Klippa, du, som brast för mig

Author: A. M. Toplady Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S45 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Klippa, du, som brast för mig, Låt mig gömma mig i dig! Vattnet, blodet, hvilket går Från din stungna sidas sår, Tvage i sin himlasaft Mig från syndens skuld och kraft! 2 Med min svett och möda jag Aldrig hyller upp din lag. Om mitt hit blef aldrig matt, Om jag grät båd' dag och natt, Syndens fläckar stå dock kvar, Du, blott du, min frälsning har 3 Intet kan jag gifva dig, Till ditt kors jag sluter mig, Naken, dig om kläder ber, Hjälplös, upp till nåden ser. I din lifsvåg låt mig tvås, Herre, annars jag förgås. 4 Vid hvart flyktigt andedrag, Och när jag skall dö en dag, När till okändt land jag går, När inför din dom jag står, Klippa, du, som brast för mig, Låt mig gömma mig i dig!

Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S43 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: O, hvad världen nu är skön Lyrics: 1 O, hvad världen nu är skön, Klädd i sommardräkten; Känn i skog, på äng, på sjön Milda, friska fläkten, Ljufva dofter, fågelsång: Mänska, höj och du din sång! 2 Jorden, smyckad som en brud, Högt lofsjunger Herran; Jubla, lund i vårlig skrud, Ängder när och fjärran! Allt hans Ande skapar nytt, Vinterns tunga välde flytt. 3 Skulle ej min själ, min mun Honom offer bringa, Helig sång af hjärtats grund Till Guds ära klinga? Är vår jord så rik på fröjd, O, hur blir då himlens höjd? Topics: Fosterländska Sånger Languages: Swedish Tune Title: DIX

O min Frälsare, mig led

Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S44 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 O min Frälsare, mig led Öfver lifvets bölja vred. Okänd farled för mig är, Bränningar och dolda skär. Dyre Jesus, led mig fram, För min farkost in i hamn. 2 Likt ett barn vid moders bröst Stillas hafvet vid din röst. Stormig bölja lägger sig, När hon hør ditt "Ssilla, tig." Gud allsvåldig är ditt namn; För min farkost in i hamn. 3 När jag slutar färden svår – Dödens bränning mot mig slår – Ingif då mitthjärta trøst, Låt mig høra få din röst, Där jag hvilar i din famn: "Jag skall föra dig i hamn."

Robert Grant

1779 - 1838 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Author of "By Thy Birth and by Thy Tears" in The Cyber Hymnal Robert Grant (b. Bengal, India, 1779; d. Dalpoorie, India, 1838) was influenced in writing this text by William Kethe’s paraphrase of Psalm 104 in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter (1561). Grant’s text was first published in Edward Bickersteth’s Christian Psalmody (1833) with several unauthorized alterations. In 1835 his original six-stanza text was published in Henry Elliott’s Psalm and Hymns (The original stanza 3 was omitted in Lift Up Your Hearts). Of Scottish ancestry, Grant was born in India, where his father was a director of the East India Company. He attended Magdalen College, Cambridge, and was called to the bar in 1807. He had a distinguished public career a Governor of Bombay and as a member of the British Parliament, where he sponsored a bill to remove civil restrictions on Jews. Grant was knighted in 1834. His hymn texts were published in the Christian Observer (1806-1815), in Elliot’s Psalms and Hymns (1835), and posthumously by his brother as Sacred Poems (1839). Bert Polman ======================== Grant, Sir Robert, second son of Mr. Charles Grant, sometime Member of Parliament for Inverness, and a Director of the East India Company, was born in 1785, and educated at Cambridge, where he graduated in 1806. Called to the English Bar in 1807, he became Member of Parliament for Inverness in 1826; a Privy Councillor in 1831; and Governor of Bombay, 1834. He died at Dapoorie, in Western India, July 9, 1838. As a hymnwriter of great merit he is well and favourably known. His hymns, "O worship the King"; "Saviour, when in dust to Thee"; and "When gathering clouds around I view," are widely used in all English-speaking countries. Some of those which are less known are marked by the same graceful versification and deep and tender feeling. The best of his hymns were contributed to the Christian Observer, 1806-1815, under the signature of "E—y, D. R."; and to Elliott's Psalms & Hymns, Brighton, 1835. In the Psalms & Hymns those which were taken from the Christian Observer were rewritten by the author. The year following his death his brother, Lord Glenelg, gathered 12 of his hymns and poems together, and published them as:— Sacred Poems. By the late Eight Hon. Sir Robert Grant. London, Saunders & Otley, Conduit Street, 1839. It was reprinted in 1844 and in 1868. This volume is accompanied by a short "Notice," dated "London, Juno 18, 1839." ===================== Grant, Sir R., p. 450, i. Other hymns are:— 1. From Olivet's sequester'd scats. Palm Sunday. 2. How deep the joy, Almighty Lord. Ps. lxxxiv. 3. Wherefore do the nations wage. Ps. ii. These are all from his posthumous sacred Poems, 1839. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

George Duffield

1818 - 1888 Person Name: George Duffield, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Author of "Blessèd Savior, Thee I Love" in The Cyber Hymnal Duffield, George, Jr., D.D., son of the Rev. Dr. Duffield, a Presbyterian Minister, was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Sept. 12, 1818, and graduated at Yale College, and at the Union Theological Seminary, New York. From 1840 to 1847 he was a Presbyterian Pastor at Brooklyn; 1847 to 1852, at Bloomfield, New Jersey; 1852 to 1861, at Philadelphia; 1861 to 1865, at Adrian, Michigan; 1865 to 1869, at Galesburg, Illinois; 1869, at Saginaw City, Michigan; and from 1869 at Ann Arbor and Lansing, Michigan. His hymns include;— 1. Blessed Saviour, Thee I love. Jesus only. One of four hymns contributed by him to Darius E. Jones's Temple Melodies, 1851. It is in 6 stanzas of 6 lines. In Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymnbook it is given in 3 stanzas. The remaining three hymns of the same date are:— 2. Parted for some anxious days. Family Hymn. 3. Praise to our heavenly Father, God. Family Union. 4. Slowly in sadness and in tears. Burial. 5. Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Soldiers of the Cross. The origin of this hymn is given in Lyra Sac. Americana, 1868, p. 298, as follows:— "I caught its inspiration from the dying words of that noble young clergyman, Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng, rector of the Epiphany Church, Philadelphia, who died about 1854. His last words were, ‘Tell them to stand up for Jesus: now let us sing a hymn.' As he had been much persecuted in those pro-slavery days for his persistent course in pleading the cause of the oppressed, it was thought that these words had a peculiar significance in his mind; as if he had said, ‘Stand up for Jesus in the person of the downtrodden slave.' (Luke v. 18.)" Dr. Duffield gave it, in 1858, in manuscript to his Sunday School Superintendent, who published it on a small handbill for the children. In 1858 it was included in The Psalmist, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines. It was repeated in several collections and in Lyra Sac. Amer., 1868, from whence it passed, sometimes in an abbreviated form, into many English collections. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church
