Composer
Charles V. Stanford (Dublin, 1852–1924): composed ENGELBERG as a setting for William W. How’s “For All the Saints” (505). The tune was published in the 1904 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern with no less than six different musical settings. It is clearly a fine congregational hymn but also a stun ning choral anthem when used with some of the additional settings that Stanford supplied. 683 THE PSALMS, BIBLE SONGS, AND HYMNS
