Will You--(translation and poem)

Will you stroll in righteous steps; Bright with the mass, Bright with the mass! Amidst heathendom's dim wake, The way toward early daybreak; Bright with the mass, Bright with the mass! Will you follow Jesus Christ; Be ashamed not, Be ashamed not! Amidst the world's cunning lies, Follow Christ, know... Sign in to see full entry.

Not Today, Friend (translation and poem)

Not today, friend, when the sun lushly sends Its rays from heaven's deep indigo blue; But when once to night, day turns different, You are my entire help and comfort true. Not today, freind, when the summer wind is sure With mild draws, quickening blossoms and fronds; But when to the storms and... Sign in to see full entry.

How You Live--(translation and poem)

How you live complete and wander on earth: Forget not your father nor your mother, Forget not your sister nor your brother-- Forget not home and the land there up north! Ah! Allow bells to sound, cries newborn, A babe who inherits humbly, new formed-- Humbly your joy and humbly your harbor, Humbly... Sign in to see full entry.

Be Good!

Be good toward all you behold and meet, Go about in all beautiful ways! In thousands of pained bosoms a wound bleeds, For they scarcely see light and sun rays. O, embrace them all with loving minds And press them mildly, to your heart bind! The carpenter was so richly sure, So go you out, too, in... Sign in to see full entry.

Draw Ouit, Christian Soul! (translation and poem)

Draw out, Christian soul, with a flower and smile To them who despair going! They fight and suffer, consumed by doubts so vile And never the light glowing. Go out as that master whose journey and deeds Resound in thousands of years, That temper affliction and calm crying pleas And the whole of sin... Sign in to see full entry.

When Hindrances--(translation and poem)

When hindrances tower up, obstruct your sight And block all ways out when you try stepping forth-- When the fog stands cold, clammy o'er fields and heights, As never a gleam to see o'er the whole course,-- What say you give completely up your sojourns And thoughts? For fortune's lot to you will not... Sign in to see full entry.

At The Foot Of The Cross ( tranlsation aned poem)

At the foot of the cross there's found peace And counsel for all wounded. It is snatched not by the world's winch piece; Shelter so snug and protected. At the foot of the cross there's joy's throng With harp tones and angel's glad songs. By the foot of the cross lives peace; Therefore with kindness... Sign in to see full entry.

There Is Found On Earth--(translation and poem)

There is found on the earth so many a soul, As boastless, only the work in Christ's Spirit, Who wander round doing well, during a lull And give with heart and give His hand every bit. They forget themselves for to answer the needs, To lament and comfort, where sorrow is long. They offer to a bosom... Sign in to see full entry.

Youth (translation and poem)

As spring gold on woodsy tarn and sound, As sun o'er glacier and bay; As song in from thousands groves around, Are youth's diversionary day. One dreams the most captivating dreams, And all have a gilded glimmer; Groaning from fools of longing it seems, When young men reveal their verve. Then rises... Sign in to see full entry.

Heed Christ, Soul! (translation and poem)

Heed Christ, Sou! For He is worthy to follow In times' prosaic day and night cycle. He is the best leader you can hope to find; In Him there is no spark of lies nor guile. No, He is faithful across all boundaries And good and kind o'er all who understand. Until light and fortune, brotherhood, peace,... Sign in to see full entry.
