Frederick Foster and John Miller, translators of stanzas one and two, respectively, were both members of the Moravian Church. William Mercer, translator of stanza three, was an English scholar who translated and paraphrased many of the Latin and German hymns into English, but is best known for his successful work as editor of _The Church Psalter and Hymn Book_, 1857, the most popular hymn book of the Church of England. Another translation of this hymn appears at No. 508. _MUSIC._ ARNSBERG, also called “Wunderbarer König,” and “Gott ist gegenwärtig,” was composed by the poet and musician, Joachim Neander, 1650-80. It appeared in his collection, _Glaub- und Liebesübung_, Bremen, 1680, set to the hymn, “Wunderbarer König.” For comments on Neander see Hymn 127. 507. Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah! _Gottlieb Konrad Pfeffel_, 1736-1809 _Tr. C. Haas_, 1862-1928 _Stanzas 2 and 3, G. F. W. Schultz_, 1774-1842 _Tr. C. E. Krehbiel_, 1869-1948 Jehova! Jehova! Jehova! Deinem Namen sei Ehre, Macht, und Ruhm! Amen. Amen. Bis einst der Tempel dieser Welt Auf dein Wort in Staub zerfällt, Soll in unsern Hallen, Das Heilig, Heilig, Heilig, erschallen. Halleluja! Halleluja! The original is a one-stanza hymn. The author, Gottlieb Pfeffel, was born at Colmar in Alsace. His literary work consisted primarily of the writing of fables and hymns for instruction in the Colmar schools. At the age of 21 he became totally blind, but carried on, despite the handicap, a magnificent life work as president of the schools at Colmar. He was also the founder of a nursery for Protestant children. Christian George Haas, translator of the hymn, was a minister in the Evangelical Church. After graduating from Eden Theological Seminary, he held pastorates in St. Paul and in Buffalo, and edited the _Hymnal of the Evangelical Church_, 1898. Two stanzas were added to Pfeffel’s hymn, by G. F. W. Schultz: Sohn Gottes! Sohn Gottes! Sohn Gottes! Deinen Namen preist unser Lobgesang! Amen. Amen. Du kamst aus Lieb’ zu uns herab, Siegtest über Tod und Grab, Alle zu erlösen, O Heiland, Heiland, Heiland, vom Bösen! Sei hochgelobt! Sei hochgelobt! Geist Gottes! Geist Gottes! Geist Gottes! Deinen Namen erhebet unser Lied! Amen. Amen. Du heiligst, führ’st in’s Vaterland, Bist des Gnadenerbes Pfand. Deiner die Erlösten Du Heil’ger, Heil’ger, Heil’ger, sich trösten! Halleluja! Halleluja! No information has been traced concerning the author. For comments on C. E. Krehbiel who translated stanzas 2 and 3, see Hymn 376. _MUSIC._ JEHOVAH. No information is at hand concerning Johann C. Gerold, composer of this somewhat long, but dignified and effective tune, with its peculiar meter.
