Sporon Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Jesu Død Langfredag Lyrics: 1 Naglet til et Kors paa Jorden Henger under Vredens Torden Himlens Herre og Guds Søn, Selv den eviggode Fader Ham i Kvalerne forlader, Hører tiende hans Bøn. 2 Ak, hvor ængstet og bedrøvet, Indtil Døden høit bedrøvet Er den ømme Frelsers Sjæl! Vredens fulde Kalk uddrikke Maa han, skal han, ellers ikke Naaes hans Agt og Syndres Vel. 3 Hvo kan tænke paa den Smerte Uden med at saaret Hjerte, Om endog en Synder leed? Men her leed den Evighøie,– Smelt, mit Hjerte, græd, mit Øie, Ak, her lider Hellighed! 4 For al Verdens Syndebrøde Maatte Jesus pinlig bøde, Taale Spot og Saar og Baand, Og tilsidst al Livets Kilde Maatte ogsaa dø, og vilde, Segned og opgav sin Aand. 5 Gode Frelser, kan jeg taale Kraften af en Guddoms-Straale, O, saa send den oven ned! Tend mig, at jeg maa, jeg Arme, Fuld af Aand og hellig Varme Kjende al din Kjærlighed! 6 O, lad aldrig nogensinde Korsets Træ mig gaa af Minde, Som dig, Frelsens Fyrste, bar! Men lad Kors og Død og Smerte, Tale, raabe i mit Hjerte, Hvad min Frelse kostet har! 7 Hjælp, at jeg min Synd begræder, Og mig altid varsom glæder Ved min Fred og Salighed! Kjøbt jeg blev, dit Navn ske Ære! Dyrekjøbt – ak, lad det være Varsel for mig ved hvert Fjed! 8 Af din Naade giv mig Kræfter, At jeg al Tid maa herefter, Det, jeg lever, leve dig! Dig, som døde, lad mig leve, Leve dig, som bød mig leve Ved den Død, du leed for mig! 9 Ja, Forsoner, lad mig være Ofret dig til Tak og Ære, Helliget dit Velbehag! Sonet ved den Død, du døde, Skal jeg dig frimodig møde Da paa hin den store Dag. 10 Nu, Forbarmer! jeg det haaber, Mens jeg af det Dybe raaber: Herre Jesu, styrk min Tro! Naar mit Legem dødt henfalder, Styrk min Sjæl, idet du kalder Den til Pardiests Ro! Used With Tune: [Naglet til et Kors paa Jorden]

Jesus, dine djupe vunder

Author: Joh. Heermann Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Salmar til Kyrkjeaaret Langfredag Lyrics: 1 Jesus, dine djupe Vunder Og din Daude saar og strid Huggar meg i alle Stunder, I all Naud, som Hjartat lid. Renn meg nokot Vodt i Hug, Til di Pinsla ser eg bljug; Det skal Syndehugen kjøva: Dine Saar med Synd ei høva. 2 Um mitt Kjøt og Blod vil fagna Seg med urein Lyst og Traa, Braadt all Syndelyst maa tagna, Naar eg dine Saar sær sjaa, Renner Satan inn paa meg, Som min Skjold eg syner deg; I ditt Blod han ser meg tvegen, Og so rømer han er Begen. 3 Og um Vedi vil meg daara, Lokka ut paa villan Veg Til den Lyst, som føder Taara, Daa mitt Auga ser til deg, Til den Pinsla tung og hard, Som fyr meg du tolug bar; Det mot Fresting skal meg liva Og all syndug Lyst fordriva. 4 Ja mot alt, som Hjartat røyner, Er der Livd i Dauden din. Naar me Saal i deg seg løyner, Liv og Lækjedom eg finn. Under Krossen gror den Rot, Som fyr all mi Naud giv bot. Du meg lagad Liv og Sæla, Daa du bar all Daudens Fæla. 5 Ja, paa deg mi Tru er botnad, Du min dyre Frelsarmann! Ved din Daude Dauden brotnad, So han meg ei drepa kann. At eg heve Lut i deg, Det er Sigersvon fyr meg. For din Naade vil meg giva Raad aa standa upp og liva. 6 Hev eg deg uti mitt Hjarta, Du den djupe Livsens Brunn! Lat det daa mot Gravi svarta: Livet renni Daudens Stund. Ingen Fiend skader meg, Naar eg løyner meg i deg. Den, som med din Kross seg dekkjer, Du til Livet atter vekkjer.

