Exegetical and Historical Thoughts thrown in
Rist; Johann Rist; Prayer; translation; Robert J. H. Mayes; Mayes; Lutheran Orthodox; Lutheran Orthodoxy; Lutheran hymn The prolific Lutheran hymn writer Johann Rist (1607-1667) wrote several volumes of Lutheran hymn verses. While a few have been translated and are accessible today, most remain locked away in the German in out of the way resources. However, I am making an effort to bring some of these long-forgotten hymn verses back.
The following is a translation of a Rist hymn on prayer (a translation of “Mein Gott und Vater / der Du Mir,” from Rist's book, Frommer Gottseliger Christen Alltägliche Hausmusik, Lüneburg, 1654). Good hymns on prayer are either hard to find or not easy to sing. I don't know if this one will be easier to sing or not, but it does add one more Lutheran hymn on prayer for us to be aware of.
