Positioning the references: References may appear either at the right-hand side or at the foot of the screen. Readers can change the position of the references by changing the width of the window. To change the width, either drag the edge of the window or adjust the magnification (Ctrl+ or Ctrl- on PC, Cmd+ or Cmd- on Macintosh).

Reading the references: Use the note numerals to move back and forth between the main text and the references. The links work in both directions. The linked object will move to the top of its frame.

Opening linked files: In recent issues of JSCM, most examples, figures, and tables, along with their captions, open as overlays, covering the text until they are closed. Nevertheless, readers have choices. In most browsers, by right-clicking the hyperlink (PC or Macintosh) or control-clicking it (Macintosh), you can access a menu that will give you the option of opening the linked file (without its caption) in a new tab, or even in a new window that can be resized and moved at will.

Printing JSCM articles: Use the “print” link on the page or your browser’s print function to open a print dialog for the main text and endnotes. To print a linked file (e.g., an example or figure), either use the “print” command on the overlay or open the item in a new tab (see above).

Heinrich Grimm, Lobet den Herren alle Heiden / Es wollt uns Gott genädig sein, HGWV I 20[1]

Performance by Music for a While, directed by Thomas Synofzik, given at the Praetorius-Tage Creuzberg, September 4, 2003. Radio broadcast by Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk. Used by permission.

Lobet den Herren, alle Heiden! Preiset ihn, alle Völker!
Denn seine Gnade und Wahrheit waltet über uns in Ewigkeit.

(Praise the Lord, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!
For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.)

1 Es wollt uns Gott genädig sein
Und seinen Segen geben;
Sein Antlitz uns mit hellem Schein
Erleucht’ zum ew’gen Leben,
Daß wir erkennen seine Werk’,
Und was ihm lieb auf Erden,
Und Jesus Christus Heil und Stärk’
Bekannt den Heiden werden
Und sie zu Gott bekehren.		 May God be gracious to us
and give us his blessing;
May his face with its clear radiance
enlighten us to eternal life,
So that we understand his works
and what pleases him on earth,
and the strength and salvation of Jesus Christ
may become known to the heathen
and they may turn to God.

Lobet den Herren alle Heiden! …

2 So danken, Gott, und loben dich
Die Heiden überalle,
Und alle Welt, die freue sich
Und singe mit großem Schalle,
Daß du auf Erden Richter bist
Und läßt die Sünd’ nicht walten;
Dein Wort die Hut und Weide ist,
Die alles Volk erhalten,
In rechter Bahn zu wallen.		 Then the heathen everywhere
praise and thank you, God,
and the whole world rejoices
and sings with great joyful noise
that you are judge on earth
and do not let sin prevail;
your word is the protection and pasture
that maintains all people
to travel on pilgrimage on the right way.
3 Es danke, Gott, und lobe dich
Das Volk in guten Taten;
Das Land bringt Frucht und bessert sich,
Dein Wort ist wohl geraten.
Uns segen Vater und der Sohn,
Und segem Gott der Heil’ge Geist,
Dem alle Welt die Ehre tun,
Vor ihm sich fürchte allermeist.
Nun sprecht von Herzen: Amen!		 Let the people in their good deeds
thank you, God, and praise you;
the land produces crops and is improved,
your word is well regarded.
May the Father and the son bless us,
May God the holy spirit bless us,
to him let all the world give honour,
revere him most of all.
now from your heart say: Amen!
