Bred Dina Vita Vingar

Representative Text

1 Bred dina vita vingar,
O Jesus, över mig,
Och lät mig stilla vila
I ve och väl hos dig.
Bliv du mitt allt i allo,
Min visdom och mitt råd,
Och lär mig alla dagar
Att leva blott av nåd.

2 Förlåt mig alla synder
Och två mig i ditt blod.
Giv mig ett heligt sinne,
En vilja ren och god.
Tag i din vård och hägnad
Oss alla, stora, små,
Och låt i frid oss åter
Till nattens vila gå.

Caroline W. Sandell Berg (b. Froderyd, Sweden, 1832; d. Stockholm, Sweden, 1903), is better known as Lina Sandell, the "Fanny Crosby of Sweden." "Lina" Wilhelmina Sandell Berg was the daughter of a Lutheran pastor to whom she was very close; she wrote hymns partly to cope with the fact that she witnessed his tragic death by drowning. Many of her 650 hymns were used in the revival services of Carl O. Rosenius, and a number of them gained popularity particularly because of the musical settings written by gospel singer Oskar Ahnfelt. Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish soprano, underwrote the cost of publishing a collection of Ahnfelt's music, Andeliga Sänger (1850), which consisted mainly of Berg's hymn texts.
