about

Heyr Himna Smiður– Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson
Once again branching out into other music traditions, Heyr Himna Smiður is an ancient prayer written by an Icelandic chieftain around 1200 AD. It was set to music by Sigurbjörnsson some 700 later.

lyrics

Heyr, himna smiður,
hvers skáldið biður.
Komi mjúk til mín
miskunnin þín.
Því heit eg á þig,
þú hefur skaptan mig.
Eg er þrællinn þinn,
þú ert drottinn minn.

Guð, heit eg á þig,
að þú græðir mig.
Minnst þú, mildingur, mín,
mest þurfum þín.
Ryð þú, röðla gramur,
ríklyndur og framur,
hölds hverri sorg
úr hjartaborg.