Gak under Jesu Kors at staa

Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Langfredag Til Høimesse Lyrics: 1 Gak under Jesu Kors at staa, O kjære Sjæl og med Attraa Sign Jesu søde Mund, giv Agt, Paa, hvad han har til Afsked sagt! 2 Fra Korsets Træ min Jesus lod, Trods Belials den bitre Flod, Fremklinge Naadens fulde Røst Mig og enhver til Liv og Trøst. 3 Han først for sine Fiender bad: O kjære Fader, dem forlad; Thi hvad de gjøre, veed de ei Saa blind' er de paa Syndens Vei! 4 O Jesus, bed du og for mig, Du ser, hvor blind og skrøbelig Jeg er i al min Vei og Værk, Men ved din Bøn jeg bliver stærk! 5 Han dermed til sin Moder saa, Hvor jammerfuld hun monne staa, Som stødt igjennem Sjæl og Liv Med Morder-Sværd og Dræbe-Kniv. 6 En anden Søn han hende gav Til Lindring trøst og Støtte-Stav: Johannes, tag dig hendes Sag Som Moders din fra denne Dag! 7 Naar jeg, o Jesus, og skal staa Forladt forhadt, med Korset paa, Ja venneløs blandt Rov og Ran, Send et Guds Barn, som ta'r mig am! 8 Den Røver, som sin Synd fortrød, Og trøsted sig i Kristi Død, For hannem brød han Dødens Ris, Og ham tilsagde Paradis. 9 Lad mig og i min sidste Stund Faa Trøst af Jesu Aand og Mund, O, lad mig daglig bedre mig, Og faa en Lod i Himmerig! 10 Det fjerde Ord vær græsseligt, Og aldrig hørte Himlen sligt: "Min Gud! min Gud! hvi haver du I denne Nød forladt mig nu!" 11 For min Skyld blev du saa forladt, Og af Guds Vrede taget fat, At aldrig jeg forlades skal I Dødens grumme Dyb og Dal. 12 Guds Vredes Ild den tæred op Al Saften af hans usle Krop. Mig tørster! sagde han og fik Af Ædike saa sur en Drik. 13 Han tag–og sagde: Det er alt Fuldkommet, som er om mig talt, Hvad Vidne Skriften om mig bær, Til Prik og Punkt fuldkommet er. 14 Saa tog du i den sure Skaal Mit vellystfulde Synde-Maal, Jeg drak af Adam Synden først, Men du fik Giften i din Tørst. 15 Des har jeg Trøst i Hjerte-Rod, At jeg en evig Glæde-Flod For din den sure Drik skal faa Fra Lammets Fryde-Strøm og Aa. 16 Derefter Jesus gav et Raab Alt fuldt af Livsens store Haab, Han sagde: Fader i din Haand Befaler jeg min Sjæl og Aand! 17 Det Ord, det Ord sig trænger ind Udi mit Hjerte, Sjæl og Sind, Gid det og bli'r det sidste Ord, Jeg tale skal paa denne Jord.

