Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: De fly så snart, de ljusa morgonstunder Lyrics: 1 De fly så snart, de ljusa morgonstunder, Då lifvets vårdag mildt emot oss ler; De fly så snart, men lär oss, Gud, dårunder Att akta på den nåd, som du oss ger! 2 Vi hört din röst, den kända herde rösten, Som kallat oss vid namn så mången gång; Må vi ock följa den och smaka trösten Af ordets löften under tidens tvång! 3 Så tag oss, hulde herde, tag oss alla πå dina skuldror, bär oss i din famn, Och när de vreda vågor mot oss svalla, Var du vår tillflykt och vår säkra hamn! 4 Låt öfver oss, o Herre, alltid hvila Din gode Ande och ditt välbehag, Att medan vårens solskensdagar ila, Vi mogna må till höstens skördedag!

I Have A Friend So Patient, Kind, Forbearing

Author: John Jesperson; Carl Olof Rosenius, 1816-1868 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I have a Friend so patient, kind, forbearing, Of all my friends this Friend doth love me best; Though I am weak and sinful, yet, when sharing His love and mercy, I am ever blest. 2 He is my Lord, my Friend, my loving Brother, And Jesus Christ is His most blessed Name. He loves more tenderly than any mother: To rest in Him is more than wealth and fame. 3 My poor and wretched soul He liberated From sin and condemnation, death and hell; The serpent's head is bruised, his might defeated, Rejoice, my ransomed soul, for all is well! 4 I am redeemed: no more the law prevaileth, And Christ, the Lord, is my Redeemer's Name; His precious blood more than my sin availeth; His merit covers all my guilt and shame. 5 With hallelujahs here I'd tell the story, My Lord to praise, to laud and magnify, And praise His name for evermore in glory, Before His throne, with all the saints on high. Amen. Topics: Savior Used With Tune: AMICUS

I Have a Friend

Author: Carl Olaf Rosenius, 1816-1868 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #298 (1901) First Line: I have a Friend so patient, kind, forbearing Lyrics: 1 I have a Friend so patient, kind, forbearing, Of all my friends this Friend doth love me best; Though I am weak and sinful, yet when sharing His love and mercy I am ever blest. 2 He is my Lord, my Friend, yea, He’s my brother; And Jesus Christ is His most blessèd Name. He loves more tenderly than any mother; To rest in Him is more than wealth and fame. 3 My poor and wretched soul He bought so dearly, And freed from condemnation, death, and hell; The old and bitter foe He crushed completely. My soul, rejoice and sing, for all is well! 4 Thus I’m redeemed; no more the law prevaileth, For Christ, the Lord, is my Redeemer’s Name; His precious blood more than my sin availeth; His merit covers all my guilt and shame. 5 With hallelujahs here I’d tell the story, My Lord to praise, to laud and magnify; And praise His Name for evermore in glory, Before His throne with all the saints on high. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: JAG HAR EN VÄN

Composer of "JAG HAR EN VÅN (55111)" 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.
