HISTORICAL NOTE: "Born: August 1, 1801, Hanover, Germany; Died: September 28, 1859, Burgdorf, Germany. Son of a bookkeeper and French teacher, Spitta was originally apprenticed to a watchmaker. He disliked the occupation, though, and went to the University of Göttingen to study theology. He was ordained in 1828 and became an assistant pastor near Hoya. In 1830, he became assistant chaplain to the garrison and the prison at Hammeln on the Weser River. He would have become the permanent chaplain, except for reports the military authorities received describing him as a Pietist and a Mystic. As compensation, he was made pastor at Wechold, near Hoya, in 1837. In 1847, he became Lutheran superintendent at Wittingen, at Peine in 1853, and at Burgdorf in 1859.";

Some of his more famous Hymns Include: How Blessed, from the Bonds of Sin, O selig Haus (O Happy Home), Wir sind des Herrn, wir leben oder sterben (We Are the Lord’s...);
