J.P.E. Hartmann

Ak, som en Drøm er Manges Liv

HartW 232
DF 156:3

Author: H.A. Timm

Composition: 1852.

When A.P. Berggreen published his "Melodier til den af Roeskilde-Præsteconvent udgivne Psalmebog" in 1853, he kept some of the most loved old chorales; however, he also asked some of his organist colleagues, among others Hartmann, to write some more appropriate tunes. His contributions were: "Giv jeg, o Herre, følger dig" (HartW 234), "Til Himlene rækker din Miskundhed, Gud" (HartW 233), "Stor er du, Gud!" (HartW 235); and the present hymn.
