Daniel Rumpius (or Daniel Rump; 1549 – c. 1600) was a German Lutheran theologian, minister and hymnwriter.

Rump worked in Stepenitz, now part of Marienfließ, and at the nuns' monastery there, Nonnenstift Marienfließ [de] which had turned Protestant. He wrote several sacred songs and hymns, partly adapted from secular models. He suffered a fire in his village, losing his property, and was severely sick. Reconvalescent, he began again to write poetry, calling it "singing songs with tears" ("mit Tränen Lieder zu singen").[1]

He published in Uelzen in 1587 the song booklet Liedbüchlein / Darinn begriffen Lehre / Trost / Vermanung … including doctrine, consolation and admonition. Only one copy is extant, held by the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel.[1] One of its songs, the Advent "Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen" with a melody by Michael Praetorius, is part of the current Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch as EG 69.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
