Die Himmel rühmen des Ewigen Ehre
"" (The heavens praise the glory of the Eternal), Op.
48/4, is a composition for voice and piano by Ludwig van Beethoven, setting the beginning of Christian Fürchtegott Gellert's poem "" (The glory of God from nature), a paraphrase of Psalm 19.
Beethoven composed it as part of a collection of lieder on texts by Gelllert, which was published in 1803, known as Six Gellert Lieder.
"Die Himmel rühmen des Ewigen Ehre" became famous in arrangements for choir, "Die Himmel rühmen!"
by Joseph Dantonello, and "The Heavens are Telling" by Virgil Thomson.
Beethoven wrote the lied for voice and piano as the fourth of a collection of six lieder on texts by Gellert.
Gellert's poem in six stanzas, "", appeared first in his 1757 collection "Geistliche Oden und Lieder" (Spiritual odes and songs).
It is a paraphrase of Psalm 19 ("The heavens declare the glory of God").
Like the psalm, the poem speaks of the Creator's magnificence showing in the wonders of nature, which suited natural theology, popular during Gellert's lifetime.
The poem was set to music for voice and continuo in Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Gellert Odes and Songs.
in 1758, among several others.
Beethoven set the first two stanzas of the poem.
It was published as No.
4 in a collection of six lieder by Beethoven on texts by Gellert in 1803.
In the collection, it bears the same title as the poem, and begins "".
Beethoven's setting was arranged for four-part choir, organ and orchestra by , which became one of the most popular spiritual songs.
It was arranged for organ and choir as "The Heavens are Telling" in 1925 by Virgil Thomson while he was a student at Harvard University, which became popular in the United States.
Thomas Doss wrote a transcription for wind band with optional choir.
An English version, "The heavens are telling the Lord's endless glory", with Beethoven's melody has appeared in four hymnals.
In the collection Op.
48, Beethoven set six texts by Gellert, all with religious themes, entitled:
Five songs are marked in German, while only the last one has a conventional Italian marking.
The first song begins "Gott, deine Güte reicht so weit" (God, your mercy reaches far), alluding to Psalm 108:4.
It is marked "Feierlich und mit Audacht" (Solemnly and with devotion).
The second song, "So jemand spricht: Ich liebe Gott!"
(If someone says: I love God), is marked "Lebhaft doch nicht zu sehr" (Lively but not too much).
The third song, "Meine Lebenszeit verstreicht" (My life time is passing by) is marked " Mässig und eher langsam als geschwind" (Moderately and rather slow than fast).
The fifth song claims "Gott ist mein Lied!"
(God is my song), marked "Mit Kraft und Feuer" (With strength and fire).
The final penitential song begins "An dir allein, an dir hab ich gesündigt" (Against you alone against you I have I sinned), and is marked "Poco adagio" (Somewhat slow).
Beethoven dedicated the collection to Count Johann Georg von Browne.
Gellert's text is close to the beginning of Psalm 19 in the first two stanzas, which are the only ones that Beethoven used.
Beethoven ignored the two stanzas of the poem, structuring the text differently as a ternary form, ABA.
He used the first two lines for a solemn A section; the following four (two from the first stanza and two from the second) for a softer, narrating middle section, beginning with "Ihn rühmt der Erdkreis" (The circle of the world praises Him); and the final two lines for a slightly modified repeat of the beginning, with the text "Sie kommt und leuchtet" (He comes and illuminates), the second half of the second stanza.
The music in C major and alla breve-time is marked "Majestätisch und erhaben" (Majestic and sublime).
The music opens with two measures of solemn chords by the piano.
The motif of a downward broken major triad is also found in other compositions by Beethoven dealing with solemn topics, such as the "Dona nobis pacem" from his Missa solemnis.
Beethoven's song and its adaptations became part of music collections, concerts and recordings, with "Die Himmel rühmen!"
sometimes chosen as the title.
The German pop singer Heino chose the song as the title and motto of four church concert series in Germany.

Thomas Bendyshe
Thomas Bendyshe (1827–1886) was an English barrister and academic, known as a magazine proprietor and translator.
He was the fourth son of John Bendyshe R.N.
and his wife Catherine Matcham, a niece of Lord Nelson.
He was educated at Eton College, and matriculated at King's College, Cambridge in 1845, graduating B.A.
in 1849 and M.A.
in 1852.
Bendyshe was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1848, and was called to the bar in 1857.
He became in 1846 a Fellow of King's College, a position he kept for the rest of his life.
In college matters, Bendyshe as a Senior Fellow objected to financial reforms.
Considered "eccentric", he obstructed them for nearly 20 years, and was the only Fellow to claim money in a compromise solution proposed by the Visitor.
A settlement, the Eirenicon, emerged in 1872.
The memoirs of Augustus Austen Leigh record Bendyshe's 1870 effort to retain the right to dine separately in the college hall.
According to Montague Rhodes James, Richard Okes, Provost before Leigh, brought to all college meetings a piece of paper with a reprimand of the Visitor to Bendyshe, in case he ever attended, for a "profane letter he had sent to the Dean."
Bendyshe died at Buckland, Kent on 21 July 1886.
Bendyshe was a vice-president of the Anthropological Society.
This was at the period, during the American Civil War, during which Thomas Henry Huxley and John Lubbock, in the Darwinian evolutionary camp, were using the long-established Ethnological Society to attack this new rival, described by Desmond as "ultra-racist".
In 1865 Bendyshe bought "The Reader", a magazine set up by Thomas Hughes and Norman Lockyer.
Its science section, written by Lockyer, had been used to publicise the views of the Darwinian X Club.
Bendyshe frustated them by this move, closing down the science section.
He edited "The Reader" for something under a year, the end coming in January 1867.
Alfred Russel Wallace took it well, telling Darwin that Bendyshe was "the most talented man" in the Anthropological Society.<ref>John F. Byrne, ""The Reader": A Review of Literature, Science and the Arts, 1863-67", Victorian Periodicals Newsletter No.
