I feel the need of something Swedish to get me through Advent. So here is a hymn. Its usually sung in stately and grand fashion in Sweden on Advent 1, which is rather more of a thing there than it is here.

The words are, if I remember my liturgical Swedish correctly,
Hosanna, blessed is he, blessed is David’s Son who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest, hosanna!
Same thing in Finnish here.
Blessed be youtube.
