Mig hjertelig nu længes

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Hope and Longing for the Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Mig hjertelig nu længes Efter en salig Død, Thi ynkelig jeg trænges Af Usseldom og Nød; At vandre er jeg rede Fra Verden med en Fart Til Himmeriges Glæde, Kom, Jesus, kom nu snart! 2 Du haver mig af Naade Fra Synd og Død forløst, Og fra al Helveds Vaade, Det er min høi'ste Trøst: Hvi skulde jeg da grue For Dødens Bitterhed? Dit Aasyn skal jeg skue I evig Salighed. 3 Jeg ganske med stor Trygge Mod Døden nu vil staa, Thi jeg paa dig mon bygge, Ihvor det mig vil gaa, Om mig er sødt i Live, Og beeskt er Dødens Bud, Jeg vil mig gjerne give At dø i dig, min Gud! 4 Jeg veed en større Glæde, Hvortil min Sjæl gaar ind, Thi vil jeg freidig kvæde: Min Død er Baade min! Og lægges jeg i Jorde, Og tæres der min Krop, Den skal dog herlig vorde, Naar jeg igjen staar op. 5 Da Kristus vil fuld gjerne Mig gjøre skjær og reen, Saa klar som Morgenstjerne At skinne uden Meen, Saa leve uden Ende, Og uden Sorg og Nød, Hvo vilde sig da vende Og vride for sin Død? 6 Hvad er at leve efter I denne Verden her? Dens Guld og Glæde hefter Mig ei paa denne Ferd; Jeg det slet intet agter, Det staar saa kort ved Lag, Til Himmerig jeg tragter, Og det i denne Dag. 7 Om jeg skal efterlade Min Viv og Venner smaa, Som stande her uglade, Og vil mig holde paa, Jeg vil dog gjerne flytte, Og tro min Gud det til, Han skal dem trolig skjøtte, Han dem forsørge vil. 8 Du saart bedrøved' Enke, Mistrøste dig ei saa! Skuld' Gud dig ei betænke Som mader Ravne smaa? De Faderløses Fader, Og Enkernes Forsvar, Som sig paa ham forlader, Det er han aabenbar. 9 Thi vil jeg dig befale, O Hjertens Kjærest min, Den evig' Gud med alle, Han bo udi dig Sind; Slet intet maa du grue, Nu om en stakket Stund Vi begge skulle skue De Saliges Samfund! 10 Og nu vil jeg mig vende Til dig, min Himmel-Ven, Giv mig en salig Ende, Og dine Engler send, I Livet mig at lede, Som med din blodig Sved Du tjente mig til Glæde Og evig Salighed! 11 Nu maa jeg krige, kjæmpe Mod Døden, Jesu from, At jeg kan hannem dæmpe, Min Tro til Styrke kom! Min Sjæl giv nu den Glæde, Hvortil min Hu er vendt, At den ret snart maa kvæde; Nu har jeg salig endt!

Guds Folk velsignet være Af Herrens Hus og Stavn! Vi takke hver for sig Den Herre overmaade, Thi hans Miskund og Naade Staar fast evindelig.

