1650 - 1704 Person Name: C. Günther Author of "Zu den Höhen aufzusehen" in Evangelisches Gesangbuch mit vierstimmigen Melodien Günther, Cyriacus, was born Jan. 15, 1649, at Goldbach, near Gotha. After study¬ing at the Gymnasium of Gotha, and the University of Jena, he became First-form master at Eisfeld, Sachse-Meiningen; and then Third-form master in the Gymnasium at Gotha. He died at Gotha in the beginning of Oct. 1704 (Koch, iv. 263-9; Bode, p. 81). His son, who was clerk of St. George's Church at Glaucha, possessed a manuscript collection of some 30 hymns by his father; and from this he allowed Freylinghausen to select 10 for his Neues geistreiches Gesang-Buch, 1714. These are above the average in merit, and Scriptural and good in style. Two have passed into English:— i. Bringt her dem Herren Lob und Ehr. Praise and Thanksgiving. 1714, No. 556, in 7 stanzas of 7 lines, repeated as No. 993 in the Berlin Geistlicher Lieder-Schatz, ed. 1863. The only translation in common use is:— With joyful heart your praises bring, a good translation of stanzaas i., iv.-vi., by A. T. Russell, as No. 202 in his Psalms & Hymns, 1851. ii. Halt im Gedächtniss Jesum Christ. Love to Christ. Founded on 2 Tim. iii. 8. 1714, No. 765, in 6 stanzas of 7 lines, repeated as No. 297 in the Berlin Geistlicher Lieder-Schatz, ed. 1863. On thankful remembrance of Christ's Incarnation (i.); Death (ii.); Resurrection (iii.); Ascension (iv.); Promised Second Advent (v.); ending with a prayer for faith (vi.). The only translation in common use is:— 0 keep before thy thankful eyes. A good and full tr. by A. T. Russell, as No. 182 in his Psalms & Hymns, 1851. Other trs. are: (i) "Remember Jesus, God's dear Son," by Dr. H. Mills, 1845 (1856, p. 125). (2) "Bear Jesus Christ the Lord in mind," by Miss Cox, in Lyra Eucharistica, 1863, p. 215 (1804, p. 259), and in her Hymns from German, 1864, p. ill. [Rev.