Jesus, dine dybe Vunder

Falder noget Ondt mig ind, Straks jeg tænker i mit Sind Paa din Pine, som forbyder Mig at drive Skjæmt med Lyder. 2 Om mit Kjød og Blod vil skjænke Sig med Syndelysters Skaal, Hvad du led, jeg monne tænke, Og straks finde Ro og Taal. Sætter Satan ind paa mig, Som mit Skjold jeg viser dig, Dine Saar og Blode-Strømme, Straks maa han tilbage rømme. 3 Om mig Verden vil forlede Hen paa Lysters brede Plan, Hvor der er kun syndig Glæede, Jeg da skuer, Frelsermand, Dine Piners Byrde svar, Du for mig udstandet har, Saa kan jeg i Alvor blive, Og al Verdens Lyst fordrive. 4 Ja mod al Ting, som mig krænker, Give dine Vunder Kraft, Naar sig Hjertet i dem sænker, Finder jeg ny Levesaft; Din den himmelsøde Død Vender al min Nag og Nød:– At du Salighed mig bragte, Da du Døden for mig smagte. 5 Jeg paa dig min Tro har grundet, Du min ene Tilflugt sand, Og din Død har Do∂en bundet, Saa den mig ei døde kan; At jeg haver Del i dig, Trøster, trygger, redder mig, Og din Naade mig har givet, At staa op til Lys og Livet. 6 Har jeg dig udi mit Hjerte, Du al Godheds Kilderspring, Jeg da finder ingen Smerte, End i Dødens sidste Sting.

Johann Crüger

1598 - 1662 Person Name: J. Crüger Topics: Jesu Død Langfredag Composer of "[Jesus er mit Liv i Live]" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Johann Crüger (b. Grossbriesen, near Guben, Prussia, Germany, 1598; d. Berlin, Germany, 1662) Crüger attended the Jesuit College at Olmutz and the Poets' School in Regensburg, and later studied theology at the University of Wittenberg. He moved to Berlin in 1615, where he published music for the rest of his life. In 1622 he became the Lutheran cantor at the St. Nicholas Church and a teacher for the Gray Cloister. He wrote music instruction manuals, the best known of which is Synopsis musica (1630), and tirelessly promoted congregational singing. With his tunes he often included elaborate accompaniment for various instruments. Crüger's hymn collection, Neues vollkomliches Gesangbuch (1640), was one of the first hymnals to include figured bass accompaniment (musical shorthand) with the chorale melody rather than full harmonization written out. It included eighteen of Crüger's tunes. His next publication, Praxis Pietatis Melica (1644), is considered one of the most important collections of German hymnody in the seventeenth century. It was reprinted forty-four times in the following hundred years. Another of his publications, Geistliche Kirchen Melodien (1649), is a collection arranged for four voices, two descanting instruments, and keyboard and bass accompaniment. Crüger also published a complete psalter, Psalmodia sacra (1657), which included the Lobwasser translation set to all the Genevan tunes. Bert Polman =============================== Crüger, Johann, was born April 9, 1598, at Gross-Breese, near Guben, Brandenburg. After passing through the schools at Guben, Sorau and Breslau, the Jesuit College at Olmütz, and the Poets' school at Regensburg, he made a tour in Austria, and, in 1615, settled at Berlin. There, save for a short residence at the University of Wittenberg, in 1620, he employed himself as a private tutor till 1622. In 1622 he was appointed Cantor of St. Nicholas's Church at Berlin, and also one of the masters of the Greyfriars Gymnasium. He died at Berlin Feb. 23, 1662. Crüger wrote no hymns, although in some American hymnals he appears as "Johann Krüger, 1610,” as the author of the supposed original of C. Wesley's "Hearts of stone relent, relent" (q.v.). He was one of the most distinguished musicians of his time. Of his hymn tunes, which are generally noble and simple in style, some 20 are still in use, the best known probably being that to "Nun danket alle Gott" (q.v.), which is set to No. 379 in Hymns Ancient & Modern, ed. 1875. His claim to notice in this work is as editor and contributor to several of the most important German hymnological works of the 16th century, and these are most conveniently treated of under his name. (The principal authorities on his works are Dr. J. F. Bachmann's Zur Geschichte der Berliner Gesangbücher 1857; his Vortrag on P. Gerhard, 1863; and his edition of Gerhardt's Geistliche Lieder, 1866. Besides these there are the notices in Bode, and in R. Eitner's Monatshefte für Musik-Geschichte, 1873 and 1880). These works are:— 1. Newes vollkömmliches Gesangbuch, Augspur-gischer Confession, &c, Berlin, 1640 [Library of St. Nicholas's Church, Berlin], with 248 hymns, very few being published for the first time. 2. Praxis pietatis melica. Das ist: Ubung der Gottseligkeit in Christlichen und trostreichen Gesängen. The history of this, the most important work of the century, is still obscure. The 1st edition has been variously dated 1640 and 1644, while Crüger, in the preface to No. 3, says that the 3rd edition appeared in 1648. A considerable correspondence with German collectors and librarians has failed to bring to light any of the editions which Koch, iv. 102, 103, quotes as 1644, 1647, 1649, 1650, 1651, 1652, 1653. The imperfect edition noted below as probably that of 1648 is the earliest Berlin edition we have been able to find. The imperfect edition, probably ix. of 1659, formerly in the hands of Dr. Schneider of Schleswig [see Mützell, 1858, No. 264] was inaccessible. The earliest perfect Berlin edition we have found is 1653. The edition printed at Frankfurt in 1656 by Caspar Röteln was probably a reprint of a Berlin edition, c. 1656. The editions printed at Frankfurt-am-Main by B. C. Wust (of which the 1666 is in the preface described as the 3rd) are in considerable measure independent works. In the forty-five Berlin and over a dozen Frankfurt editions of this work many of the hymns of P. Gerhardt, J. Franck, P. J. Spener, and others, appear for the first time, and therein also appear many of the best melodies of the period. 3. Geistliche Kirchen-Melodien, &c, Leipzig, 1649 [Library of St. Katherine's Church, Brandenburg]. This contains the first stanzas only of 161 hymns, with music in four vocal and two instrumental parts. It is the earliest source of the first stanzas of various hymns by Gerhardt, Franck, &c. 4. D. M. Luther's und anderer vornehmen geisU reichen und gelehrten Manner Geistliche Lieder und Psalmen, &c, Berlin, 1653 [Hamburg Town Library], with 375 hymns. This was edited by C. Runge, the publisher, and to it Crüger contributed some 37 melodies. It was prepared at the request of Luise Henriette (q.v.), as a book for the joint use of the Lutherans and the Re¬formed, and is the earliest source of the hymns ascribed to her, and of the complete versions of many hymns by Gerhardt and Franck. 5. Psalmodia Sacra, &c, Berlin, 1658 [Royal Library, Berlin]. The first section of this work is in an ed. of A. Lobwasser's German Psalter; the second, with a similar title to No. 4, and the date 1657, is practically a recast of No. 4,146 of those in 1653 being omitted, and the rest of the 319 hymns principally taken from the Praxis of 1656 and the hymn-books of the Bohemian Brethren. New eds. appeared in 1676, 1700, 1704, 1711, and 1736. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] -- Excerpt from John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ======================= Crüger, Johann, p. 271, ii. Dr. J. Zahn, now of Neuendettelsau, in Bavaria, has recently acquired a copy of the 5th ed., Berlin, 1653, of the Praxis. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

Johann Rist

1607 - 1667 Person Name: J. Rist Topics: Jesu Død Langfredag Author of "O Hjertens Ve " in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Rist, Johann, son of Kaspar Rist, pastor at Ottensen, near Hamburg, was born at Ottensen, March 8, 1607, and from his birth was dedicated to the ministry. After passing through the Johanneum at Hamburg and the Gymnasium Illustre at Bremen, he matriculated, in his 21st year, at the University of Rinteln, and there, under Josua Stegmann (q. v.), he received an impulse to hymn-writing. On leaving Rinteln he acted as tutor to the sons of a Hamburg merchant, accompanying them to the University of Rostock, where he himself studied Hebrew, Mathematics and also Medicine. During his residence at Rostock the terrors, of the Thirty Years War almost emptied the University, and Rist himself also lay there for weeks ill of the pestilence. After his recovery he seems to have spent some time at Hamburg, and then, about Michaelmas, 1633, became tutor in the house of the lawyer (Landschreiber) Heinrich Sager, at Heide, in Holstein. There he betrothed himself to Elizabeth, sister of the Judge Franz Stapfel, whose influence seems to have had a good deal to do with Rist's appointment as pastor at Wedel. In the spring of 1635 he married and settled at Wedel (on the Elbe, a few miles below Hamburg), where, spite of various offers of preferment, he remained till his death, on Aug. 31, 1667. (Johann Rist und seine Zeit, by Dr. T. Hansen, Halle, 1872; K. Goedeke's Grundriss, vol. iii., 1887, p. 79; Koch, iii., 212; Bode, p. 135, &c. The statements of the various authorities regarding the period 1624-1635 vary greatly and irreconcilably.) During the Thirty Years War Rist had much to endure from famine, plundering, and pestilence. Otherwise he led a patriarchal and happy life at Wedel, close to the congenial society of Hamburg, and as years went on more and more esteemed and honoured by his contemporaries. The Emperor Ferdinand III. crowned him as a poet in 1644, and in 1653 raised him to the nobility, while nearer home Duke Christian of Mecklenburg appointed him Kirchenrath and Consistorialrath. Among other literary honours he was received in 1645 as a member of the Pegnitz Order, and in 1647 as a member of the Fruitbearing Society, the great German literary union of the 17th century; while in 1660 he himself became the founder and head of the Elbe Swan Order, which however did not survive his death. Rist was an earnest pastor and a true patriot. He of course took the side, and that with all his might, of the Protestants, but he longed as few did for the union of the scattered elements of the body politic in Germany. He was a voluminous and many-sided writer (see the full bibliographies in Hansen and Goedeke as above). His secular works are of great interest to the student of the history of the times, and his occasional poems on marriages, &c, to the genealogist and local historian. Perhaps the most interesting to the general reader are the Friede wünschende Teutschland, 1647, and the Friedejauchzende Teutschland, 1653, two plays in which there are vivid pictures of the times, especially of the condition of the lower classes during the Thirty Years War. These plays, with selections from his other secular poems and from his hymns, are included in his Dichtungen, Leipzig, 1885, edited by Goedeke and E. Goetze. Hansen gives analyses of the secular works, with a few extracts from them; and in his second part gives a full selection from the hymns, often however greatly abridged. As a hymn-writer Rist takes high rank. He wrote some 680 hymns, intended to cover the whole ground of Theology, and to be used by all ranks and classes, and on all the occasions of life. Naturally enough they are not of equal merit, and many are poor and bombastic. Rist meant them rather for private use than for public worship, and during his lifetime they were never used in the church at Wedel. But they were eagerly caught up, set to melodies by the best musicians of the day, and speedily passed into congregational use all over Germany, while even the Roman Catholics read them with delight. Over 200 may be said to have been in common use in Germany, and a large number still hold their place. Unfortunately many are very long. But speaking of Rist's better productions, we may say that their noble and classical style, their objective Christian faith, their scriptualness, their power to console, to encourage, and to strengthen in trust upon God's Fatherly love, and their fervent love to the Saviour (especially seen in the best of his hymns for Advent, and for the Holy Communion), sufficiently justify the esteem in which they were, and are, held in Germany. The best known of Rist's hymns appeared in the following collections:— (1) Himlischs Lieder. This contains 50 hymns. The Erste Zehen is dated Lüneburg, 1641, the 2-6 Zehen are dated 1642 [Royal Library, Berlin]. In the later editions Rist made various alterations, and also expanded the titles of the hymns, these changes being almost all for the worse. (2) Neüer himlischer Lieder sonderbahres Buch, Lüneburg, 1651 [Wernigerode Library]. 50 hymns. (3) Sabbahtische Seelenlust, Lüneburg, 1651 [British Museum and Göttingen]. With 58 hymns on the Gospels for Sundays, &c. (4) Frommer und gottseliger Christen alltägliche Haussmusik, Lüneburg, 1654 [Brit. Mus. and Göttingen], with 70 hymns. (5) Neüe musikalische Fest-Andachten, Lüneburg, 1655 [Wernigerode]. With 52 hymns on the Sunday Gospels. (6) Neüe musikalische Katechismus Andachten, Lüneburg, 1656 [British Museum and Wernigerode]. With 50 hymns. Seven of Rist's hymns are separately noted under their German first lines. The others which have passed into English are:-- i. Du Lebensbrod, Herr Jesu Christ. Holy Communion.
