Hans Thomissøn

1532 - 1573 Translator of "Kom hid til mig, enhver især"
Hans Thomissøn

M. B. Landstad

1802 - 1880 Translator of "Kom hid til mig, enhver især" Magnus Brostrup Landstad (born 7 October 1802 in Måsøy, Norway and died 8 October 1880 in Kristiania) was a Norwegian minister, psalmist and poet who published the first collection of authentic Norwegian traditional ballads in 1853. This work was criticized for unscientific methods, but today it is commonly accepted that he contributed significantly to the preservation of the traditional ballads. Landstad lived with his father Hans Landstad (1771–1838) who was also a minister, first in 1806 to Øksnes, to Vinje in 1811 and to Seljord in 1819. He took a theological degree (cand. theol) in 1827, and worked after that as the resident chaplain in Gausdal for six years. After that he worked in different parishes in Telemark, Østfold before he became minister of Sandar in Vestfold in 1859. He married Wilhelmine Margrete Marie Lassen, in 1828. He is well known for introducing popular, contemporary Norwegian language into the hymns he wrote, contributing significantly to the spirit of Norwegian romantic nationalism which grew in Norway in this period. His greatest single achievement was the Landstad Hymnbook (Kirkepsalmebog), which with later revisions was used in Norwegian (bokmål) parishes from 1869 until 1985. The current official church hymnbook contains a lot of his hymns and his translations of foreign hymns. He was the cousin of Hans Peter Schnitler Krag. The Landstad-institute, which lies in Seljord, is named after him. He was a great grandfather of Magny Landstad, also a famous writer. Publications-- 1852: Norske Folkeviser. 3 vols. Christiania: C.

Georg Grünwald

? - 1530 Person Name: Georg Grüenwald Author of "Kom hid til mig, enhver især" Grüenwald, Georg, was an Anabaptist shoemaker, who suffered martyrdom for his principles, being in 1530 burnt at the stake at Kopffstain, or Kufstein, on the Inn below Innsbruck. To him is ascribed, in a manuscript Anabaptist Chronicle now in the Town Library at Hamburg, the hymn:— Kommt her zu mir, sagt Gottes Sohn. [Christ's Yoke.] Founded on St. Matt. xi. 28-30. Appeared as "Ain schöns newes Christlichs lyed," in 1530. Wackernagel, iii. pp. 128-133, gives this in 16 stanzas and three later forms. The form in V. Babst's Gesang-Buch, Leipzig, 1545, is that in common use as in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen 1851, No. 421. It has been generally ascribed to Hans Witzstadt of Wertheim, but Wackernagel in a long note decides in favour of Grüenwald. The translations are (1) "Cum heir, sayis Goddis Sone to me," in the Gude and Godly Ballates, ed. 1568, folio 16 (1868, p. 25). (2) "Come hither! saith our blessed Lord," by J. C. Jacobi, 1725, p. 35 (1732, p. 121), repeated as No. 151 in pt. i. of the Moravian Hymn Book, 1754. (3) "Come hither, says the Son of God," by Dr. H. Mills, 1856, p. 47. (4) "Come hither, says our blessed Lord," by Dr. G. Walker, 1860, p. 80. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology
