Soul, What Return Has God, Thy Savior

Author: Karl F. Lochner Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #404 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Soul, what return has God, thy Savior, For all He gives thee day by day? Oh, hast thou in thy gift a favor That can delight and please Him?--Say! The best of off'rings He requires: Thy heart it is that He desires. 2 Give unto God thy heart’s affection, Who else can claim thee as His own? Should Satan hold thee in subjection? With him but pangs of hell are known. To Thee alone, O Lord divine, My heart and all I now resign. 3 Accept the gift which Thou requirest, My heart and soul, O gracious God, The first fruits Thou so much desirest, For which Thy Son paid with His blood. To Thee I willingly assign My heart, dear Lord, for it is Thine. 4 Whom should I give my heart’s affection But Thee, who gavest Thine to faith? Thy fervent love is my protection; Lord, Thou hast loved me unto death. My heart with Thine shall ever be One heart throughout eternity. Amen.

Soul, what return has God thy Savior

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #345 (1918) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Soul, what return has God thy Savior For all He gives thee day by day? Oh hast thou in thy gift a favor That can delight and please Him?--say! The best of offerings He requires; Give Him thy heart with its desires. 2 Give God His own, if aught thou'rt giving; Say, soul, to whom belongs the heart? Can Satan, he who hates the living, Or any creature claim a part?-- To Thee alone I will assign, O Lord, my heart and all that's mine. 3 Accept the gift which Thou requirest, The first-fruits of my heart, O God! The offerings Thou so much desirest, And dearly paidst for with Thy blood; To Thee alone I now resign My heart, to be forever Thine. 4 Whom should I give my heart’s affection But Thee, who givest Thine to faith? Thy fervent love is my protection: Lord, Thou hast loved me unto death. My heart with Thine shall ever be One heart throughout eternity. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

C. H. Dretzel

1697 - 1775 Person Name: Kornelius Heinrich Dretzel Composer of "O DASS ICH TAUSEND" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: (baptised).September 18, 1697 - Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany Died: May 7, 1755 - Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany The German composer, organist and musicographer, Cornelius Heinrich Dretzel, was a grandson of Georg Dretzel (c1610-after 1676; organist of St Michael, Schwäbisch Hall) and nephew of Valentin, the most important member of the family. A possible student of Johann Pachelbel's eldest son, C.H. Dretzel also studied with J.S. Bach in Weimar in 1716-1717. He appears to have spent his whole life in Nuremberg, his hometown, in various organists' posts: Frauenkirche, St Lorenz (from 1743) and St Sebald. Cornelius Heinrich Dretzel's keyboard counterpoints and fugues were his forte having thoroughly emersed himself in the works of J. S. Bach. His reputation as a virtuoso player and contrapuntist is supported by his solo harpsichord concerto, Harmonische Ergötzung, influenced by J.S. Bach's Italian Concerto (BWV 971). Indeed Harmonische Ergötzung was long thought to be composed by J.S. Bach. An early version of the slow movement was entered into Schmeider as BWV 897:1. C.H. Dretzel's own "divertimenti" were thought to be lost until they were found in a collection that had belonged to Haydn. Of hymnological importance is his collection and commentary Des evangelishen Zions musicalische Harmonie (1731), which contains over 900 melodies, suspended over a continuous bass, most appealing in print for the first time in their local versions; the preface discusses the origin and development of the chorale. --www.bach-cantatas.com/L
