Hvad er det godt i Jesu Arme

Author: Ulrik von Bonin; Brorson Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Adoption Lyrics: 1 Hvad er det godt i Jesu Arme Som Skjødebarn at sove ind, Og ved hans Naades Bryst sig varme med et fra Sorgen friet Sind! Hvad vil du dig med Frygt besvære? Gud kan din Sorg alene bære, Hans Trosfasthed omskiftes ei; Han er dig altid tro forblevet, Og har sig med sit Blod forskrevet, At føre dig den rette Vei. 2 Hvor daarligt som en Hedning fare I alle Jammers Torner ind! Du kunde dig den Møie spare, Og favne Jesus i dit Sind; Da skulde Sorgen selv sig glemme, Og du en liflig Ro fornemme, At se, hvad han af Evighed For Kjærlighed har til dig baaret, Som jo endnu er ubeskaaret, Og evig, evig bliver ved. 3 Hvi vil du græmme dig for Livet, Og hvad der hører Livet til? Gud, som dig har det første givet, Dig og det andet give vil. Den, Sjælen Himmel-Spise rækker, Og med sin Jesu Purpur dækker, Som er saa hjertehuld og tro, Han Legemet skal og betænke, At du dig derfor ei tør krænke, Men lade det paa Gud bero. 4 Umælende dig det kan sige, Ja hver en Skabning, smaa og stor, De tyde i Guds Almagts Rige Hans Forsyns Vei og klare Spor. Den lille Fugl, vor Herre nærer, Sig aldrig over Trang besværer, Er altid lystig, mild og vel, Gjør Mark og Skov til Pardiser, Og mer, end vi vor Herre priser, At vi maa skamme os ihjel. 5 Se Liljen i de grønne Dale! Hvo har vel smykket denne Brud? Hun skulde, om hun kunde tale, Dig skjelde for en Tistel ud. Blandt Torner ser du Rosens Ynde, At den dig vil til Troen skynde, Og alle Blomsters fagre Top I Tal og Skjønhed uden Ende, Som alle sig mod Himlen vende, Og vise dig til Gud henop. 6 Der ser man dem i deres Smykke Saa alle Tider mildt at le, At Salomon i al sin Lykke Mod den kun ringe var at se. Kan gud et græs saa høit begave, Hvad skal du da, min Sjæl, vel have For Prydelse og Herlighed, Som har den bedste Skjønhed arvet, Og er med Blodet purpurfarvet, Som flød af Jesu Vunder ned? 7 Den Del, vi bruge her i Live, Er ikke megen Kummer værd, Een Ting er nødig ret at drive, Og tage sig af Hjertet nær. Hvor mangen gaar med Suk og Klager For det, som Gud sig selv paatager, Og bærer sorgen i sit Byrst Da tidt, naar ingen Redning kjendes, Ved hannem al vor Jammer vendes, Til Hjertens Glæde, Fryd og Lyst. 8 Saa hvil, min Sjæl, foruden Plage Saa stille i din Jesu Skjød! Lad dig den Glæde ei fratage, Men glæd dig dermed til din Død: At Gud i Kristus dig udvalgte, Og alle dine Taarer talte Har afmaalt al din Gang og Vei; O, lad dig det dog engang sige, Din Gud han kan dig aldrig svige, Nei, Gud alene sviger ei.
