by Jacob Axel Josephson (1818 - 1880)

Sjung, du underbara sång
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Sjung, du underbara sång,
Sprid dina dallrande vågor!
Klinga kring nejden än en gång,
Klinga vid stjärnornas lågor!
Lugna den storm i hjärtat brusar,
Se'n väck den upp på nytt en gång.
Hur du mig rör, hur du mig tjusar,
sjung, du underbara sång!

Sjung, sjung, du underbara sång,
Möt mig med tonerna skära,
Dagen är dyster, vägen lång,
Tankarna tunga att bära.
Låt mig få ljust och vackert drömma,
Så som jag drömde förr en gång,
Stridernas bittra smärta glömma,
Sjung, du underbara sång!
