TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA {Children of the Heavenly Father)

TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA {Children of the Heavenly Father) Traditional Swedish Melody Carolyne V. Sandell-Berg English Tr. Ernst W. Olson Children of the Heav'nly Father Tryggare kan ingen vara, Safely in His bosom gather An Guds lilla barnaskara, Nestling bird nor star in Heaven Stjarnan ej pa himla fastet, Such a refuge e'er was given. Fageln ej i kanda nastet. God his own doth tend and nourish Herren sina trogna vardar In His Kingdom they will flourish; Uti Sions helga gardar, From all evil things He spares them, Over dem Han sig for barmar, In His mighty arms He bears them. Bar dem uppa fadersarmar. Neither life nor death shall ever Ingen nod och ingen kycka, From the Lord His children sever Skall utur Hans hand dem rycka, Unto them His grace He showeth, Han var van for andra vanner, And their sorrows all He knoweth. Sina barns bekymmer kanner. Though He giveth and He taketh, Se Han raknar haren alia, God His children ne'er forsaketh; Som fran deras hovud falla, His the loving purpose solely, Han oss foder och oss klader, To preserve them pure and holy. Under sorgen Harm oss glader. In 1858, shortly before Karolina Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg (known as Lina Sandell) (1832-1903) wrote the lyrics to this poem, she and her father, the Rev. Jonas Sandell, were on a boat trip across Lake Vattern to Goteborg when he fell overboard and drowned before her eyes. She was twenty-six years of age. The lyrics of this beloved hymn reflect this tragedy. A prolific author, she wrote six hundred fifty hymns in all. The hymn was arranged by Oskar Ahnfelt (1813-1882) after a well-known Swedish melody. Ahnfeld composed or arranged all of the songs of Lina Sandell, and traveled throughout Scandinavia singing her hymns, accompanying himself with a ten-string guitar. The extraordinarily popular Jenny Lind, the "Swedish Nightingale," especially loved her songs and sang them in her concerts in Scandinavia, Europe and America. "Children of the Heavenly Father" was translated by Ernst W. Olson (1870-1958), editor of the Augustana Book Concern in Chicago, for the Hymnal and Order of Service of 1925. He was also a member of the Joint Commission on a Common Hymnal which published the Service Book and Hymnal in 1958. The King of Sweden made Olson a knight of the Royal Order of Vasa in 1948. -Ernst F. Tonsing, Ph.D., 25 October 2009 .

Torgny Lilja Formspråket och »själens palimpsest» i Johannes Edfelts lyrik Licentiatavhandling Stockholms universitet Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen Vårterminen 2011 Abstract Title: Palimpsest of the Soul—Writing and Intertextuality in the Poetry by Johannes Edfelt (licentiate dissertation) The central thesis the author advocates is that the discourse by the Swedish poet Johannes Edfelt (1904–97) during the years 1932–47 inherits a conﬂict between tradition and reality. In order to bridge that division, Edfelt strives not only to be a part of history but also to recapture and change its foundations. The licentiate dissertation subordinates both thematic and linguistic microstructure to an intertextual view. These so called alludemes in Edfelt’s poetry often lead to an ancient origin, in several cases to the philosopher Plato, but also to literary works by Dante, William Shakespeare, Jean Racine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Erik Johan Stagnelius, Søren Kierkegaard, Charles Baudelaire, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Lina Sandell-Berg, Friedrich Nietzsche, August Strindberg, Ernst Josephson, Gustaf Fröding, Erik Axel Karlfeldt, Vilhelm Ekelund, Pär Lagerkvist, Bo Bergman, Martin Buber, Birger Sjöberg, Bertil Malmberg, and Hjalmar Gullberg. This polyphonic murmur of voices from the past creates a dialectical unity, which occurs on a higher level than the traditional monological writing. The conclusion is that only our view of the future can determinate the present and that the artist must not forget this. Reference words: literary theory, intertextuality,

Aihe valikoitui kiinnostuksesta säveltää Soile Ylikuljun kirjoittamia luontoaiheisia runoja lauluiksi. Runouden tutkimusaineistoksi valittiin Suomen evankelis-luterilaisen kirkon virsikirja, josta tutki- taan vuodenaikojen vertauskuvallista merkitystä hengellisessä sanastossa. Tietoperustassa pu- hutaan yleisesti symboliikasta ja vertauskuvallisuudesta sekä kerrotaan virsikirjan historiasta. Virsikirjasta löytyi kymmeniä virsiä, joissa vuodenajat on mainittu. Vuodenajat esiintyivät teksteis- sä sekä vertauskuvallisina että luonnollisina. Toiseen tutkittavaan kokonaisuuteen kuuluvat luonto- ja vuodenaikateemaiset sävellykset eri vuosisadoilta.

1 ELCA Justice for Women Project Annotated Bibliography Lutheran Women in Theology and Religious Studies Updated March, 2012 ______
P a g e | 1 ELCA Justice for Women Project Annotated Bibliography Lutheran Women in Theology and Religious Studies Updated March, 2012 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Greetings: The ELCA Justice for Women Program is pleased to present the first annotated bibliography of Lutheran women scholars in religion, in the United States! Knowing how challenging it can be in our research and writing to find other Lutheran scholars outside of our immediate professional circles, Justice for Women has endeavored to create one field of access to the works of Lutheran women scholars in biblical, theological and religious studies. It is our hope that this bibliography will serve as a great resource for all persons interested in identifying the tremendous scholarship by Lutheran women and will support academic, professional, and personal research in multiple ways. Since research databases, such as ATLA, do not readily yield results that identify scholarship by Lutheran women, this bibliography is greatly needed to assist individual scholars, to edify the ELCA as a whole, and to display the corpus of work that Lutheran women contribute to the academy. And what an impressive list we have begun to develop! There is, indeed, a vast fund of wisdom that exists among us, and certainly there are more Lutheran women voices yet to be heard. Persons still wishing to submit an annotated bibliography may do so by filling out the online form below. At regular intervals throughout the calendar year, the bibliography will be updated to include new submissions. About the bibliography This bibliography is annotated, and divided into seven broad sub-disciplines: Theology, Biblical studies, Church History/Historical Theology, Ecclesiology and Ecclesial Life, Ethics, Worship, and Pastoral Care/Theology.

The Fanny Crosby of Sweden Carolina Sandell Berg (1832-1903)
The Fanny Crosby of Sweden Carolina Sandell Berg (1832-1903) As will be noted in a subsequent chapter, the Nineteenth century witnessed the phenomenon of gifted Christian women assuming a place of primary importance among the foremost hymn-writers of the Church. Just as England had its Charlotte Elliott and Frances Havergal, and America had its Fanny Crosby, so Sweden had its Lina Sandell. The rise of women hymn-writers came simultaneously with the great spiritual revival which swept over America and evangelical Europe in successive tidal waves from 1800 to 1875. In Sweden the religious renaissance received its first impulse, no doubt, from Lutheran Germany. However, the Wesleyan movement in England and America also began to make its influence felt in wider circles, and the coming to Stockholm of such a man as George Scott, an English Methodist, gave added impetus to the evangelical movement which was already under way. Carl Olof Rosenius, Sweden's greatest lay preacher and the most prominent leader in the Pietistic movement in that country, was one of Scott's disciples, although he remained faithful to the Lutheran doctrine and a member of the Established Church to the close of his life. It was in the midst of the Rosenius movement that Lina Sandell became known to her countrymen as a great song-writer. She was born October 3, 1832, at Froederyd, her father being the parish pastor at that place. She was a frail child who preferred to spend her hours in her father's study rather than join her comrades in play.
