Daniel Rumpius (orDaniel Rump; 1549 – c. 1600) was a German Lutheran theologian, minister andhymnwriter.

Rump worked in Stepenitz, now part ofMarienfließ, 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 inUelzen in 1587 the song bookletLiedbüchlein / Darinn begriffen Lehre / Trost / Vermanung … including doctrine, consolation and admonition. Only one copy is extant, held by theHerzog August Bibliothek inWolfenbüttel.^[1] One of its songs, the Advent "Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen" with a melody byMichael Praetorius, is part of the current Protestant hymnalEvangelisches Gesangbuch as EG 69.^[2]
