O kjære Sjæl, frygt aldrig mer

Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday in Advent; Second Sunday in Advent 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.

Løft Hoved op al Kristendom

Author: Søren Palludan; Grundtvig Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday in Advent High Mass; Second Sunday in Advent For Evening Lyrics: 1 Løft Hoved op, al Kristendom, Vaag flittig nu, og tænk dig om, Og hør Guds Ord og Lære! Skik deg derefter af al Magt, Staa op af Søvne og giv Agt, Om du vil salig være! 2 I Himlen er dit Hjertes Skat, Derfra med Ære kommer bradt Den Ven, du ei kan glemme. O vær ham tro! saa er du glad Og venter snart og stunder ad, At være hos ham hjemme. 3 Du gruer ei for Domme-Dag, Du veed, han selv har ført din Sag, Og den med Ære vundet; Thi længes du hvert Morgengry, Til Herren kommen selv i Sky, Naar Natten er udrundet. 4 Naar under hver en Himmel-Egn Du skuer da din Konges Tegn, Ja Tegn i Sol og Maane, Da lyser salig Øiet dit; Da reiser du dit Hoved frit, Mens stjerner dø og daane. 5 Men, skjønt du længes, Kristenhed, Saa glem dog ei, at godt du veed, Hvad Herren bier efter, Og bed ham ei, før Timen kom, Til Jordens Gru og Verdens Dom At røre Himlens Kræfter! 6 Du veed, du har en Herre mild, Som nødig kun med Himlens Ild Hjemsøger Jordens Lyder, Som "Vennen" hist fra Sodom bad, Saa bed du for den store Stad, Til selv han Staven bryder! 7 Ja bed for Babel, til du ser, At Bøn og Suk ei baade meer Mod Undergangens Bølger. Da raaber han: Jeg kommer snart! Og Bruden svarer: Kom! Med Fart Jeg dig i Skyen følger.

I Jomfruer, I kloge

Author: Laur. Laurenti; Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #641 (1919) Topics: Second Sunday in Advent; Second Sunday in Advent; Second Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 I Jomfruer, I kloge, O tænder Lamper, ser, Hvor det i Verdens Kroge Nu mørknes mer og mer! 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 Menneske, som tro og ved

Author: Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #109 (1919) Topics: Second Sunday in Advent; Second Sunday in Advent; Second Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 O Menneske, som tror og ved, At Verden snart skal brænde, Skal Syndesøvn og Sikkerhed Dog ei engang faa Ende! 2 Giv Agt, og merk, hvad Sandheds Mund, Som ingen kan bedrage, Har talt om Verdens sidste Stund Og dens Forventnings Dage! 3 Naar Dommeren vil træde frem, Enhver sin Løn at give, Naar alle Jordens Flok skal hjem, Hvor de skal evig blive; 4 Da, naar de store Tegn skal ske I Stjerner, Sol og Maane, Naturen som i Fødsels Ve Er færdig til at daane; 5 Naar for den store Herrens Dag De stærke Storme høres, Og Havet gaar med Bølge-Brag, Og Himlens Kræfter røres; 6 Da just udi den samme Stund Vil Kristus aabenbares, Da skal til hvert betroet Pund Og alle Renter svares. 7 Da skal de alle, ogsaa de, Som vilde være blinde, Da skal de Livets Fyrste se, Og mange Øine rinde. 8 Den vantro Hob er trindt omkring, Med Frygt og Rædsel slagen For baade de fremfarne Ting, Og dem, som staar for Dagen. 9 Men glade vil de Gode staa Ved deres Frelsers Komme, O hvilken Lyst, at kaldes paa Og findes blandt de Fromme! 10 De glædes, før de faar ham set, Hvad, naar de se hans Rige, Hans underfulde Herlighed, Hvad vil de da vel sige? 11 Giv Agt, I Fromme, Tiden sig Alt mer og mere nærmer, Og Dagen kommer hastelig, Naar Verden vildest sværmer. 12 O tager eder vel i Agt For Verdens Sorg og Glæde, Ei nogen Stund fra Bønnens Vagt Og Troens Kamp I træde!

Charles Coffin

1676 - 1749 Person Name: Charles Coffin (1676-1749) Topics: Advent; Church Year Advent; God in grace and mercy; Healing; John the Baptist; Light; Other Saints and Festivals The Birth of John the Baptist; Proper 21 Year A; The Baptism of Christ Year A; The Baptism of Christ Year B; The Baptism of Christ Year C; The Second Sunday of Advent Year B; The Second Sunday of Advent Year C; Saints St John Baptist Author of "On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry" in Ancient and Modern Coffin, Charles, born at Buzaney (Ardennes) in 1676, died 1749, was principal of the college at Beauvais, 1712 (succeeding the historian Rollin), and rector of the University of Paris, 1718. He published in 1727 some, of his Latin poems, for which he was already noted, and in 1736 the bulk of his hymns appeared in the Paris Breviary of that year. In the same year he published them as Hymni Sacri Auctore Carolo Coffin, and in 1755 a complete ed. of his Works was issued in 2 vols. To his Hymni Sacri is prefixed an interesting preface. The whole plan of his hymns, and of the Paris Breviary which he so largely influenced, comes out in his words. "In his porro scribendis Hymnis non tam poetico indulgendunv spiritui, quam nitoro et pietate consulendum esse existimavi. Pleraque igitur, argumentis convenientia e purissiinis Scripturae Sacrae fontibus deprompsi quac idoneis Ecclesiae cantui numeris alligarem." His hymns are described by a French critic as having less brilliancy than those of Santüil (q.v.), but more simplicity and unction. They number 100 in the edition of 1736. Translated into English by J. Chandler, I. Williams and others, are noted under their respective Latin first lines. [William T. Brooke] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Edward Caswall

