Take the time and sing along with this song. The old church was built in the 1920's where we sang this song as children in the 50's. The members of this church first were Fay McDonald in 1923, Anna Alexander in 1925 and Johnny Ragsdale in 1926 in downtown Roanoke, Texas. A new church building was built north of the Old Roanoke school house, north off Walnut street and 114 highways. The old church was moved to the top of the hill next to the new church. The reason is because the members believe to do so. The church was used for services and also a chapel. Later the church was moved again to the east by itself and used as a chapel and then as a church again. I mention these families names plus others when I play in Roanoke, Texas because of what they did. They did not give up having Roanoke as there town to live and prosper. If they would have stopped, Roanoke would not have survived. There Faith in God saved Roanoke along with others.
An original contemporary Christian song by (C) Vernon Stanbridge 2019. Inspired by the Book of Revelation depicting Jesus riding the Heavens on a white charger followed by His people.
The "Agnus Dei" was adapted to Low German by Nicolaus Decius (in 1531). Later, Landstad, the editor and writer of the Norwegian hymn book, translated it to Norwegian, which is what you hear Kristine Kringlebotn Goa singing in this video. Rune Hodne Hermundsplass plays the guitar and put the original up on YouTube at

With his kind permission I have then adapted it to a 3 verse version -or should I say, variation- that I have made on the theme.
As visual background I have chosen to show the Stations of the Cross as depicted in various versions. These are pictures to help Christians meditate on the way Jesus took from Pilate to his death on the Cross. However, the story does not end on the cross, but in Christ's resurrection, which also underlies the Agnus: Jesus can give us His mercy and peace because He is not dead but alive, so I have chosen to end on that note!
Landstad's Norwegian text is:
O Guds Lam uskyldig
På korset i helslaget
Inntil døden lydig
Hvor ille du var plaget
For vår skyld var du såret
Har verdens synder båret
Miskunn deg over oss O Jesus (1st and 2nd time)
.. Gi oss din fred O Herre Jesus (3rd time)
Nicolaus Decius original text, which is still used in churches in Germany today is:
Lamm Gottes, unschuldig
am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,[a]
allzeit erfunden geduldig,
wiewohl du warest verachtet,
all Sünd hast du getragen,
sonst müssten wir verzagen.
1–2 Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu.
3 Gib deinen Frieden, o Jesu.

Further up and further in! This 'short 'n sweet' song (Min Sang gjelder en konge) was written by - well, Jonny Slottheden, I suppose, but it is really built on Psalm 45. My translation is more true to the Psalm than to the text in Swedish (sung in Norwegian in this version). The point is to put it into something that can be used, not to teach people a Scandinavian language. If you happen to be asking why the water flows upwards, it's because the praise is rising back to its source.
The familiar gospel song Precious Lord Take My Hand sung in ENOPION's musical called THE CURE. In this scene the Carpenter family is introduced as you move into their home in Jeru-Salem.
