II Reformation Hymnody

 The Danish Reformation began quietly about 1520, and culminated1 peacefully in the establishment of the Lutheran church as the church of the realm in 1536. The movement was not, as in some other countries, the work of a single outstanding reformer. It came rather as an almost spontaneous uprising of the people under several independent leaders, among whom men like Hans Tausen, Jorgen Sadolin, Claus Mortensen, Hans Spandemager and others merely stand out as the most prominent. And it was probably this very spontaneity which invested the movement with such an irresistible3 force that within in a few years it was able to overthrow4 an establishment that had exerted a powerful influence over the country for more than seven centuries.
 
In this accomplishment5 Evangelical hymnody played a prominent part. Though the Reformation gained little momentum7 before 1526, the Papists began as early as 1527, to preach against “the sacrilegious custom of roaring Danish ballads8 at the church service”. As no collection of hymns9 had then been published, the hymns thus used must have been circulated privately10, showing the eagerness of the people to adopt the new custom. The leaders of the Reformation were quick to recognize the new interest and make use of it in the furtherance of their cause. The first Danish hymnal was published at Malmø in 1528 by Hans Mortensen. It contained ten hymns and a splendid liturgy11 for the morning service. This small collection proved so popular that it was soon enlarged by the addition of thirty new hymns and appropriate liturgies12 for the various other services, that were held on the Sabbath day. Independent collections were almost simultaneously13 published by Hans Tausen, Arvid Petersen and others. And, as these different collections all circulated throughout the country, the result was confusing. At a meeting in Copenhagen of Evangelical leaders from all parts of the country, it was decided14 to revise the various collections and to combine them into one hymnal. This first common hymnal for the Danish church appeared in 1531, and served as the hymnal of the church till 1544, when it was revised and enlarged by Hans Tausen. Tausen’s hymnal was replaced in 1569 by The Danish Psalmbook, compiled by Hans Thomisson, a pastor16 of the [14]Church of Our Lady at Copenhagen, and the ablest translator and hymnwriter of the Reformation period. Hans Thomisson’s Hymnal—as it was popularly named—was beyond question the finest hymnal of the transition period. It was exceptionally well printed, contained 268 hymns, set to their appropriate tunes17, and served through innumerable reprints as the hymnal of the Danish church for more than 150 years.
 
Thus the Reformation, in less than fifty years, had produced an acceptable hymnal and had established congregational singing as an indispensable part of the church service. The great upheaval18 had failed, nevertheless, to produce a single hymnwriter of outstanding merit. The leaders in the movement were able men, striving earnestly to satisfy a pressing need. But they were not poets. Their work consisted of passable translations, selections from Pre-Reformation material and a few original hymns by Claus Mortensen, Arvid Petersen, Hans Thomisson and others. It represented an honest effort, but failed to attain19 greatness. People loved their new hymns, however, and clung to them despite their halting metres and crude style, even when newer and much finer songs [15]were available. But when these at last had gained acceptance, the old hymns gradually disappeared, and very few of them are now included in the Danish hymnal. The Reformation produced a worthy20 hymnal, but none of the great hymnwriters whose splendid work later won Danish hymnody an honorable place in the church.
 
Hans Chrestensen Sthen, the first notable hymnwriter of the Danish church, was already on the scene, however, when Hans Thomisson’s Hymnal left the printers. He is thought to have been born at Roskilde about 1540; but neither the date nor the place of his birth is now known with certainty. He is reported to have been orphaned21 at an early age, and subsequently, to have been adopted and reared by the renowned22 Royal Chamberlain, Christopher Walkendorf. After receiving an excellent education, he became rector of a Latin school at Helsingør, the Elsinore of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and later was appointed to a pastorate in the same city. In this latter office he was singularly successful. Lysander, one of his biographers, says of him that he was exceptionally well educated, known as a fine orator23 and noted24 as a successful author and translator. His hymns prove that he was also an earnest and warm-hearted Christian25. The peoples of Helsingør loved him dearly, and for many years, after he had left their city, continued to “remember him with gifts of love for his long and faithful service among them”. In 1583, to the sorrow of his congregation he had accepted a call to Malmø, a city on the eastern shore of the Sound. But in this new field his earnest Evangelical preaching, provoked the resentment26 of a number of his most influential27 parishioners, who, motivated by a wish to blacken his name and secure his removal, instigated28 a suit against him for having mismanaged an inheritance left to his children by his first wife. The children themselves appeared in his defence, however, and expressed their complete satisfaction with his administration of their property; and the trumped29 up charge was wholly disproved. But his enemies still wanted to have him removed and, choosing a new method of attack, forwarded a petition to the king in which they claimed that “Master Hans Chrestensen Sthen because of weakness and old age was incompetent30 to discharge his duties as a pastor”, and asked for his removal to the parishes of Tygelse and Klagstrup. Though the king is reported to have granted the petition, other things seem to have intervened to prevent its execution, and the ill-used pastor appears to have remained at Malmø until his death, the date of which is unknown.
 
