Representative Text

1 Her ei ties, her indvies,
Her indvies Gudsordets Hus;
Klokkerne ringe, Salmerne klinge,
Salmerne klinge mid Sus og Brus.
Her ei ties, her indvies,
Her indvies Gudsordets Hus.

2 Her skal grædes, her skal kvædes
Her skal kvædes hver Helligdag,
Taarerne rinde, Sorgerne svinde,
Sorgerne svinde til Guds Behag.
Her skal grædes, her skal kvædes,
Her skal kvædes hver Helligdag.

3 Her skal tales, klart afmales,
Klart afmales den snevre Vei,
Veien til Himlen, borte fra Vrimlen,
Borte fra Vrimlen, som ser den ei.
Her skal tales, klart afmales,
Klart afmales den snevre Vei.

4 Hjerte-Savnet, Jesus Navnet,
Jesus-Navnet er Livets Ord;
Selv i en Hytte Englene lytte,
Englene lytte til det paa Jord.
Hjerte-Savnet, Jesus-Navnet,
Jesus-Navnet er Livets Ord.

5 Taarne glippe, Kirkens Klippe,
Kirkens Klippe er Kristus selv;
Duggen i Dalen, Helligaands-Talen
Helligaands-Talen er Klippens Elv,
Taarne glippe, Kirkens Klippe,
Kirkens Klippe er Kristus selv.

6 Aldrig rygges, hvad som bygges,
Hvad som bygges paa Klippens Grund;
Stormene suse, Bølgerne bruse,
Bølgerne bruse forgjæves kun.
Aldrig rygges, hvad som bygges,
Hvad som bygges paa Klippens Grund.

7 Fred med Huset, gjennemsuset,
Gjennemsuset af Herrens Røst!
Altid herinde Hjerterne finde,
Hjerterne finde en evig Trøst!
Fred med Huset, gjennemsuset,
Gjennemsuset af herrens Røst!

Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig was the son of a pastor, and was born at Udby, in Seeland, in 1783. He studied in the University of Copenhagen from 1800-1805; and, like some other eminent men, did not greatly distinguish himself; his mind was too active and his imagination too versatile to bear the restraint of the academic course. After leaving the university he took to teaching; first in Langeland, then (1808) in Copenhagen. Here he devoted his attention to poetry, literature, and Northern antiquities. In 1810 he became assistant to his father in a parish in Jutland. The sermon he preached at his ordination, on the subject "Why has the Lord's word disappeared from His house," attracted much attention, which is rarely the case with "pro… Go to person page >