1814 - 1878 Person Name: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Topics: 3rd Sunday in Advent; Advent Coming; Doxologies and Glorias; Redemption; Repentance; Second Advent; Descants Translator of "Hark! a Thrilling Voice" in The Covenant Hymnal Edward Caswall was born in 1814, at Yately, in Hampshire, where his father was a clergyman. In 1832, he went to Brasenose College, Oxford, and in 1836, took a second-class in classics. His humorous work, "The Art of Pluck," was published in 1835; it is still selling at Oxford, having passed through many editions. In 1838, he was ordained Deacon, and in 1839, Priest. He became perpetural Curate of Stratford-sub-Castle in 1840. In 1841, he resigned his incumbency and visited Ireland. In 1847, he joined the Church of Rome. In 1850, he was admitted into the Congregation of the Oratory at Birmingham, where he has since remained. He has published several works in prose and poetry. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872 ===================== Caswall, Edward, M.A., son of the Rev. R. C. Caswall, sometime Vicar of Yately, Hampshire, born at Yately, July 15, 1814, and educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, graduating in honours in 1836. Taking Holy Orders in 1838, he became in 1840 Incumbent of Stratford-sub-Castle, near Salisbury, and resigned the same in 1847. In 1850 (Mrs. Caswall having died in 1849) he was received into the Roman Catholic communion, and joined Dr. Newman at the Oratory, Edgbaston. His life thenceforth, although void of stirring incidents, was marked by earnest devotion to his clerical duties and a loving interest in the poor, the sick, and in little children. His original poems and hymns were mostly written at the Oratory. He died at Edgbaston, Jan. 2, 1878, and was buried on Jan. 7 at Redwall, near Bromsgrove, by his leader and friend Cardinal Newman. Caswall's translations of Latin hymns from the Roman Breviary and other sources have a wider circulation in modern hymnals than those of any other translator, Dr. Neale alone excepted. This is owing to his general faithfulness to the originals, and the purity of his rhythm, the latter feature specially adapting his hymns to music, and for congregational purposes. His original compositions, although marked by considerable poetical ability, are not extensive in their use, their doctrinal teaching being against their general adoption outside the Roman communion. His hymns appeared in:— (1) Lyra Catholica, which contained 197 translations from the Roman Breviary, Missal, and other sources. First ed. London, James Burns, 1849. This was reprinted in New York in 1851, with several hymns from other sources added thereto. This edition is quoted in the indices to some American hymn-books as Lyra Cath., as in Beecher's Plymouth Collection, 1855, and others. (2) Masque of Mary, and Other Poems, having in addition to the opening poem and a few miscellaneous pieces, 53 translations, and 51 hymns. 1st ed. Lon., Burns and Lambert, 1858. (3) A May Pageant and Other Poems, including 10 original hymns. Lon., Burns and Lambert, 1865. (4) Hymns and Poems, being the three preceding volumes embodied in one, with many of the hymns rewritten or revised, together with elaborate indices. 1st ed. Lon., Burns, Oates & Co., 1873. Of his original hymns about 20 are given in the Roman Catholic Crown of Jesus Hymn Book, N.D; there are also several in the Hymns for the Year, N.D., and other Roman Catholic collections. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ====================== Caswall, E. , p. 214, ii. Additional original hymns by Caswall are in the Arundel Hymns, 1902, and other collections. The following are from the Masque of Mary, &c, 1858:— 1. Christian soul, dost thou desire. After Holy Communion. 2. Come, let me for a moment cast. Holy Communion. 3. O Jesu Christ [Lord], remember. Holy Communion. 4. Oft, my soul, thyself remind. Man's Chief End. 5. Sleep, Holy Babe. Christmas. Appeared in the Rambler, June 1850, p. 528. Sometimes given as "Sleep, Jesus, sleep." 6. The glory of summer. Autumn. 7. This is the image of the queen. B. V. M. His "See! amid the winter's snow,” p. 1037, i., was published in Easy Hymn Tunes, 1851, p. 36. In addition the following, mainly altered texts or centos of his translations are also in common use:— 1. A regal throne, for Christ's dear sake. From "Riches and regal throne," p. 870, ii. 2. Come, Holy Ghost, Thy grace inspire. From "Spirit of grace and union," p. 945, i. 3. Hail! ocean star, p. 99, ii,, as 1873. In the Birmingham Oratory Hymn Book, 1850, p. 158. 4. Lovely flow'rs of martyrs, hail. This is the 1849 text. His 1873 text is "Flowers of martyrdom," p. 947, i. 5. None of all the noble cities. From "Bethlehem! of noblest cities," p. 946, ii. 6. O Jesu, Saviour of the World. From “Jesu, Redeemer of the world," p. 228, ii. 7. 0 Lady, high in glory raised. From "O Lady, high in glory, Whose," p. 945, i. The Parochial Hymn Book, 1880, has also the following original hymns by Caswall. As their use is confined to this collection, we give the numbers only:— IS os. 1, 2, 3, 159 (Poems, 1873, p. 453), 209 (1873, p. 288), 299, 324 (1873, p. 323), 357, 402, 554, 555, 558, 569 (1873, p. 334). These are from his Masque of Mary 1858. Nos. 156, 207 (1873, p. 296), 208 (1873, p. 297), 518. These are from his May Pageant, 1865. As several of these hymns do not begin with the original first lines, the original texts are indicated as found in his Poems, 1873. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman
