Thou who lovedst me from childhood, Be my refuge in my youth; In a world where error lures me, Lead me in Thy paths of truth. 3 Let me heed Thy voice entreating: Come, my child, abide with Me; Wouldst thou spurn the loving-kindness Of the Friend who died for Thee? Grant that, at Thy sacred altar, Thro' Thy sacrament of grace, With the faithful I be numbered, And Thy saving love embrace. Amen.

Gustaf Düben

1628 - 1690 Composer of "DUEBEN" in American Lutheran Hymnal Gustaf Düben (also Gustav) (1628 – 1690) was a Swedish organist and composer. Düben was born and died in Stockholm. He was the grandson of the German-born Andreas Düben, who had been organist at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, and son of the composer and court kapellmeister Anders Düben (the Younger)]. In 1663, he succeeded his father as both hovkapellmästare, director of the Royal Swedish Court Orchestra, and organist of the German St Gertrud Church in Stockholm. He was the father of four children: Gustav von Düben the Younger (1659-1726), Joachim von Düben the Elder (1671-1730), Emerentia von Düben (1669-1743) and Anders von Düben (the Younger) (1673-1738). Gustaf the younger and Anders the Younger appears to have been the only of his children who followed in his father's footsteps as a composer, courtier and eventually kapellmeister. The Düben collection of manuscripts includes many unicae of German baroque music. --en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