Min Sjæl, vær lystig, glad og fro

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Hope and Longing for the Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Min Sjæl, vær lystig, glad og fro, Og lad ei Verdens Kvide Forfærde dig, men tænk og tro, Du kan paa Jesum lide, Som haver efter denne Død Det Bedste udi Gjemme Til dig, at du i alskens Nød Dig ikke saart skal græmme. 2 Lad Hedninger, som intet Haab I Jesu Kristo have, Henjordes og med Jammers Raab Al deres Fryd begrave; Den Glæde holder jeg ei paa, Den maa sin Afsked tage. Som ikke længer kan bestaa End med mig Levnets Dage. 3 Men jeg fuldkommen tror og veed, At Jesus Krist, min Herre, Opstod til min Retfærdighed, Til evig Fryd og Ære; Jeg leve vil i ham og dø, Og hvile paa hans Naade, Og, om mit Kjød er kun som Hø, Dog er hans Død min Baade. 4 Thi, som han traadte under Fod Den Død, os vilde felde, Og op igjen fra Døde stod Ved Guddoms Magt og Velde, Saa skal vor' døde Been og Krop Til evigt Liv og Ære Ved Jesu Værdskylds Kraft staa op Forklarede og skjere. 5 Og vi skal engang se den Dag, Da Jesus han vil komme Til de Udvaltes Velbehag Og Trøst for alle Fromme, Med Over-Englers Røst og Skrig, Og Guds Basune røre, Sin Hjord henop til Himmerig Med Herre-Pragt at føre. 6 Derpaa skal de først komme frem, Som er i Kristo døde, Og vi, som leve, skal med dem Henrykkes til at møde Vor Jesum udi Skyen, som Af Naade vil os give, At vi i Himlens Herredom Hos Gud maa stedse blive. 7 Frisk op, min Sjæl, mistrøst dig ei, Om du end skal indtræde Ad en fuld tornet Sti og Vei Til denne store Glæde! Lad Kors og Kummer, Verdens Sorg Dit Hjerte intet bryde, I Himlens store Fryde-Borg Skal Glæde-Strømme flyde! 8 Frygt ei for Døden, men bered Dig villig til at tage Imod hans Bægers Bitterhed, Naar du den faar at smage; Tænk paa den Kalk, som Jesus drak, Fuld af din Synde-Galde, Favn ham i Troen, giv ham Tak, Han dig vil til sig kalde! 9 Frygt ei for Graven, men gak ud Af Verdens megen Jammer, Om raadne skal din Hold og Hud Udi dit Sovekammer; Du skal opreises uden Meen, Naar Kristus aabenbares, Og dine Lemmer hver og een Ved hannem skal forklares. 10 Styrk mig, o Gud, i denne Tro Mod Dødsens grumme Vaade, Lad Sjælen stedse finde Ro I Jesu Død og Naade! Jeg trøster mig i al min Ve, I Skjændsel og Vanære, At jeg skal Gud I Ære se; Hvor godt er der at være!

Hvordan takker vi vor Herre

Author: Brorson Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Hope and Longing for the Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Hvordan takke vi vor Herre, For han gav sin Søn herned? Mange skjønne lidt, desværre, Paa saa stor en Kjærlighed; Deres onde Syndelyst Dække de med Naadens Trøst, Vil af Jesu intet lære, Og dog sande Kristne være. 2 Vistnok ingen Sjæl fordømmes, Naar man paa sin Jesum tror, Naadens Kilde aldrig tømmes, Naaden er og bliver stor; Men det er en afsagt Dom, Siden Jesus til os kom, Skal man sig fra Synden vende, Eller ogsaa evig brænde. 3 At du vil i dine Lyster Fare fort, som du er van, Og dig dog ved Jesum trøster, Gaar i Evighed ei an. Kjære Hjerte, Et af To: Enten udi Bøn og Tro Syndens Vei at fly og hade, Eller lide Sjæleskade. 4 Lyset er i Verden kommet; Veed du ogsaa om du tror? Har du nogen Tid fornummet, At din Jesus i dig bor? Har hans Naade-Straalers Kraft I din Sjæl sin Virkning havt? Kan du i dit Hjerte finde, At der er et Lys derinde? 5 Hvordan gaar man dog og drømmer Udi saadan vigtig Sag, Og i Sikkerhed forsømmer Naadens dyrbare Dag! Det er Tid at sanse vel, Og at sorge for din Sjæl; Det et Tid at forkomme Herrens store Vredes Domme. 6 Gud, som Lyset lod opklare Udi Naadens blide Aar, Vil og ingenlunde spare Den, som dette Lys forsmaar. Vil du vende Ryggen til, Gud dig fra sig støde vil; Den, som ei vil Lyset kjende, Han skal sig paa Lyset brænde. 7 Lad din Naades Glans oprinde, Søde Jesu, at jeg maa Derved altid Veien finde, Som jeg bør at vandre paa! Vær min Formand, at jeg ei Kommer paa den brede Vei, Eller fra dit Fodspor viger, Til jeg ind i Himlen stiger!

