Charles Heinrich Christopher Zeuner, 1795-1857, a native of Germany, came to America at the age of 29 and settled in Boston. His musical ability was soon recognized, and he was made president of the Handel and Haydn Society, and later its conductor. He published a book, _American Harp_, of nearly 400 pages of tunes, in 1832, mostly his own compositions. He moved to Philadelphia where he served as organist of St. Anne’s Episcopal Church and later of the Arch Street Presbyterian Church. Due to harsh criticism of his playing, he became despondent and took his own life one November day at a lonely spot in the woods. Zeuner was never married and had no relatives in this country. 338. How are Thy servants blest _Joseph Addison_, 1672-1719 A hymn of the Christian traveller, particularly descriptive of the experience of many Christian missionaries. It is known as the “Traveller’s Hymn” and has been found useful as a part of the daily devotions by Christians journeying in foreign lands. It appeared in ten stanzas in the _Spectator_ for September 20, 1712, at the end of an article on “Greatness,” with special reference to the greatness and awesomeness of the sea. The hymn was “made by a gentleman upon the conclusion of his travels.” Returning in 1700 from the terrors of a voyage on the Mediterranean Sea, Addison gives here, years afterwards, a picture of his own trying experiences. The second stanza describes some of the hardships through which he passed. The omitted stanzas (3, 4, 5, 7, 8) of the hymn picture the storm at sea, its subsidence, and the traveller’s trust in God. They are as follows: 3. Thy mercy sweetened every soil, Made every region please: The hoary Alpine hills it warmed, And smoothed the Tyrrhene seas. 4. Think, O my soul, devoutly think How with affrighted eyes Thou sawest the wide-extended deep In all its horrors rise! 5. Confusion dwelt in every face, And fear in every heart; When waves on waves, and gulfs on gulfs, O’ercame the pilot’s art. 7. When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know Thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 8. The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command is still.
