[Most wondrous is of all on earth]
Jeg veed at evigt Himmerig
Author: Ukj.; H. C. Sthen Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jeg veed et evigt Himmerig,
Som ei med Guld det røde
Er tjeldet ud saa prydelig,
Men med Guds Ord bet søde.
2 Der udi bor min Jesus Krist,
Som er Guds Søn den fromme,
Min Festermand, mig venter vist,
Og beder til sig komme.
3 En Pillegrim er jeg forsand,
Men Reise maa jeg ende,
Herfra og til mit Fædreland,
Mig kan ei bedre hænde.
4 Jeg fattig hid til Verden kom,
Saa ringe var min Stamme,
Gaar herfra ud med Haanden tom,
Mig følger Død hin gramme.
5 Dog er jeg vis, at denne Krop
I Døden ei skal blive,
Men skal ved Guds Søns Kraft staa op,
Han vil mig Glæden give.
6 Da fanger jeg, det er min Tro,
Som her leed megen Plage,
For Sorg og Strid Guds Fred og Ro
I alle mine Dage.
7 Jeg skilles fra al Usseldom
Paa denne Jordens Tue,
Min Herre Jesus raaber: Kom!
Du tør slet ikke grue.
8 Jeg dig forløste med mit Blod,
Og elskte dig af Hjerte,
Vær du derfore kun ved godt Mod,
Jeg døve vil din Smerte!
9 Har du mig kjær, min Hjertens Skat,
Hvi vil du dig saa krænke?
Thi paa din Synd, som er forladt,
Jeg aldrig meer vil tænke.
10 Naar Verden al som Flyvesand
Med Guld og Glæde viger,
Da staar jeg hos din høire Haand,
Den Ven, dig aldrig sviger.
11 Thi lader os i Evighed
Gud takke allesammen
For hans den store Miskundhed
Ved Jesus Kristum! Amen.

Most Wondrous Is of All on Earth
Arise All Things That God Has Made
Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise, all things that God has made
And praise His name and glory;
Each leaflet and each grassy blade
Do tell a wondrous story.
2 Though kings of earth together show
Their utmost strength and power,
They could not make a leaflet grow
On herb, or weed, or flower.
3 What shall I say when'er I walk
Where flowers are abounding,
And birds in song together talk,
As thousand harps were sounding.
4 What would I say, if I could spy
The secrets of the ocean,
And see the myriad life go by
In endless, streaming motion.
5 What shall I say when I behold
The stars in countless numbers,
And feel their smiling charm untold
While nature sweetly slumbers.
6 What shall I say when I ascend
To Him who made creation,
And see the angel host attend
His throne in glad elation.
7 What shall I say? Weak are my words
And humble my opinion!
How great Thy wisdom, Lord of lords,
Thy might and Thy dominion!
8 Arise, ye nations of the earth,
And lift your voice to heaven,
Praise God in songs of joy and mirth,
Who all these things hath given. Topics: Sunday School Hymns Divine Care and Providence Used With Tune: [Arise all things that God has made]

Most Wondrous Is Of All On Earth
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #137 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Most wondrous is of all on earth
The kingdom Jesus founded.
Its glory, peace and precious worth
No tongue has fully sounded.
2 Invisible as mind and soul,
And yet of light the fountain,
Its brightness shines from pole to pole
Like lights from lofty mountain.
3 Its secret is the Word of God,
Which does what it proposes,
Which lowers mountains high and broad
And clothes the waste with roses.
4 Let foes against the kingdom rage
With hatred and derision,
God crowns its reign from age to age,
And brings it to fruition.
5 Its glory rises like the morn
When waves at sunrise glitter,
Or like in May the verdant corn
As birds above it twitter.
6 It is the glory of the King
Who bore affliction solely
That He the crown of life might bring
To sinners poor and lowly.
7 And when His advent comes to pass
The Christian's strife is ended,
What here we see as in a glass
Shall then be comprehended.
8 Then shall the kingdom bright appear
With glory true an vernal
And bring His saved a golden year
Of peace and joy eternal. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: [Most wondrous is of all on earth]

Person Name: Ukj. Author of "Jeg veed at evigt Himmerig" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. 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.

N. F. S. Grundtvig
1783 - 1872 Author of "Most Wondrous Is Of All On Earth" in Hymnal for Church and Home 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.
