Guds Søn har gjort mig fri by Edvard Grieg — Lyrics
Guds Sön har gjort mig fri
Fra Satans Tyrrani,
Fra SyndeStand,
Fra LovensBand,
Fra Dödens Skræk og HelvedBrand.
Min Goel lagde sig
Imellem Gud og mig,
Sig undergav
Min Syndestraf,
Til Marter, Död och Grav.
Det var den Kjærlighed til mig,
Som er så ubegribelig;
Så god,
Imod
En Ond fra Top til Rod:
Der ingen Ting var til Behag,
Undtagen den forbudne Smag,
Med Mund og Hånd,
Ja Sjæl og Ånd
I Fjendens LænkeBånd.
Nu er jeg Gud i Vold,
Trods Slangen tusindfold!
Lad ham kun stå

About Guds Søn har gjort mig fri
This setting of a Danish hymn text is scored for SATB choir. The music opens with a sense of calm assurance, reflecting the text's message of spiritual freedom granted by God's son. The composer explores the text's themes of liberation from sin and death, contrasting moments of quiet reflection with more fervent expressions of newfound faith. The interplay between the voices builds the narrative, illustrating the journey from bondage to the peace found in following Christ's teachings. The anthem concludes with a resolute affirmation of spiritual independence, a powerful statement of conviction set to music that mirrors its triumphant spirit.
