Godt Haab, I gode Kristne
Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: In Need and Danger Lyrics: 1 Godt Haab, I gode Kristne,
Vær trøstig Herrens Smaa!
Lad Venne-Hænder visne,
Og Mandemagt forgaa!
Vi have Jesum her,
Den stærke Gud, i Følge,
Saa hvelver ingen Bølge
Den Krike-Baad, os bær.
2 Giv dig i Herrens Vilje,
Om Veiret bryder hart,
Om Sø gaar over Tilje,
Og Døden stunder snart!
Derover er vort Hjem!
Naar vi Guds Følge have
Lad ryge Storm og Kave,
Han hjælper os nok frem!
3 Ja naar som mest du gruer,
Og Stormen hyler vildt,
Vor Herre Veiret truer,
Og der blir ganske stilt,
Saa lifligt, lyst og lungt!
At vor Magt intet duger,
Naar Herren sin ei bruger,
Det lære vi saa tungt.
4 Det er en liden Fare,
Den tykkes dig saa stor,
Vor herre tager vare,
Han sidder selv ved Ror;
Dig bares for, han sov,
Nu tager han til Orde,
Og Bølgerne om Borde
De sænkes, Gud ske Lov!
5 Og paa den anden Side
Der er en fager By,
Der skal vor Snekke skride,
Og lægge sig i Ly;
Der skal det blive klart,
Hvorfor vi saa mon stevne,
Guds tore Magt og Evne
Skal skues aabenbart.
6 O Gud, naar Arken dukker
I vrede Bølgers Brus,
Naar dine Venner sukker
I synkefærdigt Hus,
Gud styrke os vor Tro,
Gud hore Hjerte-Raabet,
Gud feste Seiers-Haabet,
Gud hjælpe os til Ro!
Godt Haab, I gode Kristne
Kjæmp alvorlig nu, Guds Naade
Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: In Need and Danger Lyrics: 1 Kjæmp alvorlig nu, Guds Naade
Søger at forbedre dig,
At din Aand sig lader raade,
Og fra Jorden letter sig!
2 Kjæmp, thi Livest Port er snæver,
Og den rette Vei er smal,
Lad os trænges, vi oplever
Siden Himmeriges Sal!
3 Kjæmp i hellig Ivers Lue,
Lad de første Kjærlighed
Gjøre dig af denne Tue
Som en Fugl til Flugt bered!
4 Kjæmp med Bønnens Seier-Vaaben,
Og lad Himlen Dag og Nat
Ingen Stilstand for din Raaben,
Før du faar din Jesum fat!
5 Har du da igjennemkjæmpet
Til din Perle og Klenod,
Tænk ei, nu er al Ting dæmpet,
Men bliv ved at holde Fod!
6 Forarbeid med Frygt og Bæven
Sjælens dyre Salighed,
Jevn er Verden aldrig bleven,
Hav et Øie paa hvert Fjed!
7 Ingen Ting formaar at vriste
Kronen af en løftet Haand,
For Bestandighed maa briste
Alle helvedspundne Baand.
8 Hold din Attraa aldrig aaben
Efter Verdens Lyste-Krog,
Hald dig Nat og Dag i Vaaben,
Thi din Fiende er saa klog!
9 Hold din Vilje hart i Tømme,
Giv ei Kjødet Raaderum,
At ei Naadens Lys skal rømme
For de onde Lysters Skum!
10 Slipper Kjødet ud af Skranker,
Straks ei Sjælen vild og stolt,
Hjertet mister Troens Anker
Brystet bliver isekoldt.
11 Troskab, er den ellers ægte,
Gjør med Synden aldrig Fred,
Vil paa Adam aldrig slægte,
Men ham daglig støde ned.
12 Troksab, er den ellers ægte,
Holder sig i Kristi Spor,
Altid færdig til at fegte
Mod den Ondes Magt og Mord.
13 Troskab, er den ellers ægte,
Drager si fra Verden leed,
Vil sig gjerne selv fornegte,
For at naa sit Himmel-Meed.
14 Agter dette, I, som fegte
Trænger hver Dag bedre frem
Med en Troskab, som er ægte,
Til det glade Himmel-Hjem!
Kjæmp alvorlig nu, Guds Naade
Er Skibet nu
Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: In Need and Danger Lyrics: 1 Er Skibet nu
Og Folk i Fare stedt,
Hvi sover du?
O Jesu, kom ihu,
Du er inden Borde med!
Vaagn op og hjælp!
Vi forgaa,
Om du saa,
Vil slumre Hjælpen hen,
O vaagn dog op igjen!
Agt, min Sjæl, hvor han opstod,
Truede den Storme-Flod
Og paa Sorgen gjorde Bod.
