How Lovely Are Those Dwellings
Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lovely are those dwellings,
That Jesus hath prepared,
Whose joy and peace celestial
No mortal ever shared;
Where God’s own ransomed children,
A never-ending throng,
To Father, Son, and Spirit
Shall raise the heav’nly song,
2 How lovely are those dwellings,
The mansions, pure and bright,
Where angels hymn their praises
In worship day and night;
Where Christ, the King of Glory,
The Lamb that once was slain,
Arrayed in heav’nly beauty,
Forevermore shall reign,
Arrayed in heav’nly beauty,
Forevermore shall reign.

My soul would wing its flight
To seek the golden city
Where God doth dwell in light.
O Jesus, grant Thy children
To trust Thy saving grace,
And in the home of glory
To see Thee face to face,
And in the home of glory
To see Thee face to face.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
1809 - 1847 Person Name: J. L. F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Composer of "[How lovely are those dwellings]" in The Junior Hymnal, Containing Sunday School and Luther League Liturgy and Hymns for the Sunday School Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes.

He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
