In this talk at Åbent Hus, Mikael Byrial Jensen introduces Svein Ellingsen, the hymn writer whose baptism hymn "Fyldt af glæde over livets under" has become a modern classic.
The talk looks at his eventful life and at hymns that offer comfort to people in pain while encouraging us to look after one another. Ellingsen writes in a modern, assured language that takes life as it is and brings hope and consolation into it, drawing on the Christian faith that gave him courage after great personal sorrow.
