When he later was appointed forester of the district of Vordingborg, they were married and moved to that place, and within five years Birgitte became the mother of four children. She employed all her spare time for diligent study, especially of the German, French, and English languages, with the result that she could read the poetic works of these nations in the original.

During this period, so unfavorable for sacred poetic art, the Harbo-Guldberg hymn collection was built up. The new hymns may be recognized by their stilted style and their empty, high-sounding phrases, which are as contrary to the true spirit and essence of Christian devotion as they are out of harmony with the unpretentious simplicity of our chorale melodies.

In he took up his studies at the university of Copenhagen, where his interest seems to have centered more upon the humanistic sciences than upon theology. Besides theology he studied philology, history, and philosophy. But the strain was too much for him. He was taken sick and had to go home in , without taking the final examinations. His stay at this place had a decisive influence upon his life and gave direction to his efforts.

From his parents, and especially from his pious and somewhat melancholy mother, he had received deep-toned religious impressions. At an early age he had been influenced by the spiritual awakening which especially proceeded from Halle; but it was not until the time of his quiet activity as a teacher that this spiritual tendency found an opportunity for development. After having passed the final examination in Copenhagen, October, , he accepted a call from Randrup, his native city.

These were the happiest years of his life and here he began to write his hymns. Here a curious condition obtained: Brorson preached in Danish, but the congregation sang their hymns in German. To remedy this, Brorson wrote a number of Christmas hymns, Among these may be mentioned: No one has written more beautiful Christmas hymns, as one biographer writes: When the bishopric of Ribe became vacant, in , Brorson was appointed on the 5th of May of the same year, to fill this office. Since this is one of the first hymns published by Brorson, it seems unlikely that the king, several years later, should be uncertain as to its authorship.

Shortly afterwards his wife, at the age of thirty-six, gave birth to her thirteenth child, and both she and the child lost their lives. Brorson was so downhearted on this account that he was inclined to resign his office. In spite of his firm belief in the fatherly guidance of God, he suffered much from a melancholy spirit during his later years. He, however, gave up the idea of resigning, and on August 6, , he was ordained to the bishopric by Bishop Hersleb.

In this office he labored with unflinching zeal until his death. When King Fredrik V, in , visited Ribe, he was received in the cathedral by the clergy of the town and all the provosts of the district. The school sang a cantata for which Brorson had composed the text. In connection with the festival of commemorating the establishment of the monarchy , Brorson was created doctor of theology, October But his end was near. Bishop Brorson had many times been made the target for serious attacks and charges. It is indeed true that Brorson suffered many times from serious illness and often from attacks of hypochondria; but, nevertheless, he did not permit these to weaken his zeal for duty, and he never neglected his official work as long as he was able to care for it.

When he was well pleased with the conditions in a congregation he would often sing the stanza of the old hymn: In social life his principal enjoyment was taking part in music and song, surrounded by his family and a circle of friends. The first three are without date; No. All these together with several new hymns added appeared in under the title Troens rare Klenodie.

The fourth edition, , contains hymns, of which 82 were original and were translations. Brorson was a master of the Danish language and possessed a rich poetic talent. His hymns are permeated with deeply religious sincerity, combined with poetic loftiness and direct simplicity. On this account Brorson has been given a place among the most excellent hymn writers. It almost resembles heavenly music; it is the soul, living and breathing in God and the Savior, which, here in earthly tones, gives expression to its highest joys and its deepest anguish; even though we can not entirely absolve him of the pietistic tendency to employ the symbols of a strained imagination, whereby heavenly relations are often made to appear entirely too human.

It is also true that at times Brorson is guilty of a somewhat tiresome and complicated sentence building. He does not soar into high-sounding tones; does not employ bombastic words, but his song moves on through simple, direct expressions, filled with deep, serious contents; the spirit of his hymns proceeds from his innermost soul, and therefore also finds a ready entrance into the heart; but in view of this popular element, we must all the more admire the poetic wealth and beauty which characterize these incomparable hymns of Brorson.

Neither can we entirely absolve him of the common tendencies among the Pietists to make an immoderate use of phrases found in the Song of Solomon to indicate union with the Savior, whereby sensual images and carnal expressions are employed which do not serve to edify but rather to confuse the mind.

These have been prepared with such great painstaking and ability that they not only equal the originals, but in many cases even surpass them.

He studied at the Ribe Latin School and then at the University of Copenhagen, where he took up theology, philology, history, and philosophy.

His first instruction in writing and arithmetic was received from his father. His mother taught him to read diligently the Holy Scriptures, so that, when he was eleven years of age, he had read the whole Bible two times. This contributed in great measure to place him upon firm, Scriptural ground and prepared him to become a strong champion of the Christian faith over against the rationalism of his age.

He took an active part in outdoor sports, especially skiing and skating. At first he was tutored by his half-brother. Later he attended the Latin school in Trondhjem and the university. Here he decided to take the theological examination. He was given three months in which to prepare for this. The examination resulted in the lowest possible mark non contemnendus. His examination in homiletics, however, resulted somewhat better. Brun returned to Norway and spent three years in Trondhjem as an instructor, preacher, and poet. He applied for two positions, but was not appointed. In he accompanied Bishop Gunnerius to Copenhagen as his private secretary.

His activity as secretary, however, did not materialize. But during his stay in the capital city he wrote the drama Zarine, which created a sensation and brought him good returns. The next year he became assistant pastor at Bynesset. He was ordained in Trondhjem. In the fall of the same year he married Ingeborg Lind, with whom he had been engaged twelve years. His new position brought him a very meager income, but he tried to adjust himself to the conditions. He was assisted materially by a group of faithful friends in Trondhjem. Moreover, the members of his congregation held him in great love and esteem.

Brun, however, desired above all to work in the city. But he applied in vain for the rectorship of the church of Our Lady. In he was appointed to a similar position in Bergen. He was installed there on the seventh Sunday after Trinity and held this position until January 6, , when he was made bishop of the diocese of Bergen. But as far back as he had been called as provost of the district of Bergen, Nordhordland, and Voss and had served from as constituted bishop.

While serving as a minister, Brun gained great fame not only as a poet, but especially as an eloquent preacher. Further, in the office of bishop he deserves undying praise for his very able opposition in word and deed to the onslaughts of the rationalists. He was found in the front ranks, meeting every attack upon the old established Christian faith, and before he died he saw the dawn of a better era. Brun died July 26, In the history of hymnology Brun is especially noted for his Evangelical Hymns , published in Bergen, Our divine worship is that garden from which I have gathered my flowers.

But I have gathered during the autumn season.

Works for organ. Vol. 13

Only in places, where it seemed to me that he had not gathered all, there I have made an attempt. And, for the purpose of marking these, I have, in connection with all my hymns, given the corresponding number in the hymnary. If the regular hymns should be preferred to mine, it shall not offend me, as long as mine are also found useful for edification.

I fully admit that the Church of God might well dispense with my little book. But let it be said that among many such superfluous works my book will be found free from poison, and that in composing this work I have enjoyed many pleasant hours.
