Representative Text

1 Kom Ord fra Gud med Aand og Liv,
Og varm den op, som kold og stiv
I Dødsens Søvn er sovnet hen,
Gjør levende vor Sjæl igjen!

2 Kom Ord fra Gud og hellig Sæd,
Og søg dig her et stille
Sted I Hjertebunden, taarevædt
Og renset for at vokse ret!

3 Det hjælpe Gud, vi faa hans Ord
I vore Hjerters arme Jord,
Med Aandens Varme, Naadens Regn,
Til Frugt i Guds, vor herres, Hegn!

4 Du bar til os saa fuldt i Fang
Den Livsens Sæd al Dagen lang,
Gik Graad derhos og Klage-Røst,
Saa tag med glæde sang din Høst!

5 Om end vor Tid er mørk og kold,
Giv treti, feksti, hundred Fold,
Det Mindste er i Armod stort,
Hav Tak for, hvad du alt har gjort!
