From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lissner was a teacher at Løgumkloster Højskole from 1971 to 1979 and a pastor in Sønder Bjert from 1980 to 2003, before retiring in 2003.
He worked a lot with hymns, both as a hymn writer, and as editor of collections of new hymns and choral works. He also wrote the liturgies for church services, including "Spillemandsmessen", a service with music for Danish folk musicians.
In Denmark, Lissner is known for writing a Christian version of the Lucia song in 1982.[3]
In Norway, he is known for the advent hymn "Nå tenner vi vår adventskrans", which is in the 1985 edition of The Norsk Salmebok.
