Pray, tell me, how cam'st thou so easily in
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #99 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Pray, tell me, how cam'st thou so easily in
Through yonder bright portals of heaven,
Since not to a soul here polluted by sin
Admission there ever was given?
Wast thou not akin to the fallen?
2 By grace did I live, and in grace did I die,
By grace did I enter these portals,
Lo, this is the ground and the reason why I
Am one of the blessed immortals,
Who sing hallelujah for ever.
3 Oh, blessed art thou who in life and in death
Hast grace for thine only foundation!
For sinners condemned, so His holy Word saith,
Can plead nothing else for salvation.
For grace, then, give thanks everlasting. Topics: The Christian Graces; Faith Justification

Oscar Ahnfelt
1813 - 1882 Person Name: Oskar Ahnfelt Composer of "HVAR ÄR DU?" in Hymnal and Order of Service Oscar Ahnfelt (1813 -1882) was a Swedish singer and composer. He wrote the music for many of Lina Sandell’s hymns. A pietist, he raised some concern in the State-church, but his music was apparently so popular, King Karl XV gave him permission to play and sing in both of his kingdoms. Ahnfelt’s music has spread throughout the world; two of his best-known songs are “Children of the Heavenly Father” and “Day by Day.”
