Other songs from Babette's Feast

Here is my transcription of the other songs in Babette's Feast. Corrections welcomed

Åh Herre lad dit rige

På jorden her nedstige

Med kraft og nådens ånd

At løse syndens bånd

På det vi kan fornemme

At Guds hos folket bor

Og at du, Gud, har hjemme

Hos dem, der på dig tror.

The song that they sing for Grace is as follows

Jerusalem mit hjertes hjem

Du evigt kære navn

Aengstes ej du omsorgsfulde

For dit daglig brød of klæde

Kryb og stene ej du rækker

Til det barn, der bad om brød.

Postscript 21/02/2021 The tune for this was composed by Per Nørgård for the film in 1998. It has been published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen ref WH30900

There are two rather lovely songs sung at the end: One is part of a very long one of Grundtvigian proportions by Tomas Kingo and a version of it can be found in the Danish Hymnbook no. 766

Se, hvor sig dagen atter skynder,

i vestervand sig solen tog,

vor hviletime snart begynder;

o Gud, som udi lyset bor

og sidder udi Himmelsal,

vær du vort lys i mørkeds dal.

Vort timeglas det alt nedrinder,

af natten drives dagen bort,

al verdens herlighed forsvinder

og varer kun så ganske kort;

Gud, lad dit lys ej blive slukt

Og nådens dør ej heller lukt.

The tune is by Georg Neumark 1647: Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walte. The last two lines differ from the Danish Hymnbook.

The last song that the Guests at the meal sing, round the village pump is the last verse of no. 399 in the Danish Hymnbook.

Klokken slår, tiden går,

evigheden os forestår.

Lad os da bruge den kostbare tid,

tjene vor Herre med al vor flid,

så skal vi nok komme hjem!

I have not identified the tune but there can't be many to that metre 6.7.9.9.7.

Postcript 21 Feb 2021. I have now discovered that the tune for Klokken slår was composed by Per Nørgård for the film in 1998. It has been published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen ref WH30900
