This collection of Swedish hymns offers a glimpse into religious poetry from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The language is formal and rhythmic, reflecting the devotional nature of the texts. You will encounter archaic spelling and poetic structures, which can be challenging for modern learners. The vocabulary focuses on spiritual themes, faith, and moral guidance. The sentences are often structured as short, lyrical phrases, making them manageable to read while providing insight into the historical Swedish literary tradition.

Questions about this book

What level of Swedish do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 2 h 47 min at a native pace, spread over 246 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
