Et helligt Liv, en salig Død

Author: Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #161 (1919) Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 Et helligt Liv, en salig Død Hinanden kjærligt møder, Det Liv har Manna i sit Skjød, Som Døden selv forsøder. De To maa ikke skilles ad, Den Ene gjør den Anden glad Og meget liflig savner. 2 Naar den, som tror paa Jesus ret, Maa søle megen Plage, Da tænker han, naar han er træt: Gid ingen dog forsage! Jeg veed, nu kommer snart min Død, Saa gjør den al min Jammer sød Og ender Suk og Klage. 3 Og faar han siden Dødens Bud, O tænk, hvor sødt det smager, At han har holdt sig saft ved Gud I Fristelser og Plager! Ja, hvordan det gik op og ned, Han dog en god Samvittighed Beholdt ved Jesu Naade. 4 At have stridt den gode Strid, Og vandret ufortrøden Paa Troens Vei til sidste tid, Hvor er det sødt i Døden! Vel den, sin Herre tro har tjent, Sit Erinde har vel fuldendt, Og bort i Fred kan fare! 5 O Simeon, du Hjertens Mand, O tusindfold til Lykke! Du prydet har din Tid og Stand Med Hellighedens Smykke; Du lod en Himmel-Vandring se Til Alderdommens sidste Sne, Og tjente Gud paa Jorden. 6 Al Verdens Frelser var din Skat, Du brugte dine Kræfter, At tjene Herren Dag og Nat, Det stræved' du kun efter. Du gik al Verdens Lyst forbi, Og naa'de paa den trange Sti En sød og salig Ende. 7 Hvad Under da, at Gravens Bo Dig ei forfærde kunde, Du gik til Dødens Port saa fro Som Fugl i Frydens Lunde; Du tog din Frelsermand i Favn, Saa reiste du i Herrens Navn Til søde Himmerige. 8 O, Jesus er endnu at faa, Men han vil favnetages, Har man ei skjønnet før derpaa, Da skal det høit beklages; Thi Sjælen finder ingen Ro, Før den udi den sande Tro Sin Frelser ser og favner.

For dig, o Herre, som Dage kun

Author: Grundtvig Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #163 (1919) Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 For dig, o Herre, som Dage kun Aartufinder er at regne For dig som intet den liden Stund Vi aande i Støvets Egne. 2 Som Blomsten falmer hver Rosenkind, Som Græs er de Kjæmper gjæve, De Vises kunstige Hjernespind Nedblæses som Spindelvæve. 3 Kun syvti her ere Støvets Aar, De stolteste Strid og Møie, Om otteti og den Stærke naar, Des mere har han at døie. 4 Men hør os, Herre, i høien Hal! Du lære os ret af Naade At tælle paa vore Dages Tal, Og lade din Visdom raade! 5 O giv os dog efter Striden Fred, Og Trøst efter Suk og Klage, Ja, mæt os aarle med Miskundhed! Da glædes vi alle Dage. 6 Os overskinne din Herlighed, Du Skaber af hver en Stjerne! Da Fod vi flytte med sikre fjed, Da lysner det i vor Hjerne. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: Norwegian

Herre, jeg er nu gammel og graa

Author: Thomas Hygom Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #164 (1919) Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 Herre, jeg er nu gammel og graa, Stor Svaghed vil mig betage, Og Alderdommen er kommen paa Med Sorg og Drøvelses Dage; Mit Legems Styrke og Sjæelens Kraft I mig formindskes Dag og Nat, Det vil jeg for dig klage. 2 Herre, du er min Klippe, mig Slot, Din Hjælp monne jeg tillide, Du haver bevist mig meget godt Alt fra min Ungdoms Tide, Du bar mig alt fra min Moders Liv, O Herre, din Trøst du mig nu giv, Forløs mig fra al Kvide! 3 Forkast mig ikke, o Herre kjær, Nu for min Alderdams Lyde, Forlad mig ikke, men hos mig vær, Din Godhed lad mig nyde! Min Tilflugt lad mig have til dig, Saa vil jeg dig prise evindelig, Og i din Hjælp mig fryde! 4 Min Tro og Trøst, mit Haab og Bøn, O Herre, vil du formere, Giv et frit Mod og Tillid skjøn, Og alt mit Levnet regjere, At jeg i din Frygt vandrer saa, At jeg det evige Liv kan faa, Naar ud de mig skal bære!
