O Father, Thy Kingdom Is Come upon Earth

Author: Karolina W. Sandell-Berg; Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4794 Meter: 11.9.11.9.9.9 Lyrics: 1. O Father, Thy kingdom is come upon earth, Thou rulest in all Thy creation; Thou sendest Thy witnesses, telling Thy worth, To call and entreat every nation, With news of Thy mighty salvation, With news of Thy mighty salvation. 2. They lift up a light amid shadows of fear, And love is Thy banner above them; No trouble shall touch them, no foes that appear Shall e’er from their loyalty move them; ’Tis Thou dost uphold and approve them, ’Tis Thou dost uphold and approve them. 3. They go in Thy strength, and they speak in Thy name, With power of Thy promise forth faring, And during the battle the victory claim, Their trust in Thy strength is their daring, Salvation to all men declaring, Salvation to all men declaring.

Carolina Sandell

1823 - 1903 Author of "O Father, thy kingdom is come upon earth" 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. Bert Polman

Person Name: Unknown Translator of "O Father, Thy Kingdom Is Come upon Earth" 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.
