Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening Lyrics: 1 Salig er den Mand, som ikke Vanker i de Ondes Sag, Gaar ei efter Synde-Skikke, Sidder ei i Spotter-Lag, Men hvis Lyst er Herrens Ord, Herrens Lov og Ret paa Jord, Og som alt sit Liv til Ende Grunder paa Guds Vei at kjende! 2 Som et Træ, der stander plantet Ved en Bæk i fagre Dal, Grønnes op fra Aar til andet, Og bær Frugter uden Tal, Saa den Fromme hos sin Gud Staar i Aanden frisk og prud, Med Velsignelser han smykkes, Hvad han gjør, da skal det lykkes. 3 Men, o Kristne! anderledes Vorder med de Onde gjort, De er Avner lig, som spredes, Og af Veieret blæses bort. Derfor ei, naar Dommen gaar Over Jorden, de bestaar, Men, hvor Fromme frelste mødes, Alle Syndere udstødes. 4 Thi de Godes Verk og Veie Kjendes Gud af Naade ved, Den Velsignelse, de eie, Vare skal i Evighed, Men de Ondes Agt og Id Skal forgaa til evig Tid. Hjælpe Gud da os i Naade Til ret Vei og Vandringsmaade! Scripture: Psalm 1

Vor Trængsel, hvor besværlig

Author: Brorson Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Vor Trængsel, hvor besværlig Den ogsaa synes kan, Er for Guds Folk en herlig Og uskatterlig Stand. Vor Trængsel, naar vi træde I Jesu Fodspor ned, Bereder os en Glæde Og evig Herlighed. 2 Vor Trængsel er en Gave Af Jesu milde Haand, Et Tegn, som de skal have, Der drives af Guds Aand. Vor Trængsel er en Ære, Som Gud os dertil gav Vor Jesus lig at være, Det rose vi os af. 3 Vor Trængsel gjør os trætte Af Verdens Slaveri, Og derimod saa lette At gaa paa Livets Sti. Vor Trængsel gjør bestandig I Jesu rene Sind, Frimodig, stærk og mandig At gaa i Kompen ind. 4 Vor Trængsel er det Merke, Hvorefter Jesus ser, Naar Torden af den stærke Guds Doms Basune sker; Da skal vor Trængsel give Sin fulde Glædes Frugt, Vor bitre Myrra blive En evig Livsens Lugt. 5 Hvem vilde da ei lide, Og gjerne takke til? Hver skynde sig at stride, Som vist til Himlen vil! Saa skulle selv I finde, Hvad de for Ære faa, Som der i Verden vinde, Naar Kronen sættes paa. 6 O søde Kors, min Lykke Og skjønne Arvedel, Guds Kirkes gyldne Smykke Og deilige Juvel! Her vil jeg glad dig bære Med Kys og Favnetag, Og siden fange Ære Af dig paa Dommens Dag.

Saa skal da Mammon vige

Author: H. A. Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass Lyrics: 1 Saa skal da Mammon vige, Og Verdens Trældoms Stand, Vor Jesu Naades Rige Det aldrig lide kan. Hvad skal Afguderi, Paa Verdens Sand at bygge I Jesu Kirkes Skygge? Nei, Naaden gjør os fri. 2 Lad spørge den, som ikke Guds søde Naade ser: Hvad skal jeg æde, drikke, Hvo skal mig klæde meer? Vil Hedninger end gaa, Med Verden sig at kvæle, Saa bør Guds Barne-Sjæle Det bedre dog forstaa. 3 O, hvilken Skam at løbe Fra Gud, som dyre lod Os Dødens Fanger kjøbe Med Jesu eget Blod, Og give sig hen i Den haarde Verdens Plage, Og ofre sine Dage Til evigt Slaveri! 4 Vil du ei andet have End Verden til din Skat, Saa er du jo en Slave I Trældom Dag og Nat, Før du kan noget faa; Og er dern noget vundet, Med Frygt er Sjælen bundet, At det igjen skal gaa. 5 Saa prøv dig nu i Grunden, Om du ei Verden har I Hjertet, Gud i Munden, Og dermed Sagen klar! Som Hykleren er van, Paa Mammon kun at haabe, Paa Gud sig dog beraabe, Det gaar umulig an. 6 Vil du det trolig mene, Din Gud at tjene her Saa være han alene Dig over al Ting kjær; Men er dig Verden stor, Og Alt i dine Tanker, Saa har du mist dit Anker, Og feiler uden Ror. 7 Men har I Gud til Fader, Han er at lide paa, Saa glædes kun, og lader Al Verdens Jammer gaa! Hvad skal unyttig Sorg, Om Næring tungt at spørge, Saa længe Gud vil sørge Og være eders Borg? 8 Er Himlens Slot vort eget, Gud selv og hvad han har, Hvad er dog dette meget! Jo Sagen er for klar At kunne tvile paa, Om og vort Legems Næring, Saa kort en Reises Tæring, Er hos vor Gud at faa. 9 Kun frisk, I fromme Hjerter! Og sænker eder ned Med alle eders Smerter I Jesu Kjærlighed! Du Guds udvalte Flok, Stræv kun af alle Kræfter, At følge Jesum efter, Saa har og faar du nok!

