Guds salige Godhed og Naade

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening Lyrics: 1 Guds salige Godhed og Naade, Som haver ei Maal eller Maade, Sig alle tilkjende har givet, Indbyder os alle til Livet. 2 Den driver os alle og tugter, At bære Omvendelsens Frugter, Og Synden at sky og forlade, Som Helvede selv den at hade; 3 Al verdslig Begjæring forsage, Paa det vi maa Herren behage, Og lever vort høie Kald værdig, Gudfrygtig og tugtig, retfærdig. 4 Og efter hans salig Vilje Og Velbehag stedse os stille, Samt altid med inderlig Længsel At løses og løftes af Fængsel; 5 Den store Guds Komme forvente, Naar han de Udvalte vil hente Med Aander og Englernes Skare, Sin Helligheds Kraft aabenbare; 6 Som leed for os Pine og Smerte, At rense vort syndige Hjerte, Al Ondskab fra os at bortskjære, At vi maa hans Eiendom være; 7 Og stedse i Sind og Aand rene Af Hjertet ham troligen tjene, Den Helligaand ikke bedrøve, I alt Godt os idelig øve. 8 Det giv os, o naadige Fader, Som, ei dine Venner forlader, Paa det vi saa evig dig kunde Lovsynge med Hjerter og Munde!

Jeg veed mig en Søvn i Jesu Navn

Blix, samt følgende tillæg #570 (1897) Topics: Twenty fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Twenty fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Twenty fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening Lyrics: 1 Jeg veed mig en Søvn i Jesu Navn, Den kvæger de trætte Lemmer, Der redes en Seng i Jordens Favn, Saa moderlig hun mig gjemmer, Min Sjæl er hos Gud i Himmerig, Og Sorgerne sine glemmer. 2 Jeg ved mig en Aften-Time god, Og længes vel somme Tider, Naar jeg er af Reisen træt og mod, Og Dagen saa tungsom skrider: Jeg vilde til Sengs saa gjerne gaa, Og sovne ind sødt omsider. 3 Jeg veed mig en Morgen lys og skjøn, Der synges i Livsens Lunde, Da kommer han, Guds velsigned' Søn, Med lystelig' Ord i Munde, Da vækker han os af Søvne op Alt udi saa sæle Stunde. 4 Jeg haver den Morgen mig saa kjær, Og drager den tidt til Minde, Da synge jeg maa, og se den nær, Den Sol, som strør guld paa Tinde, Som Smaafuglen ud mod Morgenstund Op under de høie Linde. 5 Da træder Guds Søn til Gravens Hus, Hans Røst i al Verden høres, Da brydes alt Stængsel ned i Grus, De dybe Havsgrunde røres, Han raaber: Du Døde, kom herud! Og frem vi forklaret føres. 6 Da aabnes den Dør til Himlens Stad, Der nævnes de Kaarnes Navne. Gud lade os alle mødes glad, Og ingen af Vore savne! Det unde os gud for Kristi Blod, Vi maatte i Himlen havne! 7 O Jesu, træd du min Dødsseng til, Rek Haanden med Miskund over, Og siig: Denne Dreng, den Pigelil Hun er ikke død men sover! Og slip mig ei før, at op jeg staar, I Levendes Land dig lover! Languages: Norwegian Tune Title: [Jeg veed mig en Søvn i Jesu Navn]

Forsøger eder selv

Author: Joakim Breithaupt; Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #494 (1919) Topics: Twenty fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Forsøger eder selv, Om I i Troen ere, Om I ved Troens Kraft I Hjertet Jesus bære, Og om I følge ham I Kors taalmodig ind Med kjærlig Ydmyghed Og Troens rene Sind! 2 Vor Tro den er et Lys I Hjertet dybt forborgen, Som bryder deilig frem, Ret som den klare Morgen, Gjør Sjælen frydefuld, Opklaret, deilig rig, Ny, ret forandert og I Sindet Jesus lig. 3 Den øser altid af Sin Jesus rige Gaver, Og deler gjerne med Sin Næste, hvad den haver; I Jesus kan den faa Mer, end den har behov, Og Naaden lyser frem Til Herrens Pris og Lov. 4 Den tviler ei at faa, Hvad Gud i Ordet lover, Og derfor frisk sig ind I Kors og Modgang vover, Thi Troen føder Haab; Af det, den har og ser, Er den forsikret om, At finde altid mer. 5 Af Haab er Kjærlighed, Thi naar man sig paaminder, Hvor sød en Gud vi har, Og evig har og finder, Saa bryder dette ud I Hjertens Kjærlighed Endog mod den, som er Os bitter gram og vred. 6 Hvad Gud os gjør, vi da Vil gjøre mod vor Næste, Naar nogen gjør os ondt, Vi søge deres Bedste, Og bøde Andres Trods, Forfølgelse og Spot Med Forbøn, gode Ord, Og gjør dem altid Godt. 7 Naar Gud ved meget Kors Os ret paa Prøve sætter, Gjør Tro Taalmodighed, Som alt det tunge letter, Den dæmper Kjødets Knur Og tager bønnen fat, Og veed, at al vor Nød Gud Vei og Maal har sat. 8 Ransag, om Kristus sig Udi din Sjæl forklarer; Thi det er Kristi Liv, Som Troen aabenbarer, Den gjør retfærdig først, Saa hellig, giver Lyst Og Kraft til Gjerning god, Er dette i dit Bryst? 9 O Jesus, styrk du mig I Troen alle Dage! Saa skal et helligt Liv Og Levnet og tiltage; Hvor Lyset er, der maa Og Glansen ytre sig; O lær mig, at jeg ret Og al Tid følger dig! Languages: Norwegian

