Шаблон:Lang ('The Swedish hymnal – approved and confirmed by the king in 1819'), also called the 1819 Hymnal and the Wallin Hymnal, was used in Sweden from 1819 to 1937 (with Шаблон:Ill) and contained 500 hymns.[1]
The hymnbook was "approved and confirmed by the king" on 29 January 1819,[2] but was not introduced for exclusive use throughout the country by one collective decision. Rather, it was successively adopted by each parish in the Church of Sweden by a separate decision at parish board meetings. From 1921 it was used together with a supplement, Шаблон:Ill, which included hymns by revivalistsLina Sandell and Carl Olof Rosenius.[1][3]
The hymnal was in that sense the work of one man, as over half of the hymns were written or adapted by archbishop Johan Olof Wallin (1779–1839),[4] but other poets such as Frans Michael Franzén (1772–1847) and Erik Gustaf Geijer (1783–1847) were also involved.[5] Other participants with numerous hymns include vicar Шаблон:Ill (1767–1844) and professor Шаблон:Ill (1750–1829). Three hymns (0.6%) were written by women.
Other collections of hymns and songs during this period included selections from the 1819 hymnal, sometimes with only certain verses included, such as in the Swedish Evangelical Mission's Шаблон:Ill (1889) and the Шаблон:Ill (Stockholm Sunday School Association's hymnal; 1882).
