Life

Christiana Cunradina was the daughter of Melchior Tilesius (1554-1603), who was the rector of the grammar school in Brieg. She learned to read and write at an early age and was considered an educated woman of her time. The evangelical clergyman Johann Caspar Eberti described them in his work, Silesia 's Highly and Welfare Woman, published in 1727, as "clever and sensible". Her parents died early. In 1607 she married the doctor, historian and poet Caspar Cunradi (1571–1633) and gave birth to ten children. Her eldest son Christian Cunrad (1608–1671) was a doctor and poet; her second eldest son Johann Henrich Cunrad (1612–1685) was a Silesian historian. His work Silesia Togata was published in Liegnitz in 1704 .

Of their own works, the hymn is Lord Christ, yours I have received from the beginning of the world . Her husband may also have been the author. The song was first published in Ara manalis in 1626 without being named, and it was published posthumously in 1644 in Breslau in the Geistliche Kirchen- und Hauss-music by Georg Baumann in the section on the protection of the Christian churches and the attainment of peace . 1711 called George Scultetus in Hymnopei Silesiorum Christiana Cunradina draftsperson. Paul Pressel (1824–1898), theologian from Tübingen, published it in The Spiritual Poetry from Luther to Klopstock and named her as the author. Shortened to four verses , it was included in the Evangelical Hymnbook . The song has a total of seven verses, each beginning with the line Mr. Christ, I am yours . The last two verses in The Evangelical Song of Solace and the Consolation of the Evangelical Song around the Thirty Years' War (1862) read :

"

Lord Christ, I am yours
In all eternity
To show your kindness
Do not part with you.
The devil, world and sins
Because they almost chase after me
You help me overcome
So that they don't fall me.
Lord Christ, I am yours
In life and in death
You will show me your kindness
Even in the distress of death
Let me part gently
The soul of my body
To you in eternal joy
And stay with you forever. "
- Christina Cunradina : The song was first published in Ara manalis in 1626 without any attribution .