Sthen’s fame as a poet and hymnwriter rests mainly on two [16]thin volumes of poetry. A Small Handbook, Containing Diverse Prayers and Songs Together with Some Rules for Life, Composed in Verse, which appeared in 1578, and A Small Wander Book, published in 1591. The books contain both a number of translations and some original poems. In some of the latter Sthen readopts the style of the old folk songs with their free metre, native imagery and characteristic refrain. His most successful compositions in this style are his fine morning and evening hymns, one of which is given below.
 
The gloomy night to morning yields,
 
So brightly the day is breaking;
 
The sun ascends31 over hills and fields,
 
And birds are with song awaking.
 
Lord, lend us Thy counsel and speed our days,
 
The light of Thy grace surround us.
 
Our grateful thanks to God ascend32,
 
Whose mercy guarded our slumber33.
 
May ever His peace our days attend
 
And shield us from troubles somber34.
 
Lord, lend us Thy counsel and speed our days,
 
The light of Thy grace surround us.
 
Redeem35 us, Master, from death’s strong hand,
 
Thy grace from sin us deliver;
 
Enlighten us till with Thine we stand,
 
And make us Thy servants ever.
 
Lord, lend us Thy counsel and speed our days,
 
The light of Thy grace surround us.
 
Then shall with praise we seek repose36
 
When day unto night hath yielded,
 
And safe in Thine arms our eyelids37 close
 
To rest by Thy mercy shielded.
 
Lord, lend us Thy counsel and speed our days,
 
The light of Thy grace surround us.
 
Sthen’s hymns all breathe a meek38 and lowly spirit. They express in the simplest words the faith, hope and fears of a humble39, earnest Christian. The following still beloved hymn6 thus presents a vivid picture of the meek and prayerful spirit of its author.
 
O Lord, my heart is turning
 
To Thee with ceaseless yearning40
 
And praying for Thy grace.
 
Thou art my sole reliance
 
Against my foes’ defiance41;
 
Be Thou my stay in every place.
 
[17]
I offer a confession42
 
Of my severe transgression43;
 
In me is nothing good.
 
But, Lord, Thou wilt44 not leave me
 
And, like the world, deceive me;
 
Thou hast redeemed45 me with Thy blood.
 
Blest Lord of Life most holy,
 
Thou wilt the sinner lowly
 
Not leave in sin and death;
 
Thine anger wilt not sever2
 
The child from Thee forever
 
That pleads with Thee for life and breath.
 
O Holy Spirit, guide me!
 
With wisdom true provide me;
 
Help me my cross to bear.
 
Uphold me in my calling
 
And, when the night is falling,
 
Grant me Thy heavenly home to share.
 
Most widely known of all Sthen’s hymns is his beloved “Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior Blest”. In its unabbreviated form this hymn contains eight stanzas47 of which the initial letters spell the words: “Hans Anno”; and it has become known therefore as “Sthen’s Name Hymn”. The method of thus affixing48 one’s name to a song was frequently practiced by authors for the purpose of impressing people with their erudition. The meek and anxious spirit that pervades49 this hymn makes it unlikely, however, that Sthen would have employed his undoubted skill as a poet for such a purpose. The hymn is thought to have been written at Malmø at the time its author encountered his most severe trials there. And its intimate personal note makes it likely that he thus ineradicably affixed50 his name to his hymn in order to indicate its connection with his own faith and experience. “Sthen’s Name Hymn” thus should be placed among the numerous great hymns of the church that have been born out of the sorrows and travails51 of their authors’ believing but anxious hearts. The translation given below is from the abbreviated46 text now used in all Danish hymnals.
 
Lord Jesus Christ,
 
My Savior blest,
 
My refuge and salvation52,
 
I trust in Thee,
 
Abide53 with me,
 
Thy word shall be
 
My shield and consolation54.
 
[18]
I will confide55,
 
Whate’er betide,
 
In Thy compassion56 tender.
 
When grief and stress
 
My heart oppress,
 
Thou wilt redress57
 
And constant solace58 render.
 
When grief befalls
 
And woe59 appalls60
 
Thy loving care enfolds me.
 
I have no fear
 
When Thou art near,
 
My Savior dear;
 
Thy saving hand upholds me.
 
Lord, I will be
 
Alway with Thee
 
Wherever Thou wilt have me.
 
Do Thou control
 
My heart and soul
 
And make me whole;
 
Thy grace alone can save me.
 
Yea, help us, Lord,
 
With one accord
 
To love and serve Thee solely61,
 
That henceforth we
 
May dwell with Thee
 
Most happily
 
And see Thy presence holy.
 
With Sthen the fervid62 spirit of the Reformation period appears to have spent itself. The following century added nothing to Danish hymnody. Anders Chrestensen Arrebo, Bishop63 at Tronhjem, and an ardent64 lover and advocate of a richer cultivation65 of the Danish language and literature, published a versification of the Psalms66 of David and a few hymns in 1623. But the Danish church never became a psalm15 singing church, and his hymns have disappeared. Hans Thomisson’s hymnal continued to be printed with occasional additions of new material, most of which possessed67 no permanent value. But the old hymns entered into the very heart and spirit of the people and held their affection so firmly that even Kingo lost much of his popularity when he attempted to revise them and remove some of their worst poetical68 and linguistic69 defects. They were no longer imprinted70 merely on the pages of a book but in the very heart and affection of a nation.
