From Peaceful Slumber Waking

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; E. W. Olson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From peaceful slumber waking, We sing, O Lord, Thy praise, When o'er the world is breaking Another day of grace-- A day that soon shall perish As yesterdays are past-- O teach us, then, to cherish Each moment as our last. 2 O Lord of light and beauty, The light divine us send, To see and do our duty, Lest, when this day shall end, We come with vain excuses For sin and trespass done, And shame our face suffuses At blush of setting sun. 3 Give God thy heart, thy labor, Show forth Thy Savior's praise And be unto Thy neighbor A present help always: The name of Christ we hallow Not by our faith alone; If we His path would follow, His will through us be done. 4 Blest be each faithful servant, Whene'er the Lord shall come; The dutiful and fervent He taketh to His home, To share with Him in glory What eye hath not beheld Nor tongue hath told in story Nor mortal heart hath held. Amen. Topics: Morning; Processionals and Recessionals Morning Used With Tune: LAUSANNE

From Peaceful Slumber Waking

Author: Johan Olaf Wallin Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #537 (1937) Lyrics: 1 From peaceful slumber waking, We sing, O Lord, Thy praise. When o'er the world is breaking Another day of grace-- A day that soon shall perish, As yesterdays are past-- O, teach us, then, to cherish Each moment as our last. 2 Farther of light and beauty, The light divine us send To see and do our duty, Lest when this day shall end Our conscience doth accuse us Of sin and trespass done, And shame our face suffuses At blush of setting sun. 3 Give God thy heart, thy labor, Walk in thy Saviour's grace, And be unto thy neighbor A present help always: The Name of Christ we hallow Not by our faith alone; If we His path would follow, His will through us be done. 4 Blest be each faithful servant, Whene'er the Lord shall come; The dutiful and fervent He taketh to His home, To share with Him in glory What eye hath not beheld, Nor tongue hath told in story, Nor mortal heart hath held. Amen.

Ernst W. Olson

1870 - 1958 Person Name: E. W. Olson Translator of "From Peaceful Slumber Waking" in American Lutheran Hymnal Ernst W. Olson (b. Skane, Sweden, 1870; d. Chicago, IL, 1958) prepared the English translation for the 1925 Hymnal of the Lutheran Augustana Synod. As editor, writer, poet, and translator, Olson made a valuable contribution to Swedish-American culture and to church music. His family immigrated to Nebraska when he was five years old, but he spent much of his life in the Chicago area. Educated at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, he was editor of several Swedish-American newspapers and spent most of his professional career as an editor for the Augustana Book Concern (1911-1949). Olson wrote History of the Swedes in Illinois (1908). He also contributed four original hymns and twenty-eight translations to The Hymnal (1925) of the Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod and served on the committee that produced the Lutheran Service Book and Hymnal (1958).

Johan Olof Wallin

1779 - 1839 Author of "From Peaceful Slumber Waking" in American Lutheran Hymnal Johan Olaf Wallin was born at Stora Tuna, in 1779, and early displayed his poetical powers. In 1805, and again in 1809, he gained the chief prize for poetry at Upsala. In the latter year he became pastor at Solna; here his ability as a preacher was so striking that he was transferred to Stockholm, in 1815, as "pastor primarius," a title for which we have no exact equivalent. In 1818 he was made Dean of Westeras, and set about the task of editing a revised hymn-book for the whole of Sweden. This task he completed in 1819, and published it as, Den Swenska Psalmboken, af Konungen gillad och stadfästad (The Swedish hymn-book, approved and confirmed by the King). To it he contributed some 150 hymns of his own, besides translations and recastings; and the book remains now in the form in which he brought it out. It is highly prized by the Swedes, and is in use everywhere. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, p. 1000 (1907)
