A slumber I know, in Jesus' name
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #211 (1898) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 A slumber I know, in Jesus' name,
A rest from all toil and sorrow;
Earth tenderly takes my weary frame,
To sleep till the blissful morrow;
In heaven my soul with God abides,
Forgotten are cares and trials.
2 An even I know, serene and blest,
And oft is my spirit longing,
When, weary and worn, it finds no rest,
While woes on the way are thronging,--
Oft longing to see the journey's end,
And rest in a blissful slumber.
3 A morning I know, so bright and fair,
When tidings of joy shall wake us,
When anthems from high shall fill the air,
And God to His glory take us,
when Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep--
How joyous that hour of awaking!
4 Oh, dear is that morning fair to me!
And oft, o'er the mountains beaming,
In spirit its heavenly light I see,
As golden the peaks are gleaming--
For joy I must sing, as birds at dawn
Their carols in lofty lindens.
5 The Saviour then comes unto our graves;
His mighty command is given:
Then break from the deep the ocean waves,
Each tomb and restraint is riven.
All earth hears the cry: Ye dead, come forth!
In glory we go to meet Him.
6 Then open the heavenly portals wide,
The names of God's saints are given.
God grant that we all in faith abide,
And rise to the bliss of heaven!
Our Father, may we in that great hour
Find none of our dear ones missing!
7 O Saviour, when darkens life's last day,
And Death in his bonds me keepeth,
Come unto my bed, in mercy say:
The child is not dead, but sleepeth.
Then grant me Thy grace, that I arise
To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: Resurrection of the Dead; Sickness, Death, and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: A SLUMBER I KNOW, IN JESUS' NAME

M. B. Landstad
1802 - 1880 Author of "A slumber I know in Jesus' name" Magnus Brostrup Landstad (born 7 October 1802 in Måsøy, Norway and died 8 October 1880 in Kristiania) was a Norwegian minister, psalmist and poet who published the first collection of authentic Norwegian traditional ballads in 1853. This work was criticized for unscientific methods, but today it is commonly accepted that he contributed significantly to the preservation of the traditional ballads.
Landstad lived with his father Hans Landstad (1771–1838) who was also a minister, first in 1806 to Øksnes, to Vinje in 1811 and to Seljord in 1819. He took a theological degree (cand. theol) in 1827, and worked after that as the resident chaplain in Gausdal for six years. After that he worked in different parishes in Telemark, Østfold before he became minister of Sandar in Vestfold in 1859. He married Wilhelmine Margrete Marie Lassen, in 1828. He is well known for introducing popular, contemporary Norwegian language into the hymns he wrote, contributing significantly to the spirit of Norwegian romantic nationalism which grew in Norway in this period.
His greatest single achievement was the Landstad Hymnbook (Kirkepsalmebog), which with later revisions was used in Norwegian (bokmål) parishes from 1869 until 1985. The current official church hymnbook contains a lot of his hymns and his translations of foreign hymns.
He was the cousin of Hans Peter Schnitler Krag.
The Landstad-institute, which lies in Seljord, is named after him.
He was a great grandfather of Magny Landstad, also a famous writer.