2 Jeg ser vel,
at Guds kirke flyde skal,
Og som forladt
Tidt frygte, at hun plat
Drukne maa af
Bølgers Tal;
Dog frydes jeg, og er fro
Ved den Tro,
At Jesus selv er traad
Udi sin Kirke-Baad.
Lad kun Vand og Vinde faa
Magt at bryde hardt derpaa,
Den skal aldrig dog forgaa.
Er Skibet nu

Adlyde dig med største Flid

Og hellig Sammenhæng,
Guds og sin Næstes Glæde
I Kjærlighedens Streng;
Ei Ondt han veed
Sin næste at tilføie,
Hans Hjerte, Mund og Øie
Er fuld af Kjærlighed.
4 O Jesu, fyld mit Hjerte
Med Himlens Kjærlighed,
Lad Falskhed mig ei sværte,
Og gjøre for dig leed!
Din Hjælpe-Haand,
Din Pine, Kors og Vunder
Skal trykke Ondskab under
Udi min Sjæl og Aand! Languages: Norwegian

Blix, samt følgende tillæg 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.

Johann Crüger
1598 - 1662 Person Name: Joh. Crüger Topics: In Need and Danger Adapter of "[Vreden din afvend, Herre Gud, i Naade!]" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Johann Crüger (b. Grossbriesen, near Guben, Prussia, Germany, 1598; d. Berlin, Germany, 1662) Crüger attended the Jesuit College at Olmutz and the Poets' School in Regensburg, and later studied theology at the University of Wittenberg. He moved to Berlin in 1615, where he published music for the rest of his life. In 1622 he became the Lutheran cantor at the St. Nicholas Church and a teacher for the Gray Cloister. He wrote music instruction manuals, the best known of which is Synopsis musica (1630), and tirelessly promoted congregational singing. With his tunes he often included elaborate accompaniment for various instruments. Crüger's hymn collection, Neues vollkomliches Gesangbuch (1640), was one of the first hymnals to include figured bass accompaniment (musical shorthand) with the chorale melody rather than full harmonization written out. It included eighteen of Crüger's tunes. His next publication, Praxis Pietatis Melica (1644), is considered one of the most important collections of German hymnody in the seventeenth century. It was reprinted forty-four times in the following hundred years. Another of his publications, Geistliche Kirchen Melodien (1649), is a collection arranged for four voices, two descanting instruments, and keyboard and bass accompaniment. Crüger also published a complete psalter, Psalmodia sacra (1657), which included the Lobwasser translation set to all the Genevan tunes.
Bert Polman
===============================
Crüger, Johann, was born April 9, 1598, at Gross-Breese, near Guben, Brandenburg. After passing through the schools at Guben, Sorau and Breslau, the Jesuit College at Olmütz, and the Poets' school at Regensburg, he made a tour in Austria, and, in 1615, settled at Berlin. There, save for a short residence at the University of Wittenberg, in 1620, he employed himself as a private tutor till 1622. In 1622 he was appointed Cantor of St. Nicholas's Church at Berlin, and also one of the masters of the Greyfriars Gymnasium. He died at Berlin Feb. 23, 1662. Crüger wrote no hymns, although in some American hymnals he appears as "Johann Krüger, 1610,” as the author of the supposed original of C. Wesley's "Hearts of stone relent, relent" (q.v.). He was one of the most distinguished musicians of his time. Of his hymn tunes, which are generally noble and simple in style, some 20 are still in use, the best known probably being that to "Nun danket alle Gott" (q.v.), which is set to No. 379 in Hymns Ancient & Modern, ed. 1875. His claim to notice in this work is as editor and contributor to several of the most important German hymnological works of the 16th century, and these are most conveniently treated of under his name. (The principal authorities on his works are Dr. J. F. Bachmann's Zur Geschichte der Berliner Gesangbücher 1857; his Vortrag on P. Gerhard, 1863; and his edition of Gerhardt's Geistliche Lieder, 1866. Besides these there are the notices in Bode, and in R. Eitner's Monatshefte für Musik-Geschichte, 1873 and 1880). These works are:—
1. Newes vollkömmliches Gesangbuch, Augspur-gischer Confession, &c, Berlin, 1640 [Library of St. Nicholas's Church, Berlin], with 248 hymns, very few being published for the first time.
