The German hymnbook was re-done several years ago and many of the songs were re-translated, with some significant differences between the old and new. Both versions are correct, depending on whether you're looking for the newer version, "Ich bin ein Kind von Gott" or the older version, "Ich bin ein Kind des Herrn."
I'm not sure why they changed some of the songs, though some (such as this one) were obviously changed to make them more readily doctrinally accurate. I noticed several times that those who grew up with the old German hymnbook stilll sing the old lyrics without realizing that the other people in the congregation are singing the newer lyrics.

the words for this song are actually as follows:
1. verse
Ich bin ein Kind des Herrn,
der mich zur Welt geschickt
und dort mit einem irdschen Heim
und Eltern mich beglückt.
Refrain:
Führ mich, leit mich und begleit mich
durch die Prüfungszeit.
Lehr mich alles, was ich brauch'
zur ewgen Seligkeit.
2. verse
Ich bin ein Kind des Herrn
und hab' ein hohes Ziel,
bevor verronnen ist die Zeit,
muss ich noch lernen viel.
3. verse
Ich bin ein Kind des Herrn.
Viel Segen wartet mein.
Wenn ich nur immer folgsam bin,
geh' ich zum Himmel ein.
Sorry it doesn't help for your event but I just couldn't read the other version again without cringing. I was late finding your message the first time due to unexplained gremlins in the network at home.

I am just curious if anyone has contact information for Familie Imbeck. I served in Reinbek in 1993 and got to know them very well. I'm not sure if they still live there or if they have moved. I would love any information anyone has about them.
thanks

The words you are looking for are:
Ich bin ein Kind von Gott. der mich zur Welt geschickt
und hier mit einem irdschen Heim und Eltern mich beglückt;
Führet, leitet und begleitet, daß den Weg ich find;
lehrt mich, alles das zu tun, was mich zu ihm einst bringt.
Ich bin ein Kind von Gott und hab ein hohes Ziel,
O helft mir doch, in dieser Zeit von ihm zu lernen viel.
Führet, leitet und begleitet, daß den Weg ich find;
lehrt mich, alles das zu tun, was mich zu ihm einst bringt.
Ich bin ein Kind von Gott, viel Segen wartet mein;
denn wenn ich Gottes Willen tu, werd ich einst bei ihm sein.
Führet, leitet und begleitet, daß den Weg ich find;
lehrt mich, alles das zu tun, was mich zu ihm einst bringt.

Greetings to all! Can someone (anyone, please!) email the german words to I Am A Child of God? Or tell me where to find them online? I have to teach it Saturday at youth conference and realise I don't remember the translation (if I ever sang it). Feeble, I know, but I thought it would be simple to find online. Thanks, any help much appreciated!

I received an email expressing interest in sending a condolence card to Schw. Hundt's children, so here is the address of one of the daughters, for those who are interested:
Gisela Kunz
140 N. 3rd E.
Driggs, ID 83422
Rostockerstr. 57
29225 Celle
Germany
The second address is where Schw. Hundt lived, so it will probably be temporary at best.
|

I recieved the following postcard from Schw. Hundt's (Gemeinde Celle) daughter:
"We would like to notify you of the death of
our dear Mother Wanda Hundt on Feb. 22,
2006. My sister and I would like to thank you
for your love and kindness towards her. As you know, she loved the Missionare.
Fondly,
Erika Baldauf & Gisela Kunz, her daughters"
She was a wonderful woman who had such a love for the missionaries. I think she was 93 this year. She's left a great legacy, and touched so many hearts, I thought you all would like to know.

I'm so glad I finally got the address of this website!
It's great getting in contact with all of you "Hamburg Missionaries".
Hope you will have a great reunion in september! Too bad I won' t be able to come - Germany is just a little bit too far away.
Instead, I' m planning to visit Hamburg again this year and show my husband the places where I served.
Would be happy to hear from any of you who know me. :)

Pres. Dahlquist spoke this week (12/20/05) with Schw. Hundt of Celle. She has been diagnosed with liver cancer, which has begun to spread. She is in considerable pain. According to her daughter, the doctors have not told them how long Schw. Hundt has, but this would be her last Christmas. Pres. Dahlquist thought some of you would like to know. Please remember her and her family in your prayers.

Does anyone know where to get one of those lovely navy blue ties with the Hamburg logo on it? I had a couple on my mission, but somewhere along the past 22 years they vanished. I'd love to have one again.
|

Just wanted to let anybody who was REALLY interested know that I am still alive. 22 years is a really long time. I am actually married (20 years) with 8 kids. If you remember me be assured that I will also remember you. I may be getting older but my memory is still.... Hey look! a Squirrel. Auf Wiedertschuessibyebye.

I am looking for some help with an elderly couple in my ward. They would like to visit the area were their ancestors come from. They would like some assistance when in the area with speaking the language. The area is Eschenburg. As far as I can determine the nearest branch would be Siegen. If you could help me please email Gail Marie Brimley.
Thanks

Anyone no how to get in touch with Chet Dahl. He served 1979-1981. I used to keep in touch with him, but it has been several years now, and I have lost contact.
Thank you.

I haven't seen Herbie since he was financial clerk in the office, but I can vouch for the statement that he was one of the "good guys." I'm sure that he has earned a comment from the Lord, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." If a family member sees this, please know that his memory is treasured even by one such as me who hasn't seen him for many many years.

I have heard a rumor that there will be Doeners at the fair in Clinton this summer and possibly even the Weber Co. fair. I have heard that the people who make them have applications in to get into many other fairs. I'll keep ya'll posted as I hear more.

I was the Elder that baptized Sister Kauke. I recieved an E-mail from Brother Kempski from the Hannover Gemeinde about 2 years ago. Sister Kauke passed away and brother Kauke was still active but was having health challenges of his own. That is the last that I heard. I believe brother Kempski monitors this web site and may be able to offer more info. I would also be interested. I believe Kerry Munson still has contact with Brother Kempski