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Composer of "[When along life's thorny road]" in The Lutheran Hymnary As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Composer of "OLD HUNDREDTH" in Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation. The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life. Bert Polman

James Montgomery

1771 - 1854 Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Author of "Our heav'nly Father, hear" in Evangelical Lutheran hymnal James Montgomery (b. Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, 1771; d. Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, 1854), the son of Moravian parents who died on a West Indies mission field while he was in boarding school, Montgomery inherited a strong religious bent, a passion for missions, and an independent mind. He was editor of the Sheffield Iris (1796-1827), a newspaper that sometimes espoused radical causes. Montgomery was imprisoned briefly when he printed a song that celebrated the fall of the Bastille and again when he described a riot in Sheffield that reflected unfavorably on a military commander. He also protested against slavery, the lot of boy chimney sweeps, and lotteries. Associated with Christians of various persuasions, Montgomery supported missions and the British Bible Society. He published eleven volumes of poetry, mainly his own, and at least four hundred hymns. Some critics judge his hymn texts to be equal in quality to those of Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley . Many were published in Thomas Cotterill's Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1819 edition) and in Montgomery's own Songs of Zion (1822), Christian Psalmist (1825), and Original Hymns (1853). Bert Polman ======================== Montgomery, James, son of John Montgomery, a Moravian minister, was born at Irvine, Ayrshire, Nov. 4, 1771. In 1776 he removed with his parents to the Moravian Settlement at Gracehill, near Ballymena, county of Antrim. Two years after he was sent to the Fulneck Seminary, Yorkshire. He left Fulneck in 1787, and entered a retail shop at Mirfield, near Wakefield. Soon tiring of that he entered upon a similar situation at Wath, near Rotherham, only to find it quite as unsuitable to his taste as the former. A journey to London, with the hope of finding a publisher for his youthful poems ended in failure; and in 1792 he was glad to leave Wath for Shefield to join Mr. Gales, an auctioneer, bookseller, and printer of the Sheffield Register newspaper, as his assistant. In 1794 Mr. Gales left England to avoid a political prosecution. Montgomery took the Sheffield Register in hand, changed its name to The Sheffield Iris, and continued to edit it for thirty-one years. During the next two years he was imprisoned twice, first for reprinting therein a song in commemoration of "The Fall of the Bastille," and the second for giving an account of a riot in Sheffield. The editing of his paper, the composition and publication of his poems and hynms, the delivery of lectures on poetry in Sheffield and at the Royal Institution, London, and the earnest advocacy of Foreign Missions and the Bible Society in many parts of the country, gave great variety but very little of stirring incident to his life. In 1833 he received a Royal pension of £200 a year. He died in his sleep, at the Mount, Sheffield, April 30, 1854, and was honoured with a public funeral. A statue was erected to his memory in the Sheffield General Cemetery, and a stained glass window in the Parish Church. A Wesleyan chapel and a public hall are also named in his honour. Montgomery's principal poetical works, including those which he edited, were:— (1) Prison Amusements, 1797; (2) The Wanderer of Switzerland, 1806; (3) The West Indies, 1807; (4) The World before the Flood, 1813; (5) Greenland and Other Poems, 1819; (6) Songs of Zion, 1822; (7) The Christian Psalmist, 1825; (8) The Christian Poet, 1825; (9) The Pelican Island, 1828; (10) The Poet’s Portfolio, 1835; (11) Original Hymns for Public, Private, and Social Devotion, 1853. He also published minor pieces at various times, and four editions of his Poetical Works, the first in 1828, the second in 1836, the third in 1841, and the fourth in 1854. Most of these works contained original hymns. He also contributed largely to Collyer's Collection, 1812, and other hymnbooks published during the next 40 years, amongst which the most noticeable was Cotterill's Selections of 1819, in which more than 50 of his compositions appeared. In his Christian Psalmist, 1825, there are 100 of his hymns, and in his Original Hymns, 1853, 355 and 5 doxologies. His Songs of Zion, 1822, number 56. Deducting those which are repeated in the Original Hymns, there remain about 400 original compositions. Of Montgomery's 400 hymns (including his versions of the Psalms) more than 100 are still in common use. With the aid of Montgomery's MSS. we have given a detailed account of a large number.

At the same time he did not hesitate to alter, rearrange, and amend the productions of others. The altered texts which appeared in Cotterill's Selections, 1819, and which in numerous instances are still retained in some of the best hymnbooks, as the "Rock of Ages," in its well-known form of three stanzas, and others of equal importance, were made principally by him for Cotterill's use. We have this confession under his own hand. As a poet, Montgomery stands well to the front; and as a writer of hymns he ranks in popularity with Wesley, Watts, Doddridge, Newton, and Cowper. His best hymns were written in his earlier years. In his old age he wrote much that was unworthy of his reputation. His finest lyrics are "Angels from the realms of glory," "Go to dark Gethsemane," "Hail to the Lord's Anointed," and "Songs of praise the angels sang." His "Prayer is the soul's sincere desire," is an expanded definition of prayer of great beauty; and his "Forever with the Lord" is full of lyric fire and deep feeling. The secrets of his power as a writer of hymns were manifold. His poetic genius was of a high order, higher than most who stand with him in the front rank of Christian poets. His ear for rhythm was exceedingly accurate and refined. His knowledge of Holy Scripture was most extensive. His religious views were broad and charitable. His devotional spirit was of the holiest type. With the faith of a strong man he united the beauty and simplicity of a child. Richly poetic without exuberance, dogmatic without uncharitableness, tender without sentimentality, elaborate without diffusiveness, richly musical without apparent effort, he has bequeathed to the Church of Christ wealth which could onlv have come from a true genius and a sanctified! heart. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
