For me to live is Jesus

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus, For me to die is gain; To Christ I gladly yield me, And pass where He has lain. 2 I hence go with rejoicing To Christ, my Brother's side, That I may soon be with Him, And e'er with Him abide. 3 I have o'ercome life's crosses, Endured the chastening rod; And through His five wounds holy I am at peace with God. 4 When all my powers are breaking, My breath comes heavily, And not a word can utter, O hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When mind and though with faintness But waver yet about, E'en as a light that flickers Just as the flame goes out; 6 Then let me softly, gently, Lord, fall asleep in Thee, When by Thy will and counsel My last hour comes to me; 7 And let me cleave unto Thee With ivy's searching hold, And ever live, Lord, with Thee In bliss of heaven untold. 8 Amen! this will Thou, Savior, Grant graciously to me; Endow me with Thy Spirit That blest I pass to Thee!

Melchior Vulpius

1570 - 1615 Composer of "HEIDELBERG (Ach bleib mit deiner Gnade)" in Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Born into a poor family named Fuchs, Melchior Vulpius (b. Wasungen, Henneberg, Germany, c. 1570; d. Weimar, Germany, 1615) had only limited educational opportunities and did not attend the university. He taught Latin in the school in Schleusingen, where he Latinized his surname, and from 1596 until his death served as a Lutheran cantor and teacher in Weimar. A distinguished composer, Vulpius wrote a St. Matthew Passion (1613), nearly two hundred motets in German and Latin, and over four hundred hymn tunes, many of which became popular in Lutheran churches, and some of which introduced the lively Italian balletto rhythms into the German hymn tunes. His music was published in Cantiones Sacrae (1602, 1604), Kirchengesangund Geistliche Lieder (1604, enlarged as Ein schon geistlich Gesanglmch, 1609), and posthumously in Cantionale Sacrum (1646).
