I too played this hymn when I heard about all the kids killed in Norway by that mad man. I've enjoyed visiting Norway (years ago) and was raised in a church that began as part of the Norwegian Lutheran Church in America. We sang this tune....so I know it well. I pray for peace and healing for the families and friends of those who were killed and for all Norway. No country does so much good in the world on a per capita basis!
Remembering Norway on this most tragic day and all respects. ALL RESPECTS to Norwegians everywhere and to my fellow Americans of Norwegian Descent I know this hits home with you. Many respects and prayers for Norway!
It was song on the church service attended by H.M the King and his family on his 70 th birtday. Very moving, so many differend choirs... It's the national psalm of Norway.
@hertuginnen This clips is from the actual church service attended by the Norwegian King and his royal family in connection with his 70 th birtday, very moving
Even though I'm Australian and don't understand a word, this is still a beautiful stirring hymn. Language isn't necessary to appreciate a beautiful patriotic song.
I cannot beleave how some of you people act I am so proud of that fact that i have norsk blood in me and you people are acting like dumbass mother fuckers I hope you are shot down in flames!

Now you've done it! You just crossed the line! I don't think you're a swede, you're a mother fakking wannabe Viking, I will hunt you, I will find you, and I will deal with you!
Shithead? My God's name is Odin - not Oden! And please don't try to be something you are not. If you knew me you would shit your pants. Took me 5 minutes to get your IP adress. Say hello from me to my FRIENDS in my CLUB who visit you very soon!
for the record: I'm not a teenage internet nerd, I'm a criminal. I give you 1 hour to ask for forgivness, You see, not everybody on the net are pimpel-faced nerds. Get it? If you would like to have parents, then you talk to me...
Pah! Give us back the casket that contained the body of Olav the Holy, you know the one studded with Norwegian crown jewels, emeralds, gold and silver that you stole when you looted Nidaros in the 1540s>>>>
Well, they gave back his right arm. If you go to the Catholic Cathedral in Oslo you will see his arm in a glass and brass case near the altar. I saw it there when I was visiting Norway in 2003 and in 2007.
Wow. I was surprised to find this on youtube. We were 400 singers that day, in the Trinity Church in Oslo, celebrating the king's 70th birtday. The sound was amazing, though the quality of filming from a tv-set doensn't quite give it justice.

I'm Georgian.... and I live in Tbilisi... But I Love Norway as my own country... I think that it's the most great country in the world... :) It's amazing video and I can't watch it without great emotions
Incidently, I once saw a copy of the document that my great grandfather was required to sign upon entering the U.S. Basically, it was a general form issued to everyone from anywhere and they would simply fill in the blank. I remember reading the part of this form that stated that he was renouncing his allegiance to the King of Norway (handwritten on the line). I've often wondered how difficult it was for him to bring himself to sign this paper! :-)
This *is* a great video!! I also am a Norwegian American living in Minnesota. Many of us retain great pride in our heritage (This video certainly stirred that in me!) Those who came before us moved to the U.S. *not* due to governmental persecution, but rather due to desperate economic factors of the time. Perhaps this is why our hearts still tie us to Norway. Thanks for posting this video!
Well I love Norway, and the Norwegian people. I had a great time when my high school visited there. It's not odd that the songs are multi-national. Norway's first modern king HM King Haakon VII started life as a Prince of Denmark, married to Princess Maud of the UK a daughter of HM King Edward VII. Music is music, it's international.
Nynorsk er basert på Vestlandske dialekter og ikke Norrønt! Det påstås at de er nærmere det opprinnelige norske, men det er bare vås. Hva som er norsk er opptil oss å bestemme nå. Og flertallet i landet her gir blaffen i nynorsk.
