Sweden Royal Anthem (Instrumental Midi) Kungssången

Kungssången (The King's Song) is the Swedish royal anthem. It is also known by its first line, Ur svenska hjärtans djup en gång (Once from the depths of Swedish hearts). Although sung on such occasions as the King's birthday, the annual opening of the Riksdag and the Nobel Prize ceremony, the song is not considered the Swedish national anthem.Show more

The lyrics were written by Carl Vilhelm August Strandberg and the music composed by Otto Lindblad. Kungssången replaced the previous royal anthem, Bevare Gud vår kung, which was sung to the melody of the British royal anthem.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Once from the depths of Swedish hearts,
a joint and a simple song,
which reaches forth to the King!
Be faithful to Him and his House,
make light the Crown upon his Head,
and all your faith in Him invest,
thou, people of renown!
