Hymns, Hymnody, Translations and a few assorted
Exegetical and Historical Thoughts thrown in
Exegetical and Historical Thoughts thrown in
This site is dedicated to the glory of the Triune God and in thanksgiving for the 1580 Lutheran Book of Concord. This is a place where I will put original hymns, original hymn tunes, original translations of hymns and other things. I may also throw in a few exegetical and historically theological insights from time to time.
I have a profound interest in hymns. I am a member of the St. Ambrose Society, a group dedicated to the promotion of solid Lutheran hymns. It consists of musicians and theologians who either write hymn texts, hymn tunes, or do translation work of untranslated hymns. Currently, I have composed 62 hymn tunes, along with writing some texts here and there. My current project is working on translations of the hymns of Lutheran writer Johann Rist (1607-1667), many of which have never been translated as far as I can tell. I can't promise how often I will update this. But I wanted at least a place to put them and so others can benefit from my efforts. If you wish to use anything on this site, feel free to do so as long as you credit me at your church. (Putting my name as an announcement in a bulletin is fine).
