Father, make it pure and lowly, Fond of peace, and far from strife; 2 Ever let Thy grace surround it; And its sins be all forgiven; clear the guiding Light; Brother clasps the hand of brother, And steps fearless thro' the night. 911 "Igjennem Nat og Traengsel." 2 One the light of God's dear presence, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, I HAIL, Thou God of grace and glory, 3 One the strain which mouths of thousands 2 Hear us, as thus bending lowly, Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, On the Resurrection shore, 4 Go we onward, pilgrim brothers, Visit first the cross and grave, Bernhardt Severin Ingemann.