2. Praxis pietatis melica. Das ist: Ubung der Gottseligkeit in Christlichen und trostreichen Gesängen. The history of this, the most important work of the century, is still obscure. The 1st edition has been variously dated 1640 and 1644, while Crüger, in the preface to No. 3, says that the 3rd edition appeared in 1648. A considerable correspondence with German collectors and librarians has failed to bring to light any of the editions which Koch, iv. 102, 103, quotes as 1644, 1647, 1649, 1650, 1651, 1652, 1653. The imperfect edition noted below as probably that of 1648 is the earliest Berlin edition we have been able to find. The imperfect edition, probably ix. of 1659, formerly in the hands of Dr. Schneider of Schleswig [see Mützell, 1858, No. 264] was inaccessible. The earliest perfect Berlin edition we have found is 1653.
The edition printed at Frankfurt in 1656 by Caspar Röteln was probably a reprint of a Berlin edition, c. 1656. The editions printed at Frankfurt-am-Main by B. C. Wust (of which the 1666 is in the preface described as the 3rd) are in considerable measure independent works.
In the forty-five Berlin and over a dozen Frankfurt editions of this work many of the hymns of P. Gerhardt, J. Franck, P. J. Spener, and others, appear for the first time, and therein also appear many of the best melodies of the period.
3. Geistliche Kirchen-Melodien, &c, Leipzig, 1649 [Library of St. Katherine's Church, Brandenburg]. This contains the first stanzas only of 161 hymns, with music in four vocal and two instrumental parts. It is the earliest source of the first stanzas of various hymns by Gerhardt, Franck, &c.
4. D. M. Luther's und anderer vornehmen geisU reichen und gelehrten Manner Geistliche Lieder und Psalmen, &c, Berlin, 1653 [Hamburg Town Library], with 375 hymns. This was edited by C. Runge, the publisher, and to it Crüger contributed some 37 melodies. It was prepared at the request of Luise Henriette (q.v.), as a book for the joint use of the Lutherans and the Re¬formed, and is the earliest source of the hymns ascribed to her, and of the complete versions of many hymns by Gerhardt and Franck.
5. Psalmodia Sacra, &c, Berlin, 1658 [Royal Library, Berlin]. The first section of this work is in an ed. of A. Lobwasser's German Psalter; the second, with a similar title to No. 4, and the date 1657, is practically a recast of No. 4,146 of those in 1653 being omitted, and the rest of the 319 hymns principally taken from the Praxis of 1656 and the hymn-books of the Bohemian Brethren. New eds. appeared in 1676, 1700, 1704, 1711, and 1736.

Martin Luther
1483 - 1546 Person Name: Luther Topics: In Need and Danger Translator of "Midt i Livet ere vi" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Luther, Martin, born at Eisleben, Nov. 10, 1483; entered the University of Erfurt, 1501 (B.A. 1502, M.A.. 1503); became an Augustinian monk, 1505; ordained priest, 1507; appointed Professor at the University of Wittenberg, 1508, and in 1512 D.D.; published his 95 Theses, 1517; and burnt the Papal Bull which had condemned them, 1520; attended the Diet of Worms, 1521; translated the Bible into German, 1521-34; and died at Eisleben, Feb. 18, 1546. The details of his life and of his work as a reformer are accessible to English readers in a great variety of forms. Luther had a huge influence on German hymnody.
i. Hymn Books.
1. Ellich cristlich lider Lobgesang un Psalm. Wittenberg, 1524. [Hamburg Library.] This contains 8 German hymns, of which 4 are by Luther.
2. Eyn Enchiridion oder Handbuchlein. Erfurt, 1524 [Goslar Library], with 25 German hymns, of which 18 are by Luther.
3. Geystliche Gesangk Buchleyn. Wittenberg, 1524 [Munich Library], with 32 German hymns, of which 24 are by Luther.
4. Geistliche Lieder auffs new gebessert. Wittenberg. J. Klug, 1529. No copy of this book is now known, but there was one in 1788 in the possession of G. E. Waldau, pastor at Nürnberg, and from his description it is evident that the first part of the Rostock Gesang-Buch, 1531, is a reprint of it. The Rostock Gesang-Buch, 1531, was reprinted by C. M. Wiechmann-Kadow at Schwerin in 1858. The 1529 evidently contained 50 German hymns, of which 29 (including the Litany) were by Luther.
5. Geistliche Lieder auffs new gebessert. Erfurt. A. Rauscher, 1531 [Helmstädt, now Wolfenbüttel Library], a reprint of No. 4.
6. Geistliche Lieder. Wittenberg. J. Klug, 1535 [Munich Library. Titlepage lost], with 52 German hymns, of which 29 are by Luther.
7. Geistliche Lieder auffs new gebessert. Leipzig. V. Schumann, 1539 [Wernigerode Library], with 68 German hymns, of which 29 are by Luther.
