Author: Johan Olaf Wallin Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine agony, O Lord, is o'er, And victory forevermore Is ours through Thy great passion. Earth had for Thee no peace in store Till peace was our possession. 2 Now rest Thee, gentle Shepherd blet, Who 'mid this throng hast found no rest, Nor in a home abided. The shelter life from Thee withheld The grave alone provided. 3 O silent grave! O blest retreat, A refuge for my Saviour meet, No longer dark and narrow! Like Him, I enter thee content, Released from toil and sorrow. 4 O sleep of death, O night profound, My Lord hath set for thee a bound: His promise I remember. Like Him, triumphant I shall come From out that peaceful chamber. Amen.

Ernst W. Olson

1870 - 1958 Person Name: Ernst W. Olson, 1870-1958 Translator of "Thine Agony, O Lord, Is O'er" in The Cyber 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 "Thine Agony, O Lord, Is O'er" in The Hymnal and Order of Service 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)
