Work comment

Most likely, this song was composed during Höijer's time as organist at the Katarina kyrka [Katarina Church (Church of Catherine)] in Stockholm. Thus, it may be considered as Gebrauchsmusik ('utility music')


Libretto/text

Min Gud och Far! på väg så svår,
här fjerran från mitt hem jag går.
Ack, led mig Dig, som allt förmår,
Din vilje ske, Din vilje ske!
