Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Christian Vocation and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses encompass us around! They, once like us with suffering tried, are now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, strive in the Christian race; and, freed from every weight of sin, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path: Jesus, the author, finisher, rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before him set, and moved by pitying love, endured the cross, despised the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, press we to God's right hand; there, with the Savior and his saints, triumphantly to stand. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT Text Sources: Translations and Paraphrases, 1745, alt.

Der Døden sog Herodes ned

Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Der Døden slog Herodes ned, Sin Engel Gud udsendte, Vor Jesus af Landflygtighed Hjem til sit Folk at hente. 2 Der er dog end en liden Plet, Hvor han kan bo og bygge, Udi det ringe Nazaret Der faar han Skjul og Skygge. 3 O Jesus, naar jeg tænker paa Din Flugt, din Sorg og Møie, Og alt det Had, som paa dig laa, Staar Graaden i mit Øie. 4 Jeg er, o Jesus, som du ser, En arm Udlænding bleven, I Verdens Trældom, Dynd og Ler, Vidt fra din Himmel dreven. 5 Dog henter du mig hjem igjen Til din saa søde Hvile, Min Sorg med Tiden slides hen, Du til min Hjælp skal ile. 6 Og om en Sorg i Verden skal Den anden Haanden række, Saa kan dog du min Jammers Tal Med Miskundheder dække. 7 Und mig et ringe Nazaret, En liden rolig Rede, Hvor jeg af Gud kan blive mæt, Og Jesus kun oplede. 8 Saa skal jeg da i Fryd og Ro, O Jesus, dig omfavne, I Himlens rette Hjem og Bo Fra alle Sorger havne.

Jeg løfter Sjæl og Øie op

Author: Kingo Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Jeg løfter Sjæl og Øie op Imod den hellig' Berge-Top, Hvor Jesus han opstiger; Jeg følger med i Sjæl og Sind, At kige i den Glæde ind; I, Verdens Lyster, viger, Bort alt, som mig besviger! 2 I Aand og Troen ser jeg paa Alt, hvad de tre Disciple saa, Og trøstes ved den Glæde, Ak Jesus han iførte sig Udi en Del af Himmerig, Og Lysets rene Klæde Af Herlighedens Sæde. 3 Hans Aasyn Solens Klarhed fik, Hans Klæder med en Himmel-Skik, Som Lys og Sne blev hvide, Da Moses og Elias kom, Guds dybe Ting de taled' om, Hvad Død han skulde lide Med Kummer, Kors og Kvide. 4 Al Verden glemte Peder da, Sig selv gik han saa ganske fra, Han dristed' at begjære: O Herre, lad os gjøre her Dig, Moses og Elias, hver Sit Hus i denne Ære, Her er saa godt at være! 5 O Jesus, o jeg ser heraf At Gud dig Himlens Ære gav, Før Sorgens Sky dig mødte, Og før du in Getsemane I Blod for mine Synders Ve Dit Klæde gjennemblødte, Og for min Ondskab bødte. 6 Du hermed vil paaminde mig, At naar mit Kors, min Kummer sig Med Dødens Nat udbreder, At da min Sjæl skal tænke paa Den Glæde mig skal forestaa, Naar du min sorg adspreder, Mig i din Himmel leder. 7 Jeg gaar i denne Græde-Dal, Du kjender mine Sorgers Tal, Ak, naar skal jeg opstige Paa Glædens Tabor, hvor jeg kan Se dig, o søde Frelsermand, I Herlighedens Rige, Hvor al min Nød skal vige? 8 Du ta'r dog engang Skyen bort, Du gjør min Længsel let og kort; Kom snart, o kom at tage Min Sjæl fra Synd, fra Skam og Nød, Fra Sorg og fra den evig' Død, At jeg maa se og smage Din Sødhed alle Dage!
