Henry Jackson van Dyke Jr. (November 10, 1852 – April 10, 1933) was an American author, educator, diplomat, and clergyman. Among his popular writings are the two Christmas stories, “The Other Wise Man” (1896) and “The First Christmas Tree” (1897). Various religious themes of his work are also expressed in his poetry, hymns and the essays collected in Little Rivers (1895) and Fisherman’s Luck (1899). He wrote the lyrics to the popular hymn, “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” (1907), sung to the tune of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”. He compiled several short stories in The Blue Flower (1902), named after the key symbol of Romanticism introduced first by Novalis. He also contributed a chapter to the collaborative novel, The Whole Family (1908).
