Author: Joh. N. Brun Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Lad os bede Lysets Fader, Som sit Navn blandt os har sat At han os ei overlader Til en hedensk Visdoms Nat! At ei nogen andet veed Sig til Trøst og Salighed, End den Gud og Mand, som døde For vor Syndeskyld og Brøde! 2 Giv din Kirke Mænd og Fædre, Som er dig og Sandhed tro! Alle dannes til det Bedre, Klintenvisne, Hveden gro! Troskab Løn af Naade faa, Hykleri til Skamme staa! Sandhed herske, Løgn adspredes, Gudsfrygt æres, Kirken fredes! 3 Da vi glædes kan med Rette Paa vor Alle-Heldens-Dag. Gud den Helligaand udrette I os Herrens Velbehag, Kalde og forsamle her Til at møde engang der, Hvor vi evig skulle smage Alle Helgens Frydedage!

I Dag er Naadens Tid

Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Twenty fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 I Dag er Naadens Tid, I Dag er Gud at finde, Nu kan alvorlig Flid Hans milde Hjerte vinde, Op, op til Bedrings Graad Og efter Jesus jag, Men snart, det er mit Raad, Nu heder det: i Dag! 2 Se, hvor behagelig Fremskinner Naadens Straale! Men det, at bedre sig, Kan ei Forhaling taale; Maaske din Klokke slaar I Dag sit sidst Slag– Nu læges Sjalesaar, Nu heder det: i Dag! 3 I Dag begynd, og spar Det ikke til i Morgen, Hvad Morgendagen har At vente, er forborgen; Forhaling bør ei ske I saadan vigtig Sag, Nu faar du op at se, Nu heder der: i Dag! 4 Træng i Guds Arme ind, Og fat din Jesu Hjerte, Det koste i dit Sind Ihvad det vil for Smerte; Til Kronen gaar man ei Udi sin gode Mag, Træng ind, nu er der Vei, Nu heder der: i Dag! 5 I Dag maaske du kan Fuldende dine Dage, At Timeglassets Sand Har intet mer tilbage; Se, hvilken Vredes Sky! Søg Naadens Skjul og Tag I Jesu Vunders Ly! Nu heder der: i Dag! 6 Endnu er Hjælp at faa For knuste Hjerters Raaben, Endnu er Gud at naa, Endnu er Himlen aaben; End Hører du hans Ord Til Kjærlighed Fordrag, Endnu er naaden stor, Nu heder der: i Dag! 7 Et lidet Øieblik Er al vor Levnets Dage, Den kaade Ungdoms Skik Lad derfor rent tilbage; Betænk dit Sjæle-Gavn Og Himlens søde Smag, Vend om i Jesu Navn! Nu heder der: i Dag! 8 Det er en liden Stund, Saa lukkes Himlens Døre; Begræd de mange Pund, Endnu er Naaden større, Og vinker dig henind I Jesu Favnetag; Men skynd dig som en Hind, Nu heder det: i Dag! 9 Som Varnet ikke før I Moders Arm vil tie, Saaaledes Sjælen bør, Som føler syndens Svie, I Verden svigersød Ei finde mer Behag, Men kun i Naadens Skjod; Nu heder der: i Dag! 10 Ak, evig Evighed! Den maatte nok betænkes, Hvor de Frodømte ned I Vredens Sø skal sænkes! Hvor er der godt hos Gud! O, kom da, Hjerte, tag Mod Naadens søde Bud I Dag, i Dag, i Dag! Text Sources: Ukj. tysk Forfatter

Come, my Savior, Thou hast promised, quickly come. Used With Tune: [O'er the distant mountains breaking]

Vor Brudgom op er standen Og kommer med en Fart, Op, vaager med hinanden, Nu erdet Midnat snart! 2 Hver gjøre Lampen færdig, At I kan rede staa Og vorde agtet værdig, Med Brudgommen at gaa; Thi Zions Vægtre raabe: Vor Brudgom nu er nær, O, møder ham tilhobe I Troens Frydefærd! 3 I Jomfruer, saa mange, Som ere ved Forstand, O kommer, ud at gange Imod vor Frelsermand! Ser Himlens aabne Porte Og Brylluppet bered! Han ikke langt er borte, Som hedder Zions Fred! 4 Ser op, gaar ham imøde, Han er, nu er han her! Ser Træets Topper gløde, Saa er vor sommer nær! Ser, hvor saa klart frembryder Den røde Aftensky, Som os den Dag betyder, Naar al vor Nat maa fly! 5 Bort derfor, Søvnens Taage! Hvo vaager, han er vis. Enhver, som ei vil vaage, Skal føle Vredens Ris, Fordærvelse og Plage; Thi alle Vredens kar For evig da skal smage Den Helvedpine svar. 6 Men møder ham, I Fromme, Med Fryd og Glædes Lyd! Vor Sorrigs Tid er omme, Til Klagen Afsked byd! O, ser dog Frydestunden, Som bærer Kronen from, Nu er den snart oprunden, Nu hentes Bruden hjem! 7 I, som med Jesus lider I denne Grædedal, Skal efter Sorgens Tider Faa Fryd i Himlens Sal, Med ham I skal regjere,– Hvo kan vel det forstaa?– Og evig triumfere Med Ærens Krone paa. 8 O Jesus, lad det komme Dog snart dertil engang, At alle dine Fromme Maa mode dig med Sang! Gjør, Jesus, snart en Ende Paa dines haarde Strid, Og lad min Lampe brænde Til min Forløsningstid! Languages: Norwegian