John Cennick

1718 - 1755 Person Name: J. Cennick Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Author of "Children of the heavenly King" in The Lutheran Hymnary John Cennick was born at Reading, Berkshire, in the year 1717. He became acquainted with Wesley and Whitefield, and preached in the Methodist connection. On the separation of Wesley and Whitefield he joined the latter. In 1745, he attached himself to the Moravians, and made a tour in Germany to fully acquaint himself with the Moravian doctrines. He afterwards ministered in Dublin, and in the north of Ireland. He died in London, in 1755, and was buried in the Moravian Cemetery, Chelsea. He was the author of many hymns, some of which are to be found in every collection. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872. ======================= Cennick, John, a prolific and successful hymnwriter, was descended from a family of Quakers, but brought up in the Church of England. He assisted J. Wesley and then G. Whitefield in their labours for a time, and then passed over to, and died as a minister of, the Moravian Church. Born at Reading, Dec. 12, 1718, he was for some time a land surveyor at Reading, but becoming acquainted with the Wesleys in 1739, he was appointed by J. Wesley as a teacher of a school for colliers' children at Kingswood in the following year. This was followed by his becoming a lay preacher, but in 1740 he parted from the Wesleys on doctrinal grounds. He assisted Whitefield until 1745, when he joined the Mora¬vians, and was ordained deacon, in London, in 1749. His duties led him twice to Germany and also to the North of Ireland. He died in London, July 4, 1755. In addition to a few prose works, and some sermons, he published:— (1) Sacred Hymns, for the Children of God in the Days of their Pilgrimage, Lond., J. Lewis, n.d. (2nd ed. Lond., B. Milles, 1741), Pts. ii., iii., 1742; (2) Sacred Hymns for the Use of Religious Societies, &c, Bristol, F. Farley, 1743; (3) A Collection of Sacred Hymns, &c, Dublin, S. Powell, 3rd ed., 1749; (4) Hymns to the honour of Jesus Christ, composed for such Little Children as desire to be saved. Dublin, S. Powell, 1754. Additional hymns from his manuscripts were published by his son-in-law, the Rev. J. Swertner, in the Moravian Hymn Book, 1789, of which he was the editor. There are also 16 of his hymns in his Sermons, 2 vols., 1753-4, some being old hymns rewritten, and others new. Many of Cennick's hymns are widely known, as, "Lo, He cometh, countless trumpets;" “Brethren, let us join to bless;" "Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone;" "Children of the heavenly King;" "Ere I sleep, for every favour;" "We sing to Thee, Thou Son of God;" and the Graces: " Be present at our table, Lord;" and "We thank Thee, Lord;" &c. Some of the stanzas of his hymns are very fine, but the hymns taken as a whole are most unequal. Some excellent centos might be compiled from his various works. His religious experiences were given as a preface to his Sacred Hymns, 1741. In addition to the hymns named, and others annotated under their first lines, the following are in common use:— 1. Be with me [us] Lord, where'er I [we] go. Divine Protection. [1741.] 2. Cast thy burden on the Lord. Submission. [1743.] 3. Not unto us, but Thee alone. Praise to Jesus. [1743.] 4. Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb. Priesthood of Christ. [1743.] 5. We sing to Thee, Thou Son of God. Praise to Jesus. [1743.] 6. When, 0 dear Jesus, when shall I? Sunday Evening. [1743.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Lowell Mason

