Jesus, dine djupe vunder

Representative Text

1 Jesus, dine djupe Vunder
Og din Daude saar og strid
Huggar meg i alle Stunder,
I all Naud, som Hjartat lid.
Renn meg nokot Vodt i Hug,
Til di Pinsla ser eg bljug;
Det skal Syndehugen kjøva:
Dine Saar med Synd ei høva.

2 Um mitt Kjøt og Blod vil fagna
Seg med urein Lyst og Traa,
Braadt all Syndelyst maa tagna,
Naar eg dine Saar sær sjaa,
Renner Satan inn paa meg,
Som min Skjold eg syner deg;
I ditt Blod han ser meg tvegen,
Og so rømer han er Begen.

3 Og um Vedi vil meg daara,
Lokka ut paa villan Veg
Til den Lyst, som føder Taara,
Daa mitt Auga ser til deg,
Til den Pinsla tung og hard,
Som fyr meg du tolug bar;
Det mot Fresting skal meg liva
Og all syndug Lyst fordriva.

4 Ja mot alt, som Hjartat røyner,
Er der Livd i Dauden din.
Naar me Saal i deg seg løyner,
Liv og Lækjedom eg finn.
Under Krossen gror den Rot,
Som fyr all mi Naud giv bot.
Du meg lagad Liv og Sæla,
Daa du bar all Daudens Fæla.

5 Ja, paa deg mi Tru er botnad,
Du min dyre Frelsarmann!
Ved din Daude Dauden brotnad,
So han meg ei drepa kann.
At eg heve Lut i deg,
Det er Sigersvon fyr meg.
For din Naade vil meg giva
Raad aa standa upp og liva.

6 Hev eg deg uti mitt Hjarta,
Du den djupe Livsens Brunn!
Lat det daa mot Gravi svarta:
Livet renni Daudens Stund.
Ingen Fiend skader meg,
Naar eg løyner meg i deg.
Den, som med din Kross seg dekkjer,
Du til Livet atter vekkjer.

Author: Johann Heermann

Johann Heermann's (b. Raudten, Silesia, Austria, 1585; d. Lissa, Posen [now Poland], 1647) own suffering and family tragedy led him to meditate on Christ's undeserved suffering. The only surviving child of a poor furrier and his wife, Heermann fulfilled his mother's vow at his birth that, if he lived, he would become a pastor. Initially a teacher, Heermann became a minister in the Lutheran Church in Koben in 1611 but had to stop preaching in 1634 due to a severe throat infection. He retired in 1638. Much of his ministry took place during the Thirty Years' War. At times he had to flee for his life and on several occasions lost all his possessions. Although Heermann wrote many of his hymns and poems during these devastating times, his persona… Go to person page >
