A lovely infant sleeps in death

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #936 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A lovely infant sleeps in death; How beautiful and fair! Yes, even now, though void of breath, God's impress still is there. 2 And if thus fair and lovely here, Beneath death's icy hand, O will it not be beauteous there, 'Mid the immortal band? 3 When Jesus bids it rise and live With all the saints in light, A glorious body then he'll give, Resplendent to the sight! 4 Though nature weeps when lovely ties So strongly bound are riven, Yet faith the Saviour's words applies, "Of such the realms of heaven!"

Person Name: Anon. Author of "A lovely infant sleeps in death" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Wetzikon, 1836) was an influential music educator who lectured throughout Germany and France. Influenced by Johann Pestalozzi, he published his theories of music education in Gangbildungslehre (1810), a book that made a strong impact on Lowell Mason. Nageli composed mainly" choral works, including settings of Goethe's poetry. He received his early instruction from his father, then in Zurich, where he concentrated on the music of. S. Bach. In Zurich, he also established a lending library and a publishing house, which published first editions of Beethoven’s piano sonatas and music by Bach, Handel, and Frescobaldi. Bert Polman
