The last half of the 19th century also brought forth a number of Danish hymnwriters of considerable merit, such as Chr. Richardt, Pastor J. P. M. Paulli, Pastor Olfert Ricard and Pastor J. Schjorring. The latter is especially known by one song which has been translated into many languages and with which it seems appropriate to close this survey of Danish hymnody.

Schjorring, J.
tr., J. C. Aaberg
| Love from God our Lord, Has forever poured Like a fountain pure and clear. In its quiet source, In its silent course Doth the precious pearl appear. | | Love from God our Lord, Comes with sweet accord, Like a pure and lovely bride. Dwell within my heart, Peace from God impart, Heaven doth with Thee abide. | | Love from God our Lord, Has to man restored Life and peace from heaven above. Who in love remains, Peace from God obtains; God Himself is ever love. | |
