Some Famous People called Gustav Jensen

Gustav Jensen

Gustav Margerth Jensen (July 13, 1845 – November 2, 1922) was a Norwegian priest, hymnologist, hymnwriter, seminary instructor, and liturgist. He is best known for his liturgy revision and hymnal publication.

Gustav Jensen was born in Drammen, but he first started attending school in Arendal. He received his theology degree (cand.theol.) in 1868 and started teaching in Skoger. In 1874 he was appointed a curate at Old Aker Church. One year later he was engaged as a head instructor at the Practical Theological Seminary, where he taught liturgical studies, sermon instruction, and pastoral theology. In 1889 he became the priest at Trinity Church in Oslo, and then in 1895 he returned to his position as head instructor at the Practical Theological Seminary. In 1902 he was appointed diocesan provost at Our Savior's Church in Kristiania (currently the Oslo Cathedral).

Jensen stopped serving as diocesan provost in 1911 in order to use all of his time to work on revising Landstads kirkesalmebog (Landstad's Church Hymnal), for which he had been commissioned by a royal resolution in 1908. In 1915 he delivered his Forslag til en revideret Salmebok for den norske kirke (Proposals for a Revised Hymnal for the Church of Norway), a draft version that generated much controversy. Jensen died in 1922, before the hymnal was approved and issued. The hymnal was finally approved in 1924 and was known as Landstads reviderte salmebok (Landstad's Revised Hymnal).
