NOTES

T R A D I T I O N A L W O R S H I P

The opening hymn is one of the grandest of all. There arefew hymns where the predominant theme is that of thanksto God. Martin Rinkarts (1586-1649) is one such hymn. Itwas originally written to be a short prayer before meals.Rinkart was a Lutheran pastor who lived and served inEilenberg, Germany during the Thirty Years War. Since itwas a walled city, many people came to seek refuge andsafety. A plague broke out and Rinkart conducted nearly4,500 funerals, sometimes 40-50 a day including thatof his own wife. Stanza one and two of the hymn wereinspired by the Apocryphal book of Ecclesiasticus (50:22-

24) and the final verse was a setting of the Gloria Patri.When you think of the circumstances of Rinkarts own lifeand stress in ministry (at the end, he was the only ministerleft in the city), the hymn is all the more glorious. Truly, heforgot what was behind and looked forward to the glory ofbeing with his Savior. He finally succumbed to death at the

age of sixty-two, leaving us one of the great hymns of theChristian faith. - Dr. Dan Sharp

*Passing of the PeaceSt. Paul always greeted with the words, The peace of God be

with you. This is an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers

and sisters in Christ, and so we say, The peace of the Lord be

with you and respond, And also with you. We then pass this

greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peacewe should earnestly desire Gods peace upon each person we

greet.