O kjære Sjæl, frygt aldrig mer

Author: Kingo Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #558 (1919) Topics: Twenty fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Twenty fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Twenty fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O kjære Sjæl, frygt aldrig mer, Om al Ting surt i Verden ser, Og Herrens store Domme For Syndens Skyld vil falde ind, Vær dog frimodig udi Sind, Lad, hvad der vil, kun komme, Gud kjender dog de Fromme! 2 Jeg gruer ei, om jeg end saa, Al Verden vilde undergaa, Og ei, om Himlens Vrede I Luft og Hav og Jorden skjød Fordærvelse og giftig Død, Min Jesus skal dog lede Mig ud, og for mig bede. 3 Thi jeg ved Herrens gode Aand Beseglet er, og i Guds Haand Indtegnet udaf Naade; Han aldrig mig forglemme kan, Det trot jeg vist, og beder, han Vil ene for mig raade I Velstand og i Vaade. 4 Og, mens jeg er en Vandringsmand Paa Jorden, og til Himlens Land Meg Hu og Hjerte stunder, Jeg een udaf Guds Helgen er, Som udi Stride-Kirken her paa Jesu Død og Vunder Min Tro og Frelse grunder. 5 Imidlertid jeg frygte maa, Og idelig bevæbnet staa Mod Satan, Synd og Laster, Indtil min sidste Fiende faar Ved Jesu Død sit Banesaar, Som Døden fuldt omkaster, Hvor hart den mod mig haster. 6 Hvad Møie, Trængsel mig har mødt Fra første Dag, at jeg blev født, Det skal jeg nok forglemme, Naar jeg i Seier-Kirken skal Blandt Englenes og Helgens Tal Guds evig' Ære fremme Med Engle-Maal og Stemme. 7 Min Kjortel tor min Jesus hvid Udi sit Blod i Naadens Tid; Han vil mig ogsaa give Den lange, hvide Kjortel paa Hvormed jeg skal for Thronen staa, Der Engle lig at blive Og al min Sorg fordrive. 8 Da skal jeg faa i Hænde fat Den Seiers-Palme, som er sat til stor Triumf og Ære For Seieren, som Jesus lod Mig vinde ved sin Død og Blod: Den skal min Glæde være Som Seiers-Tegn at bære. 9 Da skal jeg for den Salighed, Som ved Guds Lam er mig bered, Gud Fader Ære sige, Hvortil Guds Helgen stemme vil, Og lægge deres Amen til, Som udi Himmerige Al Sans skal overstige. 10 Min Sjæl alt fuld af Længsel er, Og længes, mens jeg lever her, O Jesus, til den Glæde, Hvor alle Helgen tjene dig, Udi dit søde Himmerig: O, naar vil du tilstede Mig did henop at træde! 11 Hvor Modgang, Sygdom, Sorgers Kval Til Glæde sig forandre skal, Og mig ei mer omspende, Men al min Graad skal tørres af; Saa gaar jeg trøstig til min Grav Fra denne Tids Elende, Og faar en salig Ende.

Hopkins, 1818—1901 Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Composer of "[O'er the distant mountains breaking]" in The Lutheran Hymnary Dr Edward John Hopkins MusDoc United Kingdom 1818-1901. Born at Westminster, England, the son of a clarinetist with the Royal Opera House orchestra, he became an organist (as did two of his brothers) and a composer. In 1826 he became a chorister of the Chapel Royal and sang at the coronation of King William IV in Westminster Abbey. He also sang in the choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral, a double schedule requiring skill and dexterity. On Sunday evenings he would play the outgoing voluntary at St. Martin’s in-the-field. He left Chapel Royal in 1834 and started studying organ construction at two organ factories. He took an appointment at Mitcham Church as organist at age 16, winning an audition against other organists. Four years later he became organist at the Church of St. Peter, Islington. In 1841 he became organist at St. Luke’s, Berwick St., Soho. Two Years later he was organist at Temple Church, which had a historic organ (built in 1683). He held this position for 55 years. In 1845 he married Sarah Lovett, and they had four sons and five daughters. He was closely associated with the Bach Society and was organist for the first English performances of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. In 1855 he collaborated with Edward Rimbault publishing “The organ, its history and construction” (3 editions 1855-70-77). In 1864 he was one of the founders of the “College of organists”. In 1882 he received an honorary Doctorate of Music from the Archbishop of Canterbury. He composed 30+ hymn tunes and some psalm chants, used by the Church of England. He died in London, England.

