De Levendes Land (Land of the Living) is a hymn written in 1824 by the Danish theologian and priest N. F. S. Grundtvig. It is composed in a metre similar to a famous hymn Far Verden far vel (Farewell world farewell) by Thomas Kingo but unlike its baroque model Grundtvig’s work carries a more optimistic message expressing faith in the love and grace of God.
