A Grundtvig Hymn

I have mentioned in the past my great admiration for the hymnody of the Danish theologian and poet NFS Grundtvig. While it is a shame that we do not have a better collection of his hymns in English, it is a greater shame that we don't sing the ones that we do have more often. Here is the text of Peace to Soothe Our Bitter Woes (I believe this 1904 translation is now in public domain, as is the tune). The tune, Fred Til Bod, was composed specifically for this hymn. It is often also associated with the hymn Hallelujah! Jesus Lives! (C.B. Garve). The LBW categorized this in the "Christian Hope" secton of the hymnal (LBW #338), ELW places it in the Easter section, where it properly belongs (ELW #381). As a way to introduce a congregation to the hymn, it may also be sung to the tune Dix (Usually associated with As with Gladness Men of Old) or Toplady (Rock of Ages) - or I suppose Gethsemane (Go to Dark Gethsemane), although that tune clashes with the text some. Personally, I find it to be a beautiful hymn, and think it would make a perfect funeral hymn.

Peace, to soothe our bitter woes,
God in Christ on us bestows;
Jesus bought our peace with God
with his holy, precious blood;
peace in him for sinners found
is the gospel's joyful sound.

Peace within the church still dwells
in our welcomes and farewells;
and through God's baptismal pow'r
peace surrounds our dying hour.
Peace be with you, full and free,
now and through eternity.
