Vi tro og trøste paa een Gud

Representative Text

1 Vi tro og trøste paa ein Gud,
Himmelens og Jordens Skaber,
Til sine Børn han tog os ud,
Vor i Kristus kjære Fader.
Han opholder os, og glæder,
Giver alle Kost og Klæder,
Liv og Sjæl vil han bevare,
Værge os for Nød og Fare;
Han sørger for os, holder, Vagt,
For han har alting i sin Magt.

2 Vi ogsaa tro paa Jesus Krist,
Guds enbaarne Søn, vor Herre,
Sand Gud med Faderen forvist,
Eet med ham i Magt og Ære,
Af den Helligaand undfangen,
Af en Jomfru ren fremgangen,
Pint, korsfæstet, død, begraven,
Nedfor opstod tredje Dagen,
Op til Gud Faders høire for,
Gjenkomme skal til Dom paa Jord.

3 Vi tro og paa den Helligaand,
Gud med Faderen og Sønnen,
Han er de Banges Trøstermand,
Pryder dem med Gaver skjønne,
Og forsamler Kristenheden
I een Tro, eet Sind herneden;
Her as bli'r al Synd tilgivet;
Kjødet skal opstaa til Livet;
Os efter Døden er bered
Et saligt Liv i Evighed.

Magnus Brostrup Landstad (born 7 October 1802 in Måsøy, Norway and died 8 October 1880 in Kristiania) was a Norwegian minister, psalmist and poet who published the first collection of authentic Norwegian traditional ballads in 1853.
