(From "Das Alpenlied" ("The alpine song") by Friedrich Adolf Krummacher) Alpine Heights On Alpine heights The love of God is shed; He paints the morning red, The flowerets white and blue, And feeds them with his dew. On Alpine heights a loving Father dwells. On Alpine heights The herdsman tends his herd; His shepherd is the Lord; For he who feeds the sheep Will sure his offspring keep. On Alpine heights a loving Father dwells. (A translation of F.A. Krummacher's "Das Alpenlied" by Charles Timothy Brooks) Family His brother Gottfried Daniel Krummacher was the leader of the pietists of Wuppertal.