1792 - 1872 Person Name: L. Mason Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Composer of "[My faith looks up to Thee]" in The Lutheran Hymnary Dr. Lowell Mason (the degree was conferred by the University of New York) is justly called the father of American church music; and by his labors were founded the germinating principles of national musical intelligence and knowledge, which afforded a soil upon which all higher musical culture has been founded. To him we owe some of our best ideas in religious church music, elementary musical education, music in the schools, the popularization of classical chorus singing, and the art of teaching music upon the Inductive or Pestalozzian plan. More than that, we owe him no small share of the respect which the profession of music enjoys at the present time as contrasted with the contempt in which it was held a century or more ago. In fact, the entire art of music, as now understood and practiced in America, has derived advantage from the work of this great man. Lowell Mason was born in Medfield, Mass., January 8, 1792. From childhood he had manifested an intense love for music, and had devoted all his spare time and effort to improving himself according to such opportunities as were available to him. At the age of twenty he found himself filling a clerkship in a banking house in Savannah, Ga. Here he lost no opportunity of gratifying his passion for musical advancement, and was fortunate to meet for the first time a thoroughly qualified instructor, in the person of F. L. Abel. Applying his spare hours assiduously to the cultivation of the pursuit to which his passion inclined him, he soon acquired a proficiency that enabled him to enter the field of original composition, and his first work of this kind was embodied in the compilation of a collection of church music, which contained many of his own compositions. The manuscript was offered unavailingly to publishers in Philadelphia and in Boston. Fortunately for our musical advancement it finally secured the attention of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society, and by its committee was submitted to Dr. G. K. Jackson, the severest critic in Boston. Dr. Jackson approved most heartily of the work, and added a few of his own compositions to it. Thus enlarged, it was finally published in 1822 as The Handel and Haydn Society Collection of Church Music. Mason's name was omitted from the publication at his own request, which he thus explains, "I was then a bank officer in Savannah, and did not wish to be known as a musical man, as I had not the least thought of ever making music a profession." President Winchester, of the Handel and Haydn Society, sold the copyright for the young man. Mr. Mason went back to Savannah with probably $500 in his pocket as the preliminary result of his Boston visit. The book soon sprang into universal popularity, being at once adopted by the singing schools of New England, and through this means entering into the church choirs, to whom it opened up a higher field of harmonic beauty. Its career of success ran through some seventeen editions. On realizing this success, Mason determined to accept an invitation to come to Boston and enter upon a musical career. This was in 1826. He was made an honorary member of the Handel and Haydn Society, but declined to accept this, and entered the ranks as an active member. He had been invited to come to Boston by President Winchester and other musical friends and was guaranteed an income of $2,000 a year. He was also appointed, by the influence of these friends, director of music at the Hanover, Green, and Park Street churches, to alternate six months with each congregation. Finally he made a permanent arrangement with the Bowdoin Street Church, and gave up the guarantee, but again friendly influence stepped in and procured for him the position of teller at the American Bank. In 1827 Lowell Mason became president and conductor of the Handel and Haydn Society. It was the beginning of a career that was to win for him as has been already stated the title of "The Father of American Church Music." Although this may seem rather a bold claim it is not too much under the circumstances. Mr. Mason might have been in the average ranks of musicianship had he lived in Europe; in America he was well in advance of his surroundings. It was not too high praise (in spite of Mason's very simple style) when Dr. Jackson wrote of his song collection: "It is much the best book I have seen published in this country, and I do not hesitate to give it my most decided approbation," or that the great contrapuntist, Hauptmann, should say the harmonies of the tunes were dignified and churchlike and that the counterpoint was good, plain, singable and melodious. Charles C. Perkins gives a few of the reasons why Lowell Mason was the very man to lead American music as it then existed. He says, "First and foremost, he was not so very much superior to the members as to be unreasonably impatient at their shortcomings. Second, he was a born teacher, who, by hard work, had fitted himself to give instruction in singing. Third, he was one of themselves, a plain, self-made man, who could understand them and be understood of them." The personality of Dr. Mason was of great use to the art and appreciation of music in this country. He was of strong mind, dignified manners, sensitive, yet sweet and engaging. Prof. Horace Mann, one of the great educators of that day, said he would walk fifty miles to see and hear Mr. Mason teach if he could not otherwise have that advantage. Dr. Mason visited a number of the music schools in Europe, studied their methods, and incorporated the best things in his own work. He founded the Boston Academy of Music. The aim of this institution was to reach the masses and introduce music into the public schools. Dr. Mason resided in Boston from 1826 to 1851, when he removed to New York. Not only Boston benefited directly by this enthusiastic teacher's instruction, but he was constantly traveling to other societies in distant cities and helping their work. He had a notable class at North Reading, Mass., and he went in his later years as far as Rochester, where he trained a chorus of five hundred voices, many of them teachers, and some of them coming long distances to study under him. Before 1810 he had developed his idea of "Teachers' Conventions," and, as in these he had representatives from different states, he made musical missionaries for almost the entire country. He left behind him no less than fifty volumes of musical collections, instruction books, and manuals. As a composer of solid, enduring church music. Dr. Mason was one of the most successful this country has introduced. He was a deeply pious man, and was a communicant of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Mason in 1817 married Miss Abigail Gregory, of Leesborough, Mass. The family consisted of four sons, Daniel Gregory, Lowell, William and Henry. The two former founded the publishing house of Mason Bros., dissolved by the death of the former in 19G9. Lowell and Henry were the founders of the great organ manufacturer of Mason & Hamlin. Dr. William Mason was one of the most eminent musicians that America has yet produced. Dr. Lowell Mason died at "Silverspring," a beautiful residence on the side of Orange Mountain, New Jersey, August 11, 1872, bequeathing his great musical library, much of which had been collected abroad, to Yale College. --Hall, J.
