1 Vi ønske vor Brudgom nu og Brud
Gud Faders evige Naade!
Han give dem Lykke Livet ud,
Og vende fra dem al Vaade!
Gud sende til eders Hus og Hjem
Sin hellige Engleskare,
At vogte eder og alle dem,
Som skulle med eder fare,
Og helst ifra Satans Snare.

2 Bliv ogsaa hos dem miskundelig,
Guds Søn, Herre Jesus milde,
Med din Velsignelse rund og rig,
Den evige Velstands Kilde!
Og naar det fattes paa Brød og Vin,
Skal du dine Raad fremføre,
Og skikke dem Sendegave din,
Som du i Kana mon gjøre,
Og deres Begjæring høre.

3 Den Hellige Aand i deres Bo
Han værdes hos eder være!
Han give Guds Fred og søde Ro,
Og selv derinde regjere:
At I med Tugt og med Kjærlighed
Maa længe lever tilsammen,
Og siden hos Gud i Evighed
Faa Glæde i Arv og Gammen,
Det Ønske vi alle! Amen.

Biship of Skara, Sweden. He was entrusted in creating the first book ever of Swedish hymns, known today as "Swedberg's Book of Hymns, printed in 1694. It was soon declared heretical by some, because it focused too much on good works and not enough on faith. The whole edition was revoked, however, not before some copies made their way to Swedish colonies overseas. A new edition was published containing about 500 hymns, 30 of which bore Swedberg's name as author or translator. Several of these are still in the modern Swedish Book of Hymns. Go to person page >
