Representative Text

1 O Fader vor, barmhjertig, god,
Os vilde til dig kalde,
Og stænke os med Kristi Blod,
Som bortta'r Synder alle,
Lad komme her dit hellig Ord,
Din Vilje at forklare,
Det, som har Himmel skabt og Jord,
Vor Lærdom maa bevare,
At vi ei vild skal fare!

2 Saa raabe vi nu her til dig,
Ei andet er til Raade,
Thi ingen ta'r dit Ord til sig,
Om han ei faar din Naade:
O hellig' Fader, tænk derpaa,
At Djævlen gjør os Vaande,
Vil tage dine Ord os fra
Og faa os sig til Haande,
Thi hjælp os fast at stande!

3 O Gud og Menn'ske Jesus Krist,
Som Synden paa dig lagde,
Du vidste vel vor store Brøst,
Da du os Hjælp tilsagde:
O Jesus Krist, vor Broder kjær,
Du værdes det at holde,
Husvaleren lad komme her,
Som ter os Sandhed alle,
At vi ei fra dig falde!

4 Du gode Helligaand, o kom,
Slid sønder Djævlens Snare,
Lad Guds Ord faa i Hjertet Rum,
Og Krist i os forklare!
Saa blive vi og helliggjort,
Og prise Gud med Gammen,
Af Jesu Kristi evig' Ord,
Ham takker allesammen!
Og synger alle Amen!

Author: Olavus Petri

Olof Persson, sometimes Petersson (January 6, 1493 – April 19, 1552), better known under the Latin form of his name, Olaus Petri (or less commonly, Olavus Petri), was a clergyman, writer, judge and major contributor to the Protestant Reformation in Sweden.

Author (stanza 1): Anonymous

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
