Break Forth, O Sun Of Grace Most Tender
Vor Sjæl er dertil fød og baaren
Author: H. A. Brorson; C. F. Richter Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vor Sjæl er dertil fødd og baaren,
I Gud at vorde skjøn og rig,
Just dertil af ham selv udkaaren,
At vorde ham, sin Skaber, lig;
Hvo kan den Ære noksom prise,
Som Gud har villet os bevise!
2 Her var et Adelskab at finde,
Som Englens, der Guds Aasyn saa,
Ei mindste Lyde var derinde
I Sjælens tilstand og Attraa;
Her kunde nogen Meen ei være,
Thi Gud var Sjælens Lys og Ære.
3 Den drak, af samme Kildes Floder,
Hvoraf den selv var kommen frem,
Og Visdom var dens Selskabsbroder,
Og Pardiset var dens Hjem;
Den havde meer end Rigdom fundet,
Thi den var ret med Gud forbundet.
4 Hvo kan den Liflighed beskrive,
Som Sjælen i sin Gud fornam?
O, at den lod sig fra ham rive,
Sig til ubørlig Last og Skam,
Thi Fienden nu dens Høitidsdage
Har vendt til Skjemsel, Ve og Plage.
5 Nu er den ganske jordisk bleven,
Og intet mere ret forstaar,
Veed ei, hvorhen den er fordreben,
Og vild i denne Verden gaar;
Den kan sig ei til Gud opsvinge,
Men elsker det, som er saa ringe.
6 O Gud, som har en Frelser givet,
At bedre den fortviled' Stand,
Væk Sjælen og igjen til Livet,
Som du og ingen anden kan,
At den igjen kan Visdom finde,
Og ikke mere gaa i Blinde!
7 De Sukke, jeg saa dybt maa drage,
Ak, lad dem dig til Hjertet gaa!
Din søde Kjærlighed at smage
Er al den Deel, jeg stunder paa;
Thi kan jeg elske dig af Hjerte,
Da kan mig intet mere smerte.
8 O, store Gud, hvor skal jeg finde
Den Lue, Hjertet ønsker sig?
O, lad dig, lad dig overvinde,
Og drag mig selv igjen til dig!
Thi bliver du med mig forbunden,
Jeg da min Sjæl igjen har funden.

Christian Friedrich Richter
1676 - 1711 Person Name: C. F. Richter Author of "Vor Sjæl er dertil fød og baaren" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Richter, Christian Friedrich, son of Sigismund Richter, Rath and Chancellor to Count von Promnitz at Sorau, in Brandenburg, was born at Sorau, Oct. 5, 1676. At the University of Halle he was first a student of medicine and then of theology. In 1698, A. H. Francke appointed him Inspector of the Paedagogium, and then made him, in 1699, physician in general to all his Institutions. In company with his younger brother, Dr. Christian Sigismund Richter, he made many chemical experiments, for which he prepared himself by special prayer; and invented many compounds which came into extensive use under the name of the “Halle Medicines," the most famous being the Essentia dulcis, which was a preparation of gold. He died at Halle, Oct. 5, 1711 (Koch, iv. 354, &c).
Richter was one of the most important hymnwriters among the Pietists of the earlier Halle school; and his hymns possess the defects as well as the excellences of his school. They are emotional, and develop the idea of the spiritual union with Christ as the Bridegroom of the soul, with a minuteness that is hardly reverent (e.g. No. xi. below). They are also frequently not clearly thought out, and consequently somewhat obscure. Various of them are in unusual metres, and were wedded to tunes not very devotional in character. Apart from these defects there are various of his hymns worthy of note for their genuine, fervent piety, their childlike spirit of love to God, and the depth of Christian experience embodied in them. They appeared principally in the various Pietistic hymn-books of the period, especially in Freylinghausen's Gesang-Buch, 1704 and 1714, and were collected and appended (as his Geistliche Lieder) to an essay edited by his brother (named above) and published at Halle, in 1718, as Erbauliche Betrachtungen vom Ur sprung und Adel der Seelen.
Richter's hymns …which have passed into English are:—
i. Gott den ich als Liebe kenne. For the Sick. Included in Freylinghausen's Neues geistreiches Gesang-Buch, 1714, No. 647, in 7 stanzas of 8 lines, repeated, 1718, as above, p. 420, entitled, "Hymn in Sickness." According to Ehmann, in his edition of Gottfried Arnold, 1856, p. xii., it had previously appeared in Arnold's Heilsamer Rath und Unterricht für Kranke und Sterbende, 2nd edition, 1709. It is in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851, No. 603. Translated as :—

Inspired by her relations of her inner experience, he embodied her thoughts in this fine hymn. Tr. as:— "O what joy for them is stored." By Mrs. Bevan, 1858, p. 68. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

H. Bogatzky, after a narrow escape on one of his journeys in Bohemia; and adds that as the hymn, with its Swabian melody, was a great favourite of the poet Uhland, it was accordingly played by the trumpeters from the tower of St. George's Church, on July 14,1873, at the ceremony of the unveiling of the statue erected to his memory in Tübingen.
