    • before 1945, “Áfram Kristsmenn, krossmenn”, Rev. Friðrik Friðriksson (1868–1961) (lyrics):
      Gjörvöll Kristí kirkja
      kveður oss með sér,
      fjendur ótal eru,
      ei þó hræðast ber.
      All of Christ’s church
      calls us with itself,
      enemies are myriad,
      still we should not fear.
