Å For Ein Kjaerleik Så Stor

Author: Vilhelm Gravdal; O. Frank; John Merritte Driver Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Å, for ein kjaerleik så stor: Jesus oss frelsa vil! Lyrics: 1 Å, for ein kjærleik så stor: Jesus oss frelsa vil! Å, for ein kjærleik så stor! Den må me kjenna til! Synda til alle seg trengde, Porten til Himmelen stengde. Jesus, han stengselet sprengde! Å, for ein kjærleik så stor! Kor: Jesus takk, Jesus takk! Takk min Frelsar! Å, for ein kjærleik så stor! 2 Å, for ein kjærleik så stor—sjølv om du borte går. Å, for ein kjærleik så stor, enno Guds kall deg når. Kom då til ævelivsbrunnen, Som innved krossen er funnen! Tilgjevingsflaum der er runnen, Kom til ein kjærleik så stor! [Kor] 3 Å, for ein kjærleik så stor: Himmelens fryd til sist! Å, for ein kjærleik så stor, Jesus deg byd for visst! Berging frå ævelivs-brannen, Det er for stort for forstanden. Kan du for små redningsmannen, Vraka ein kjærleik så stor? Siste kor: Å, vend om! Å, vend om! Fred han gjev deg! Å, for ein kjærleik så stor! Used With Tune: [Å, for ein kjaerleik så stor: Jesus oss frelsa vil!]

Translator of "Itan Iyanu T'ife!" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.

Small Church Music

Editors: J. M. Driver Description: History The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Mobile App We have partnered with the developer of the popular NetTracks mobile app to offer the Small Church Music collection as a convenient mobile app. Experience the beloved Small Church Music collection through this iOS app featuring nearly 10,000 high-quality hymn recordings that can be organized into custom setlists and downloaded for offline use—ideal for worship services without musicians, congregational practice, and personal devotion. The app requires a small fee to cover maintenance costs. Please note: While Hymnary.org hosts this music collection, technical support for the app is provided exclusively by the app developer, not by Hymnary.org staff. LicensingCopyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
