%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely % distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual % songs, and prelude/postlude music. This music is to be distributed % as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, % in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which % can be freely modified by anyone. The current format of choice is the % "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet. % All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats. % Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate % translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" % version 4.10 or later. I am doing my best to create a final product % that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for % a printed church hymnal. % % The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (editor % at openhymnal dot org). I have gone through serious efforts % to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database. % If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible. % % This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to % the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of % the various ABC and ABC Plus software. Undoubtedly, I am also indebted % to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns. % % This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever. % % I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and % I will take requests for hymns to add. My decision of whether to % add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order): % 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable % 2) It must be a Christian piece % 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly, % a MIDI file is usually a terrible source) % 4) Whether I like the hymn :) % % If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please % send an email to me, I would love the help! PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU % FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small. I want to ensure that every % slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure % that there must be mistakes right now. % % Open Hymnal Project, 2026 Edition % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % PAGE LAYOUT % %%pagewidth 21.6000cm %%pageheight 27.9000cm %%scale 0.70000 %%staffsep 0.20000cm %%lineskipfac 1.0 %%exprabove false %%measurebox false %OHSCRIP 1Pt 5:8, Jas 1:12, Jn 8:12, Jn 10:27-29, Ps 91:11-12 %OHTOPICS {Angels [4]}, {Brevity of Life}, {Calmness [4,5]}, {Christian Life}, {Courage in Affliction}, {Cross [2]}, {Guidance [5]}, {Heaven [6]}, {Jesus [5]}, {Obedience [1]}, {Patience [2]}, {Presence} %OHCATEGORY LENT %OHMETRICAL 8 7 8 7 6 6 8 8 %OHCOMPLEXITY 2 %OHCOMPOSER from Freylinghausen's Geistreiches Gesangbuch, Halle, 1704 %OHARRANGER unknown %OHAUTHOR Brorson, Hans Adolf (1694-1764) %OHTRANSLATOR Ristad, Ditlef Georgson, 1863-1938 %%postscript /st { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto 4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%postscript /nd { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto -4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%deco sintro 6 st 6 0 0 %%deco eintro 6 nd 6 0 0 %%setfont-1 Symbol 13 %%setfont-2 Times-Roman 13 X: 1 T: I Walk In Danger All The Way C: Words: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1734.
