Du gamla, du fria [a] ('Thou Olden, Thou Free'), from its first verse, originally titled Sång till Norden [b] ('Song to the North'), is the de facto national anthem of Sweden. Its music is based on a Swedish folk tune with lyrics written by Swedish antiquarian Richard Dybeck in 1844.
In Sweden, only the first verse is sometimes used, in which the hymn's Christian origins are not apparent. [3] In Finnish-speaking Finland, the hymn is usually sung in three verses in schools. [4] Zenos E. Hawkinson has written lyrics in English, as "Now Comes the Time for Flowers", from 1978. [5]