8. Geistliche Lieder. Wittenberg. J. Klug, 1543 [Hamburg Library], with 61 German hymns, of which 35 are by Luther.
9. Geystliche Lieder. Leipzig. V. Babst, 1545 [Gottingen Library]. This contains Luther's finally revised text, but adds no new hymns by himself. In pt. i. are 61 German hymns, in pt. ii. 40, of which 35 in all are by Luther.
For these books Luther wrote three prefaces, first published respectively in Nos. 3, 4, 9. A fourth is found in his Christliche Geseng, Lateinisch und Deudsch, zum Begrebnis, Wittenberg, J. Klug, 1542. These four prefaces are reprinted in Wackernagel’s Bibliographie, 1855, pp. 543-583, and in the various editions of Luther's Hymns. Among modern editions of Luther's Geistliche Lieder may be mentioned the following:—
Carl von Winterfeld, 1840; Dr. C. E. P. Wackernagel, 1848; Q. C. H. Stip, 1854; Wilhelm Schircks, 1854; Dr. Danneil, 1883; Dr. Karl Gerok, 1883; Dr. A. F. W. Fischer, 1883; A. Frommel, 1883; Karl Goedeke, 1883, &c. In The Hymns of Martin Luther. Set to their original melodies. With an English version. New York, 1883, ed. by Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon and Nathan H. Allen, there are the four prefaces, and English versions of all Luther's hymns, principally taken more or less altered, from the versions by A. T. Russell, R. Massie and Miss Winkworth [repub. in London, 1884]. Complete translations of Luther's hymns have been published by Dr. John Anderson, 1846 (2nd ed. 1847), Dr. John Hunt, 1853, Richard Massie, 1854, and Dr. G. Macdonald in the Sunday Magazine, 1867, and his Exotics, 1876. The other versions are given in detail in the notes on the individual hymns.
ii. Classified List of Luther's Hymns. Of Luther's hymns no classification can be quite perfect, e.g. No. 3 (see below) takes hardly anything from the Latin, and No. 18 hardly anything from the Psalm. No. 29 is partly based on earlier hymns (see p. 225, i.). No. 30 is partly based on St. Mark i. 9-11, and xvi., 15, 16 (see p. 226, ii.). No. 35 is partly based on St. Luke ii. 10-16. The following arrangement, however, will answer all practical purposes.
A. Translations from the Latin.
i. From Latin Hymns:
1. Christum wir sollen loben schon. A solis ortus cardine
2. Der du bist drei in Einigkeit. O Lux beata Trinitas.
3. Jesus Christus unser Heiland, Der von. Jesus Christus nostra salus
4. Komm Gott Schopfer, heiliger Geist. Veni Creator Spiritus, Mentes.
5. Nun komm der Beidenheiland. Veni Redemptor gentium
6. Was flirchst du Feind Herodes sehr. A solis ortus cardine
ii. From Latin Antiphons, &c.:
7. Herr Gott dich loben wir. Te Deum laudamus.
8. Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich. Dapacem, Domine
9. Wir glauben all an einen Gott.
iii. Partly from the Latin, the translated stanzas being adopted from Pre-Reformation Versions:
10. Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott.
11. Mitten wir im Leben sind. Media vita in morte sumus.
B. Hymns revised and enlarged from Pre-Reformation popular hymns.
12. Gelobet seist du Jesus Christ.
13. Gott der Vater wohn uns bei.
14. Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet.
15. Nun bitten wir den heiligen Geist.
C. Psalm versions.
16. Ach Gott vom Himmel, sieh darein.
17. Aus tiefer Noth schrei ich zu dir.
18. Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott.
19. Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl.
20. Es wollt uns Gott genädig sein.
21. War Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit.
22. Wohl dem, der in Gotten Furcht steht.
D. Paraphrases of other portions of Holy Scripture.
23. Diess sind die heilgen zehn Gebot.
24. Jesaia dem Propheten das geschah.
25. Mensch willt du leben seliglich.
26. Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin.
27. Sie ist mir lieb die werthe Magd.
28. Vater unser im Himmelreich.
E. Hymns mainly Original.

34. Nun freut euch lieben Christengemein.
35. Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her.
36. Vom Himmel kam der Engel Schaar.
In addition to these —
37. Fur alien Freuden auf Erden.
38. Kyrie eleison.
In the Blätter fur Hymnologie, 1883, Dr. Daniel arranges Luther's hymns according to what he thinks their adaptation to modern German common use as follows:—
i. Hymns which ought to be included in every good Evangelical hymn-book: Nos. 7-18, 20, 22, 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36, 38.
ii. Hymns the reception of which into a hymn-book might be contested: Nos. 2, 3, 4, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 33.
iii. Hymns not suited for a hymn-book: Nos. 1, 5, 6, 27, 31, 37.