John S. B. Monsell

1811 - 1875 Person Name: J.S.B. Monsell Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Author of "O'er the distant mountains breaking" in The Lutheran Hymnary John Samuel Bewley Monsell (b. St. Colomb's, Londonderry, Ireland, 1811; d. Guilford, Surrey, England, 1875) was educated at Trinity College in Dublin and served as a chaplain and rector of several churches in Ireland after his ordination in 1835. Transferred to England in 1853, he became rector of Egham in Surrey and was rector of St. Nicholas Church in Guilford from 1870 until his death (caused by a construction accident at his church). A prolific poet, Monsell published his verse in eleven volumes. His three hundred hymns, many celebrating the seasons of the church year, were issued in collections such as Hymns and Miscellaneous Poems (1837), Spiritual Songs (1857), Hymns of Love and Praise (1863), and The Parish Hymnal (1873). Bert Polman =============================== Monsell, John Samuel Bewley, L.L.D., son of Thomas Bewley Monsell, Archdeacon of Londonderry, was born at St. Columb's, Londonderry, March 2,1811, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin (B.A. 1832, LL.D. 1856). Taking Holy Orders in 1834, "he was successively Chaplain to Bishop Mant, Chancellor of the diocese of Connor, Rector of Ramoan, Vicar of Egham, diocese Worcester, and Rector of St. Nicholas's, Guildford. He died in consequence of a fall from the roof of his church, which was in the course of rebuilding, April 9, 1875. His prose works include Our New Vicar, 1867; The Winton Church Catechist, &c. His poetical works are:— (1) Hymns and Miscellaneous Poems, Dublin, W. Curry, Jun., & Co., 1837; (2) Parish Musings, or Devotional Poems, 1850; (3) Spiritual Songs for the Sundays and Holy Days throughout the Year. 1857 (People's Ed., 1875); (4) His Presence, not His Memory, 1855, 1858; (5) Hymns of Love and Praise for the Church's Year, 1863 (2nd ed. 1866); (6) The Passing Bell; Ode to The Nightingales, and Other Poems, 1867; (7) Litany Hymns, 1869; (8) The Parish Hymnal after the Order of The Book of Common Prayer, 1873; (9)Watches by the Cross, 1874; (10) Simon the Cyrenian; and Other Poems; (11) Nursery Carols. In these works several hymns which appeared in the earlier books are repeated in the later, and thus at first sight his compositions seem to be more in number than they really are. The total amounts to nearly 300, and of these about one-fourth are in common use. The most popular of these are, "God is love; that anthem olden"; "God of that glorious gift of grace"; "Holy offerings, rich and rare"; “Lord of the living harvest"; "Mighty Father, Blessed Son"; and "Sing to the Lord a joyful song."

Dr. Monsell’s hymns are as a whole bright, joyous, and musical; but they lack massiveness, concentration of thought, and strong emotion. A few only are of enduring excellence. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology 1907 ===================== Monsell, J, S. B., p. 762, ii. Additional hymns in common use include:— 1. Blessed Lord, Who, till the morning. Holy Scriptures. From his Spiritual Songs, 1857. 2. Christ incarnate in His poor. Christ in His Poor. From his Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863. 3. We ask for life, and mean thereby. Life and Work. From his Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ==================== Monsell, J. S. B. Since the article on pp. 762-3 was written, copies of the original editions of Dr. Monsell's works have come into our hands, and from them we have to make the following corrections, the numbers following being those given to the first lines of the hymns on pp. 762-3:— 15. So teach me, &c. Hymns and Misc. Poems, 1837, p. 30. 17. The broken, &c. Hymns and Misc. Poems, 1837, p. 49. 18. Thou art near, &c. Hymns and Misc. Poems, 1837, p. 21. 19. Would'st thou, &c. Hymns and Misc. Poems, 1837, p. 14. 26. Loved by God, &c. Parish Hymnal, 1873, No. 181. 27. Mercy, mercy, &c. Prayers and Litanies, 1861, p. 119. 28. My head is low, &c. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1866, p. 125. 33. O Love divine, &c. Hymns of Love and Praise, p. 131. 38. The journey done, &c. Hymns of Love and Praise, p. 134. 40. Weary and sad, &c. Parish Hymnal, 1873, No. 209. 41-50. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863. 51. See "Day of loss," &c, p. 282, i. 52. Labouring, &c. Prayers and Litanies, 1861, p. 116. 53-57. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863. 58. Pity on us, &c. Prayers and Litanies, 1861, p. 125. 59. Praise the Lord, &c. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863, p. 13. 60. 61, 62, 64, 65. Prayers and Litanies, 1861. 63, 66-70. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863. 72. My sins, &c. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1866, p. 34. 73. I hunger, &c. Hymns of Love and Praise, 1866, p. 128. It will be seen from this list of additions and corrections that Dr. Monsell multiplied his works by giving much the same material under new titles, and that his Prayers and Litanies of 1861 were unknown to us when the original article was written. "We can sincerely add that few hymn writers are so perplexing to the annotator as Dr. Monsell. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Person Name: Anon. Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Author of "Jesus Christ, my sure defense" in The Lutheran Hymnary In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
