Nils Frykman

1842 - 1911 Person Name: N. Frykman Author of "Herrens bud" in De Ungas Sångbok Born: October 20, 1842, Sunne, Värmland, Sweden (birth name: Nils Larsson). Died: March 30, 1911, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Buried: Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Nils took the name Frykman after the region where he grew up, Fryksdalen. In 1868, he graduated from teachers’ college in Karlstad, and went on to teach in Grums, Norrköping, and Sunne. He preached in the church in Sunne, and around that time began to write hymns. Eventually, his texts were printed in the magazine Sanningsvittnet. However, Frykman’s work was not sanctioned by Sweden’s state church, and almost led to the loss of his job as a teacher. Eventually he did resign his position over a controversy about his children’s baptism by an independent preacher. In 1888, he was called to serve as pastor in the Tabernacle Church in Chicago, Illinois, and later in Salem, Minnesota. After 18 years, he retired to Minneapolis. He also served in the Northwest Mission Association of the Covenant Church, as denominational vice-chairman, Ministerial Board chairman, the Northwest Ministerial Association chairman, and as chairman of the committee to publish the Swedish-American Covenant church’s first hymnal in 1906. His works include: The History of My Songs --www.hymntime.com/tch

In addition to editing the Select Letters of Agnes Bulmer, &c, 1842, and engaging in other literary labours, he contributed hymns to the Methodist Magazine (under the nom de plume of Alec) from time to time, and specially 43 to Dr. Leifchild's Original Hymns, 1842. Of these Dr. Leifchild rejected 8, and abbreviated 2. In 1842 these 10 hymns were published as An Instrument of Ten Strings, strung in aid of the Wesleyan Missions, By Alec. Other hymns by him were included in his Memorials, &c, published by the Rev. G. S. Rowe in 1870. Although a few of these hymns have come into common use, they have failed as a whole to command public attention. Those in common use are:— 1. Blessed are the pure in heart, They have, &c. Purity. 2. Blest Spirit! from the Eternal Sire. Holy Spirit. 3. Dear is the day which God hath made. Sunday. 4. Father, our child we place. Holy Baptism. 5. Holy Spirit, pity me. Lent. 6. O blessed, blessed sounds of grace. After Sermon. 7. O crucified, triumphant Lord. Holy Baptism. 8. O God, how often hath Thine ear. Renewing the Covenant.

Most of these hymns are in the revised Wesleyan Hymn Book, 1875; Nos. 1-4 and 6 were in Dr. Leifchild's Original Hymns, 1842, and all are in the Memorials, 1870. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Bunting, William Maclardie, p. 193, ii. Of his hymns named here, Nos. 1-4, and 6, were in Leifchild's Original Hymns, 1842: as also, "We love to call creation Thine." (Missions.) The hymn, "Rites cannot change the heart," in the American Methodist Episcopal Hymnal, 1878, begins with stanza iii. of No. 4, "Father, our child we place." His hymn, No. 9, "O God, how often hath thine ear," was written at the age of 15, and was first published in the Methodist Magazine for Jan. 1824. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
