Jeg veed at evigt Himmerig
Author: Hans Sthen Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #105 (1919) Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Jeg veed et evigt Himmerig,
Som ei med Guld det røde
Er smykket ud saa prydelig,
Men med Guds Ord bet søde.
2 Der bor min Herre Jesus Krist,
Som er Guds Søn den fromme,
Min Brudgom kjær mig venter vist,
Og beder til sig komme.
3 En Pilegrim er jeg forsand,
Og snart hat Reisen Ende,
Da gaar jeg til mit Fædreland,
Mig kan ei bedre hænde.
4 Jeg fattig hid til Verden kom,
Saa ringe var min Stamme,
Gaar herfra ud med Haanden tom,
Mig følger Død hin gramme.
5 Dog er jeg vis, at denne Krop
I Døden ei skal blive,
Men skal ved Guds Søns Kraft staa op,
Han vil mig Glæden give.
6 Da opnaar jeg, det er min Tro,
Som her led megen Plage,
For Sorg og Strid Guds Fred og Ro
I Evighedens Dage.
7 Jeg skilles fra al Usseldom
Paa denne Jordens Tue,
Min Herre Jesus raaber: Kom!
Du tør slet ikke grue.
8 Jeg dig forløste med mit Blod,
Og elskte dig af Hjerte,
Vær derfor du kun ved godt Mod,
Jeg døve vil din Smerte!
9 Har du mig kjær, min Hjertens Skat,
Hvi vil du dig saa krænke?
Thi paa din Synd, som er forladt,
Jeg aldrig mer vil tænke.
10 Naar Verden al som Flyvesand
Med Guld og Glæde viger,
Da staar jeg hos din høire Haand,
Den Ven, dig aldrig sviger.
11 Thi lader os i Evighed
Gud takke allesammen
For hans den store Miskundhed
Ved Jesus Kristus! Amen.

Jeg veed at evigt Himmerig
Midt igjennem Nød og Fare
Author: Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #106 (1919) Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Midt igjennem Nød og Fare
Veien gaar til Paradis.
O du Lammets Brudeskare,
Du maa gjennem Torneris,
Du maa over Berg og Dal
Hjem til Zions Brudesal!
Dog – det bliver let at glemme
Første Øieblik derhjemme.
2 Ei, saa lad dig intet trykke,
Jesu Brud, paa denne Jord,
Efterdi hun er, din Lykke,
Saa sorunderlig og stor!
Er du dog saa salig her,
Hvor langt mere evig der!
Faa Minutter om at gjøre,
Kan man dig for Thronen høre.
3 Derfor, Fader uden Lige,
Sendte du din Søn herned,
Os at vinde Himmerige,
Som med Usseldommen stred.
Ham vi favne frydelig,
Og vort Støv skal takke dig
Her og hist med mange, mange
Evig søde Brudesange.

His hymns number nearly 2000. The best known are “Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us” and "Saviour, breathe an evening blessing."
