Huginn and Muninn are two ravens in Norse mythology who are helping spirits of the god Odin. "Two ravens sit on his (Odin's) shoulders and whisper all the news which they see and hear into his ear; they are called Huginn and Muninn. He sends them out in the morning to fly around the whole world, and by breakfast they are back again. Thus, he finds out many new things and this is why he is called 'raven-god'.
The hymn the chorus sings at Vidar's funeral "Mighty God, to thy dear Name be given, Highest praise o'er all the earth and heaven.
All souls distressed,
All men oppressed,
Their voices raising,
Unite in praising Thy glory.
2 God is God, though all the earth lay wasted;
God is God, though all men death had tasted"
