We Christians Should Ever Consider

Author: Haquin Spegel Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We Christians should ever consider What Christ hath so graciously taught; For He who hath made us His children Would have us retain in our thought How little things earthly do merit, Lest we, who should heaven inherit, The heavenly prize leave unsought. 2 All nature a sermon may preach thee; The birds sing thy murmurs away; The birds, which, nor sowing nor reaping, God fails not to feed day by day; And He who those creatures doth cherish, He never will leave thee to perish; Or art thou not better than they? 3 The lilies, nor toiling nor spinning, Their clothing how gorgeous and fair! What tints in their tiny robes woven, What wondrous devices are there! All Solomon's stores could not render One festival robe of such splendor As the modest field lilies do wear. 4 If God o'er the grass and the flowers Such delicate beauty hath spread,-- The flowers which to-day are so fragrant, To-morrow are faded and dead;-- Oh why, then, should earthly cares fret thee? Thy Father will never forget thee, Nor fail to provide thee with bread. Amen.

Johan Olof Wallin

1779 - 1839 Person Name: J. O. Wallin Alterer of "Oss krisna bör tro och besinna" in Svenska Psalm-Boken af År 1819 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)
