From The Graves Remove Dark Crosses

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From the graves remove dark crosses, Grow the lilies in their stead, Blend the flower's with tender mosses, Plant sweet roses in the bed. Place, instead of signs of grief, Angel wings in bright relief. Palms instead of columns broken, Words of hope that God has spoken. 2 Sudden darkness light succeeded When for us He shed His blood, Brighter light to us was deeded When the Victor with us stood. Now our praises rise on high 'Neath the Easter morning sky Unto Christ, the resurrected, Prov'd to be of God elected. 3 See the friends of Jesus grieving: How they wring their hands in woe! They, although in Him believing, Saw Him yielding to the foe. When released from death's sharp throes, He, the Easter Sun, arose, They beheld the tomb now broken, Angels pointing to the token. 4 "Open tombs! The saints surrender!" Jesus' voice in dusk of day Sounds in accents strong, yet tender, Shedding light upon our way, He is calling, but not now "Adam, sinner, where art thou?" No, He says with gracious favor: "Here am I, your risen Savior." 5 Here He is, the God-man risen, Broken are the chains of death. Opened is our gloomy prison, And His word is life and breath; Now a summer morning bright Dawns on us to end our night; And, their Easter anthems singing, Souls their way to Him are winging.

Who Will Join The Throng To Heaven?

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who will join the throng to heaven? Come, our Savior calleth thee. Come while yet the chance is given, Humbly bow to Him the knee. Turn from sin thy face away, With the world no longer stray; Greater things are thee awaiting Than the world's despair and hating. 2 Hast thou spent thy days in chasing Phantoms of delight and glee? Hast thou fondly been embracing Sin with all its agony? Oh then turn to Calvary, Let the cross thy solace be, With a heart contrite and lowly Give thyself to Jesus wholly. 3 He alone can safely guide thee On the way to yonder shore, Thou art safe with Him beside thee, Having help for thee in store, But without Him thou shalt fail, All thy wisdom, like a tale, In the final test shall perish; Jesus only thou must cherish. 4 Come ye Christians brave the weather, Courage take from God above, Like a phalanx stand together, Being one in faith and love. Keep ye Jesus ever near And His holy name revere. Help and strengthen one another Ev'ry selfish tho't to smother. 5 It is time we should be starting, Death is swiftly drawing nigh; Time, that we should be departing For a place with Christ on high. Take His cross and start today All who dare not risk delay; Come while yet the chance is given, Who will join the throng to heaven?

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Pilgrim, såg mig, hvar är grafven? Lyrics: 1 Pilgrim, säg mig, hvar är grafven? Visa mig, hvar korset stod. Bortom bergen, bortom hafven, Bortom dal och bortom flod Under palmer är en graf, Lägg där ned din vandringsstaf, Ty där flöt det blodet röda, Lammets blod, som lät sig döda. 2 Grafvens mörker där betäckte Himlens konung, Herren Gud. Tvänne dagar sorgen räckte, Tredje dagen glädjens bud Kom till sorgsna vänner fram: Jesus, som på korsets tam Måst för världens synder blöda, Är uppstånden från de döda.

N. F. S. Grundtvig

1783 - 1872 Author of "From The Graves Remove Dark Crosses" in American Lutheran Hymnal Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig was the son of a pastor, and was born at Udby, in Seeland, in 1783. He studied in the University of Copenhagen from 1800-1805; and, like some other eminent men, did not greatly distinguish himself; his mind was too active and his imagination too versatile to bear the restraint of the academic course. After leaving the university he took to teaching; first in Langeland, then (1808) in Copenhagen. Here he devoted his attention to poetry, literature, and Northern antiquities. 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 "probationers'" sermons. On his father's death, in 1813, he returned to Copenhagen, and for eight years devoted himself mainly to literature. The poetry, both secular and religious, that he produced, drew from a friend the remark that "Kingo's harp had been strung afresh." In 1821 King Frederik vi. appointed him pastor of Prasloe, a parish in Seeland, from which he was the next year removed to Copenhagen, and made chaplain of St. Saviour's church in Christianshavn. From the time of his ordination he had been deeply impressed with Evangelical church sentiments, in opposition to the fashionable Rationalism and Erastianism of the day; and adhered to the anti-rationalist teaching of Hauge, whose death at this time (1824) seemed to be a call to Grundtvig to lift up his voice. An opportunity soon presented itself; Professor Clausen brought out a book entitled Katholicismens og Protestantismens Forfatning, Ldre, og Ritus ("The condition, teaching, and ritual of Catholicism and Protestantism"). This book was replete with the Erastian Rationalism which was so especially distasteful to Grundtvig, who forthwith, in his Kirkens Gjenmsele ("The Church's Reply," 1825), strongly opposed its teaching, and laid down truer principles of Christian belief, and sounder views of the nature of the Church. This caused a sensation: Grandtvig (who had not spared his opponent) was fined 100 rixdollars, and the songs and hymns which he had written for the coming celebration of the tenth centenary of Northern Christianity were forbidden to be used. On this he resigned his post at St. Saviour's, or rather was forced to quit it by a sentence of suspension which was pronounced in 1826, and under which he was kept for 13 years. He took the opportunity of visiting England in 1829, 30, and 31, and consulting its libraries, mainly with a view to a further insight into Northern antiquities, and to help his studies in the early English tongue. His edition of Cynewulfs beautiful poem of the Phenix from the Codex Exoniensis, the Anglo-Saxon (so-called) text, with a preface in Danish, and a fri Fordanskning (free rendering in Danish), published in 1840*, is a result of this journey and enforced leisure. Tired of his long silence, his numerous friends and admirers proposed to erect a church for him, and form themselves into an independent congregation, but this was not permitted. He was allowed, however, to hold an afternoon service in the German church at Christianshavn. There ho preached for eight years, and compiled and wrote his hymn-book, Sang-Vdrk til den Danske Kirkce ("Song-work for the Danish Church"). He still worked on towards his object of raising the Christian body to which ho belonged from the condition of a mere slate establishment to the dignity of a gospel-teaching national church. In 1839 (the year of the death of King Frederik vr., and the accession of his cousin Chrisliem vni.) the suspension was removed, and he was appointed chaplain of the hospital Vartou, a position which he held till his death. In 1863 the king (Frederik vn.) conferred on him the honorary title of bishop. The good old man died suddenly, in his 89th year, on Sept. 2, 1872, having officiated the day before. As Kingo is the poet of Easter, and Brorson of Christmas, so Grundtvig is spoken of as the poet of Whitsuntide. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology,, p. 1001 (1907)

Person Name: Okänd Composer of "[Pilgrim, såg mig, hvar är grafven?]" in Andeliga Sånger (3. upplagan) 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.
