1 Sørger ei for dem, som sove
Med Guds Fred i Gravens Skjød!
De paa ny skal Herren love,
Takke høit for Hvile sød,
Ja for Seier over Døden,
Ungdoms-Liv i Morgenrøden,
Høitids-Færd ad Himmel-Vei
Til den Sal, som synker ei.

2 Selv han har os aabenbaret
Til de ømme Hjerters Trøst,
At, naar han i Sky forklaret
Skrider frem med Torden-Røst,
Først han, som Basunen gjalder,
Gravens Folk til Lyset kalder,
Vinker saa fra Mark og By
Alle sine op i Sky.

3 Kristne! hvilken Morgenrøde,
Mange mørke Timer værd,
Naar vi, Levend og Døde,
Mødes med vor Herre kjær,
Skal i Himlens Glans og Ære
Evig hos vor Frelser være,
Love Gud med Engle-Røst!
Husker, det er Herrens Trøst!

In 1810 he became assistant to his father in a parish in Jutland. The sermon he preached at his ordination, on the subject "Why has the Lord's word disappeared from His house," attracted much attention, which is rarely the case with "pro… Go to person page >
