1789 - 1871 Author of "Nun, liebe brueder, scheiden wir" in Eine Sammlung von Psalmen, Lobgesaengen, und Geistlichen Liedern, zum Gebrauch fuer den Gottesdienst der Brueder. 2nd ed. Dreisbach, John (or Johannes). (Buffalo Valley, Pennsylvania, 1789--1871). Evangelical. Self-educated, proficient in both German and English. Licensed at age 17, was assistant to Albright, the founder of his denomination. Was leader of his denomination from 1808: secretary of Conference, presiding elder 1814, publishing agent 1820. With Henry Niebel compiled Das Geistliche Saitenspiel (1817), with Daniel Bertolet compiled Eine Sammlung Neuer Geistlicher Lieder (1821), which included many of his own hymns. Wrote or translated 31 of the 149 hymns in the extremely popular and persistent Geistlich Viole (1818), which has been described as the most important German-language hymnbook of the pre-Civil War period. Dreisbach's purchase (at a cost equivalent to his eight-year salary) of a printing press in 1815 led to the beginning of the ambitious printing program of his denomination. His best-known original hymns are "Komm Jung, komm Alt, zum Gnadenbrunn," and "Herr Jesu Christ O Gottes Lamm." He is considered one of the three most important early Evangelical hymn writers. Many of his hymns appeared originally as broadsides. --Ellen Jane Lorenz, DNAH Archives
