weary and downcast, distressed by joy run

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:45.359
away tell Christ. Mr Edmond Simon

4
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:52.520

attended several universities and theology seminars and
was pastor of a Protestant congregation. He

6
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.719
published more than fifty books of music
for solo choirs, male and female,

7
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:14.680
as well as music for organ,
scores and cantatas. He was also the

00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.359
founder of two monthly English choir magazines, Quare Heatld and Quare Leader, and

German choir magazine. He founded his own

Four years later it was translated into
English and from this language into Spanish.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.280

in the Christian repertoire and has been

15
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.159
sung by millions of people around the
world, carrying the message that we should

00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.079
all trust Christ
