Hymnal: Kirkesalmebog #629 (1893) Hymnal Title: Kirkesalmebog Lyrics: 1 Bedre kan jeg ikke fare,
End at fare til min Gud;
Bedre kan jeg ikke svare,
Naar jeg faar om Døden Bud,
End at jeg er vel bered
Og vil gjerne følge med;
Bedre kan jeg ei opstige,
End at flytte til Guds Rige.
2 Bedre kan jeg ikke fremmes,
End at faa en salig Død;
Bedre kan jeg ikke gjemmes,
End i Herrens Haand og Skjød!
Bedre det ei blive kan
Med min jammerfulde Stand,
End naar Himlens Gud vil sende
Mig en god og salig Ende.
3 Hvad er Verden, at man skulde
Have Lyst deri at bo?
Tiderne de ere fulde
Af al Ondskab og Uro;
Himlens Hus har hellig Fred,
Der er mig er Sted beredt,
Liv og Lyst og Fred og Glæde,
Alt er der i Gud tilstede.
4 Derfor takker jeg saa saare
Gud, som taget har min Aand,
Der jeg ligger paa men Baare,
Lukket Øie, foldet Haand.
Krist, som mine synder bar,
Han, paa hvem jeg troet har,
Ja endog i Døden haaber,
Snart af Graven ud mig raaber. Topics: Særlige Salmer Graven; Special Hymns The Grave; Herliggjørelsen; Glorification Languages: Norwegian
Bedre kan jeg ikke fare
M. B. Landstad
1802 - 1880 Person Name: Landstad Hymnal Title: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika Author (v. 4) of "Bedre kan jeg ikke fare" in Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika Magnus Brostrup Landstad (born 7 October 1802 in Måsøy, Norway and died 8 October 1880 in Kristiania) was a Norwegian minister, psalmist and poet who published the first collection of authentic Norwegian traditional ballads in 1853. This work was criticized for unscientific methods, but today it is commonly accepted that he contributed significantly to the preservation of the traditional ballads.
Landstad lived with his father Hans Landstad (1771–1838) who was also a minister, first in 1806 to Øksnes, to Vinje in 1811 and to Seljord in 1819. He took a theological degree (cand. theol) in 1827, and worked after that as the resident chaplain in Gausdal for six years. After that he worked in different parishes in Telemark, Østfold before he became minister of Sandar in Vestfold in 1859. He married Wilhelmine Margrete Marie Lassen, in 1828. He is well known for introducing popular, contemporary Norwegian language into the hymns he wrote, contributing significantly to the spirit of Norwegian romantic nationalism which grew in Norway in this period.
His greatest single achievement was the Landstad Hymnbook (Kirkepsalmebog), which with later revisions was used in Norwegian (bokmål) parishes from 1869 until 1985. The current official church hymnbook contains a lot of his hymns and his translations of foreign hymns.
He was the cousin of Hans Peter Schnitler Krag.
The Landstad-institute, which lies in Seljord, is named after him.
He was a great grandfather of Magny Landstad, also a famous writer.
