Song: Very common funeral hymn in Norway. English version is known as
Take Thou My Hands O Father,and the original language Nimm Da Meine Hände. Så ta da mine hender 6 -6 6 -55 5-4 og før meg frem 5 -5 6 5 inntil jeg salig ender 6-6 6 -55 5-4 i himlens hjem! 5 -56 5 Jeg kan ei gå alene, 5 -4 6 -5 -66-6-7 nei, intet sted. 7 -7-6 6 Hvor du meg fører ene, 6 7 7 -7-6 65 jeg følger med. -5 5-4 4 La intet mer meg skille fra nåden din, og gjør meg ganske stille, o Jesus min. Ved dine føtter ene er barnet trygt, på deg, på deg alene min tro er bygt. Selv om jeg ei fornemmer din sterke hånd, min salighet dog fremmer din gode Ånd. Så ta da mine hender og før meg frem inntil jeg salig ender i himlens hjem.

O take my hand, dear Father, and lead Thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending I dwell with Thee.
Alone I cannot wander one single day,
So do Thou guide my footsteps on life’s rough way.

 

O cover with Thy mercy my poor, weak heart,
Lest I in joy or sorrow from Thee depart.
Permit Thy child to linger here at Thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting with faith complete.

 

Though oft Thy power but faintly may stir my soul,
With Thee, my Light in darkness, I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father, and lead Thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending I dwell with Thee.
