How Good It Is For Brethren

Author: F. G. Wetzel; H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #643 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 How good it is for brethren Who know each other well, In unity together On this fair earth to dwell! In unity together On this fair earth to dwell! 2 As dew from lofty Hermon Into the valley flows, So God upon the brethren His choicest gifts bestows, So God upon the brethren His choicest gifts bestows. 3 And thro' them He reneweth That city fair and free, Where souls, by sin polluted, Shall pure and spotless be. Where souls, by sin polluted, Shall pure and spotless be. 4 And all the chosen people Shall there His face behold And be with Him forever, One Shepherd and one fold, And be with Him forever, One Shepherd and one fold.

1812 - 1887 Person Name: Ludvig M. Lindeman Composer of "ALL GLORY, LAUD" in The Concordia Hymnal Ludvig M. Lindeman (b. 1812; d. 1887) was a Norwegian composer and organist. Born in Trondheim, he studied theology in Oslo where he remained the rest of his life. In 1839 he succeeded his brother as the organist and cantor of Oslo Cathedral, a position he held for 48 years up until his death. Lindeman was appointed Knight of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, and was invited to both help christen the new organ in Royal Albert Hall in London, as well as compose for the coronation of King Oscar II and Queen Sophie of Sweden. In 1883, he and his son started the Organist School in Oslo. Lindeman is perhaps best known for his arrangements of Norwegiam folk tales; over the course of his life he collected over 3000 folk melodies and tunes. Laura de Jong
