So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.

Jeg veed at evigt Himmerig

Hymnal: Kirkesalmebog #105 (1893) Topics: Hope and Longing for the Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Jeg veed et evigt Himmerig, Som ei med Guld det røde Er tjeldet ud saa prydelig, Men med Guds Ord bet søde. 2 Derudi bor min Jesus Krist, Som er Guds Søn den fromme, Min Festermand, mig venter vist, Og beder til sig komme. 3 En Pillegrim er jeg forsand, Men Reise maa jeg ende, Herfra og 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 fanger jeg, det er min Tro, Som her leed megen Plage, For Sorg og Strid Guds Fred og Ro I alle mine 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 du derfore 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 meer 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 Kristum!

Jeg løfter op til Gud min Sang

Hymnal: Kirkesalmebog #107 (1893) Topics: Hope and Longing for the Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Jeg løfter op til Gud min Sang Endnu engang Fra disse Jordens Dale. Vor Herre Krist han henter mig Smart hjem til sig I Himlens høie Sale. Som Lynet far, Han kommer snar, Da skal hans Pris Paa anden Vis De Guds Basuner tale. 2 Naar min Forløsning stunder til, Jeg glædes vil Og løfter of mit Hoved, Da løses jeg, da gaar jeg ind Til Vennen min, Gud være evig lovet! Da reises af Den mørke Grav Det, som var saa'd Med Suk og Graad, Da er den Søvn udsovet. 3 Naar Figentræet skyder Blad, Jeg er saa glad, Da bliver her snart Sommer, Naar Himmerigets Blomster gro, Det er min Tro, Guds Rige snarlig kommer! Hans Brud jet er, Hans Ring jeg bær, Har Lampen tændt, Og Hjertet vendt Til ham, al Verdens Dommer. 4 Jeg hører hans livsalig Røst Guds Børn til Trøst Fra høien Himmel tone: Jeg kommer, se jeg kommer snart, Hold du kun hart, At ingen ta'r din Krone! Min Brud, dig glæd, Min Løn er med: Dig, som var tro, En evig Ro Og Glæde for Guds Throne! 5 I Aanden glad da Bruden from Hun siger: kom! Saa hjertelig hun frydes; Og hvo det hører siger: kom! Lad Livsens Flom Sødt over os udgydes! Hvo lider Tørst, Han komme først, Hvo vil og kan, Tag' Livsens Vand, Som uforskyldt tilbydes! 6 En Himmel ny saavelsom Jord, Det er hans Ord, Da vorder til hans Ære. Se, Guds Paulum blandt Menn'sken er, Han bor os nær, Og vi hans Folk skal være! Lad Verden saa I Stykker gaa, Guds Ord ei brast, De stande fast, Den Bro skal Bruden bære! 7 Gud skal da tørre af mit Kind Hver Taare min, Ei Død skal være mere, Ei heller Sorg, ei heller Skrig, Ei Pine slig, Som her Guds Børn maa bære; Det første fort Er veget bort, Og Glæden ny I Himlens By– Eia, hvor godt at være! 8 Da synger jeg for Thronen glad Et bedre Kvad, Og løfter Palmegrene, Med hvide Klæder, som er toed I Lammets Blod For Herrens Øine rene. Halleluja! Eia, eia, For liflig Klang! Og al min Sang Er Herren, Herren ene. 9 Amen, Vesignelse og Pris Paa alle Vis, Og Visdom, Magt og Styrke Tilhører Gud i Evighed, Som saa herned Til os i Dødens Mørke! Halleluja! Eia, eia! I Himmerig Der skal vi dig I Aand og Sandhed dyrke.
