Nos hemos reunido

Representative Text

1 Nos hemos reunido en el nombre de Cristo
para agradecer tus bondades, oh Dios.
Con muchos cuidados nos has socorrido,
¡Bendito seas siempre, loado tu amor!

2 Nos has protegido en nuestro sendero,
nos has circundado de bienes y honor;
por eso, Dios santo, tu pueblo reunido,
a ti eleva himnos de gloria y loor.

3 Tu nombre alabamos, Señor victorioso;
en todas las luchas concédenos paz;
tu amor nos ampare, tu reino nos venga;
y a ti la gloria por siempre jamás.

Theodore Baker (b. New York, NY, 1851; d. Dresden, Germany, 1934). Baker is well known as the compiler of Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (first ed. 1900), the first major music reference work that included American composers. Baker studied music in Leipzig, Germany, and wrote a dissertation on the music of the Seneca people of New York State–one of the first studies of the music of American Indians. From 1892 until his retirement in 1926, Baker was a literary editor and translator for G. Schirmer, Inc., in New York City. In 1926, he returned to Germany.
