after Trinity. (Perfect Love.) 10. Meek to suffer, strong to save. St. Mark. 11. Mysterious to the Christian heart. St. Michael and All Angels. 12. No act of sin our Saviour wrought. Collect, 2 S. after Easter. (Christ the Example.) 13. O Lord, a wondrous story. For Sunday Schools. 14. Our mortal eyes are all too dim. St. Stephen. 15. Source of wisdom, past and present. For Sunday Schools. 16. The world may look serene and bright. Circumcision. 17. Thou gavest, Lord, the life we live. Holy Communion. 18. When our hearts with grief are sore. Epistle. Ash Wednesday. 19. Wondrous was Thy path on earth. Gospel, 2 S. after Epiphany. (Marriage in Cana of Galilee.) These hymns, from the special subjects of which they treat, are of more than ordinary interest to hymnal compilers, and are worthy of attention. Nos. 4, 6, 7, 12, 16, 18, 19, are from his Lays of the English Church, 1843; the rest were written expressly for the Psalms & Hymns, 1851 (S. MSS.). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Johann W. Meinhold

1797 - 1851 Person Name: J. N. Meinhold Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Author of "Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 Meinhold, Johann Wilhelm, D.D, son of Georg Wilhelm Meinhold, pastor at Netzelkow on the island of Usedom, was born at Netzelkow, Feb. 27, 1797, and entered the University of Greifswald in 1813. He became rector of the Town School at Usedom in 1820. In 1821 he was appointed pastor of Coserow in Usedom, and, in 1828, of Crummin in Usedom (D.D. from Erlangen in 1840). He finally became, at Easter, 1844, pastor at Behwinkel, near Stargard. He was a staunch Conservative, and after passing through the revolutionary period of 1848, this feeling, coupled with his leaning to Konian Catholicism, made him resign his living in the autumn of 1850. He retired to Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin, and died there, Nov. 30, 1851 (Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie xxi. 235; MS. from Pastor Schmock of Netzelkow, &c). Meinhold is perhaps best known by his historical romance Maria Schweidler, die Bernsteinhexe (1843), which professed to be taken from an old manuscript and was universally accepted as genuine. His poems appeared in his Gedichte, Leipzig. 1823; Vermehrte Gedichte, Coserow, 1824; Proben Geistlicher Lieder, Stralsund, 1834; Gedichte, Leipzig, 1835, &c.; and also in Knapp's Christoterpe and Evangelischer Lieder-Schatz Meinhold's hymns are of considerable interest. Those translated into English are:— i. Guter Hirt, du hast gestillt. Death of a Child. This beautiful little hymn is in his Gedichte, Leipzig, 1835, vol. i., p. 38, in 3 st. of 6 1., and headed, "Sung in four parts beside the body of my little fifteen months' old son Joannes Ladislaus." (In reply to inquiries addressed to Crummin in January, 1888, Provinzial-Vikar Bahr has kindly informed me that this child was born at Crummin April 16, 1832, died there, of teething, on July 2, and was buried there, July 5, 1833.) It is included in Knapp's Evangelischer Lieder-Schatz, 1837, No. 3411 (1865, No. 2983). Translated as :— Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast still'd. A full and very good translation by Miss Winkworth, in her Lyra Gemanica, 2nd Ser., 1858, p. 122. This has passed, unaltered, into many recent hymnals, as the People's Hymnal, 1867, Hymnary, 1872, Hymnal Companion, 1876, &c.; and in America, into the Presbyterian Hymnal, 1874, Evangelical Hymnal, N. Y., 1880, and others. In the Appendix of 1868 to Hymns Ancient & Modern, it was included as No. 358, with long in st. i., 1. 2, altered to brief, and beginning, "Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled." This form has been followed in the Society for Promoting Chrisian Knowledge Church Hymns, 1871, Baptist Hymnal, 1879, &c.; and in America, in the Episcopal Hymnal, 1871, Hymns & Songs of Praise, N.Y., 1874, Laudes Domini, N. Y., 1884, and many others. ii. 0 Bethlehem! 0 Bethlehem! Was ist in dir geschehen. Christmas. This fine hymn is in the Appendix to Knapp's Evangelischer Lieder-Schatz, 1837, p. 837, and in Knapp's Christoterpe, 1838, p. 152, in 7 st. of 7 1. Translated as "0 Bethlehem! 0 Bethlehem!" by Dr. H. Mills, 1845 (1856, p. 272). [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