Og Jesus selv vil smykke Den Brud, han kaared sig, Da ønsker os til Lykke Det hele Himmerig. 6 Da skal vi høre: Amen, Taksigelse og Pris! Da skal der være Gammen Paa glade Engles Vis; Saa lystelig de sjunge For Lammet og hans Brud, Da raaber hver en Tunge: Nu lovet være Gud! 7 Se, saa vil Gud os finde Og faa fra al vor Nød, Og gjemme godt derinde Fra Djævel, Synd og Død, Fra Sorg og Suk og Klage, Fra Sygdom, sot og Saar, Fra alle onde Dage, Som over Verden gaar. 8 Hvad intet Øre fanget, Hvad intet Øie saa, Hvad aldrig er opganget I noget Hjertes Vraa, Det haver Gud forvaret Til dem, ham elske her, Og bliver aabenbaret Der, Gud i Lyset er. 9 Thi skal I ei forsage, Som nu bær Sorgen stor, Og lider tungsom Plage Paa denne arme Jord! Sig trøste alle Fromme, De Stunder skride fort! Vor Herre snart vil komme, Og tage Sorgen bort. 10 O Herre, for din Ære Før os den rette Sti, Bevar os, Jesus kjære, Thi ellers vildes vi! Hold os i Troen faste I denne Taaredal, Du vil vist ogsaa haste Med os til Himlens Sal!

Jeg er en Fremmed her i Landet

Author: Dorotea Engelbretsdatter Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Longing for Heaven Lyrics: 1 Jeg er en Fremmed her i Landet, Min Fardag ligger i mit Sind, Min Levetid er jammerblandet, Angst-Bølgen driver jevnlig ind; Sent stilles Verdens Trængsel dog, Jeg løses af det Plage-Aag. 2 Min Sjæl, din Uro skal vel lettes, Gud glemmer ikke gammel Pagt, Han lader dig alene trættes Paa denne Vei og Natte-Vagt, At skynde dig med haarde Kaar Fra fremmed Egn til Faders Gaard. 3 Langt borte blidelig han vinker, Hans Ord det søde bud mig bær, Brud'salen fuld af Stjerner blinker, Ak, var jeg allerede der! Ret smart saa ender han min Nød Og Sorg ved en sødsagte Død. 4 Kom, Jesus, naar min Tro er prøvet, Kom hent, hvad dit er, tag imod! Det skal ei blive dig berøvet, Du fæstet mig jo med dit Blod, Jeg længes, naadig Herre, hart, Min Elskede, du kommer snart!

Den sødt skal dæmpe hver en bitter Smerte Og lokke Smilet gjennem Taarer frem.

Leader of faithful souls, and Guide

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Longing For Heaven Lyrics: 1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide Of all who travel to the sky, Come, and with us, even us, abide, Who would on Thee alone rely; On Thee alone our spirits stay, While held in life's uneven way. 2 Strangers and pilgrims here below, This earth, we know is not our place; But hasten through the vale of woe, And, restless to behold Thy face, Swift to our heavenly country move, Our everlasting home above. 3 We've no abiding city here, But seek a city out of sight; Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light, Jerusalem, the saints' abode, Whose founder is the living God. 4 Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne, Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return, Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King, We find it nearer while we sing. 5 Raised by the breath of love divine, We urge our way with strength renewed; The church of the first-born to join, We travel to the mount of God; With joy upon our heads arise, And meet our Captain in the skies.

Appears in 340 hymnals Topics: Hope Longing for heaven Lyrics: 1 I will sing you a song of that beautiful land, The far away home of the soul, Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll. 2 Oh, that home of the soul in my visions and dreams, Its bright, jasper walls I can see; Till I fancy but thinly the veil intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3 That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands, The King of all kingdoms for ever is He, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands. 4 Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain; With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again.

From the deepest caves of ocean, From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. Chorus: We shall sleep, but not for ever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part--no, never, On the resurrection morn! 2 When we see a precious blossom That we tended with such care Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair! Round its little grave we linger, Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. [Chorus] 3 We shall sleep, but not for ever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gave. In the bright eternal city Death can never, never come! In His own good time He'll call us From our rest to home, sweet home. [Chorus]
