Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee! Health hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee. What need or grief Ever hath failed of relief? Wings of His mercy did shade thee. |

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee, Who from the heavens the streams of His mercy doth send thee. Ponder anew What the Almighty can do, Who with His love doth befriend thee. |

“Neanderthals” were named after him (sort of) 😋 There is a German valley called “Neander” which is named after Joachim Neander (“Neander Thal” in German, that is, “Neander Valley”) because he was known to be inspired there. Legend holds that Neander Valley is where he wrote “Lobe den Herren”. Incidentally, this is also the place where scientists discovered what they believe to be the evolutionary “missing link” between simiankind and humankind. They named these “creatures” Neanderthals; therefore, the “missing link of evolution” was named after a creationist!

Joachim Neander, called the greatest of all German-Calvinist Reformed hymn writers, was born in Bremen, Germany on May 31, 1650. He wrote approximately sixty hymns and composed many tunes most of them being hymns of praise. He was known as a scholar in theology, literature and music as well as pastor of the Reformed Church in Düsseldorf, Germany. “The Julian Dictionary of Hymnology calls this hymn “a magnificent hymn of praise, perhaps the finest production of its author and of the first rank in its class. ” Sadly Joachim Neander died when he was only thirty years old in 1680.
Catherine Winkworth was born in London, England, on September 13, 1827. She was a pioneer in the higher education of women. Miss Winkworth was regarded as one the finest translators of the German language into English. Her translations helped to make German hymns popular in England during the nineteenth century. Miss Winkworth translated several German hymn books which became popular. One of them was “The Chorale Book for England” published in 1863 which contained the translation of this hymn. She also translated “Now Thank We All our God. ”
The tune “Lobe Den Herren” ( “Praise to the Lord” ), first appeared in the “Stralsund Gesanbuch, ” 2nd edition, in 1665. It is said Joachim personally chose this tune for his text, and his words have never been used with any other melody. The tune first appeared in England in the 1904 edition of “Hymns Ancient and Modern. ”
Let the Amen sound from His people again!!!
