Скачать или смотреть "Välsigna Gud som makten sänder" - Patriotic Fenno-Swedish Hymn/Psalm [Text] + [English Lyrics]

The melody is made by an Ukrainian by the name of Dimitrij Bortnjanskij. The hymn was originally made for official ceremonies and was largely a appraisal hymn for the Tsar. The Tsar and the General-Governer wouldn't have understood the Finnish words but they would've known the melody. Alfred Brynolf Roos originally wrote the lyrics in Finnish and Bengt Olof Lille has translated them into Swedish. As Finland became independent, a hymn praising the Tsar was no longer appropriate so the first verse has gone through a couple of revisions.

Alfred Brynolf Roosin sanoittama virsi 579 "Oi Herra, korkein valtiaamme" ruotsiksi B.O.Lillen kääntämänä.

Psalm 547 ursprungligen av Alfred Brynolf Roos på finska översatt till svenska av B.O.Lille.
