ANTON MARTIN SCHWEIGAARD
Old heroes proud or merry
Rising to greet him went,
But first of all King Sverre,
From whom was his descent.
*
ANTON MARTIN SCHWEIGAARD
(IN THE CHURCH AFTER THE FUNERAL ORATION)
Give us, God, to Thee now turning,
Fullness of joy, tears full and burning,
Of will the full refining fire!
Hear our prayer o’er his inurning:
His will was ove, the whole discerning,
His whole soul would to it aspire.
Yes, give us yet again,
With power to lead, great men,—
Power in counsel our folk to lead,
Our folk in deed,
Our folk in gladness and in need!
Thou, O God, our want preventest;
To raise the temple Aim Thou lentest,
A spirit bright and pure and great.
When Thou from time to call him meantest,
Her tender soul to him Thou sentest
Who went before to heaven’s gate.
When Thou didst set him free,
An epoch ceased to be.
