1871, Magnus Brostrup Landstad, Kirkesalmebog: efter offentlig foranstaltning, page 320:

1909, Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i America:

I can find in my heart / That my soul finds consolation / Capable of soothing all my pain, / When only I reminisce about your grave / And consider where you lay / In the dark corner/hidden place of death, / And got up with power and honour, / What can be of greater joy?

Han […] kom til Vaade, / Af Himlen ned, o under overmaade, / Vort Kiød og Blod, ja Dødsens Vee oc Plage / Paa sig at tage.

1847, Carl Joakim Brandt, Den Danske psalmedigtning: deel. Efter Kingo, page 25:

He […] came into misfortune, / Down from Heaven/the sky, oh excessive wonder, / To take upon himself / Our flesh and blood, indeed, the woe and agony of death.

Dernæst slo jeg Konning Hjærne ihjel / For Danske de ville ei have den Træl; / Norges Konning han hed Asmund / Hannem gav jeg sin Dødsens Vund; / Sien blev jeg død af Alders Meen / Jeg la'es paa Marken under en Sten.

1841, [Anonymus AC10250681], Den gammel-danske Rimkrönike fra Sorö-Kloster. 10. Udgave, besörget ved C. S. Ley, page 45:

Thereafter, I killed king Hjærne ["brain"] / For Danes did not want that thrall; / The king of Norway was called Asmund / Him, I gave his wound of death; / I subsequently died from the injury of old age / I was placed in the field under a rock.
