Carolina Sandell
1823 - 1903 Person Name: Carolina V. (Sandell) Berg, 1832-1903 Author of "Day by Day Thy Mercies, Lord, Attend Me" in The Junior Hymnal, Containing Sunday School and Luther League Liturgy and Hymns for the Sunday School Caroline W. Sandell Berg (b. Froderyd, Sweden, 1832; d. Stockholm, Sweden, 1903), is better known as Lina Sandell, the "Fanny Crosby of Sweden."
"Lina" Wilhelmina Sandell Berg was the daughter of a Lutheran pastor to whom she was very close; she wrote hymns partly to cope with the fact that she witnessed his tragic death by drowning. Many of her 650 hymns were used in the revival services of Carl O. Rosenius, and a number of them gained popularity particularly because of the musical settings written by gospel singer Oskar Ahnfelt. Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish soprano, underwrote the cost of publishing a collection of Ahnfelt's music, Andeliga Sänger (1850), which consisted mainly of Berg's hymn texts.

Oscar Ahnfelt
1813 - 1882 Person Name: Oskar Ahnfelt, 1813-1882 Composer of "[Day by day Thy mercies, Lord, attend me]" in The Junior Hymnal, Containing Sunday School and Luther League Liturgy and Hymns for the Sunday School Oscar Ahnfelt (1813 -1882) was a Swedish singer and composer. He wrote the music for many of Lina Sandell’s hymns. A pietist, he raised some concern in the State-church, but his music was apparently so popular, King Karl XV gave him permission to play and sing in both of his kingdoms. Ahnfelt’s music has spread throughout the world; two of his best-known songs are “Children of the Heavenly Father” and “Day by Day.”
