If anyone can help with an old Swedish tr anslation, we would be grateful. I was told I had to post this in forums since I don't know the "artist". It is a very old song from 1890.

Sang om Jesus
1. Jesus ar vart trygga faste, I all nod var van den baste, Ja en tillflykt uti noden, Ljus i morker, lif i doden.
2. Ofver dem, som aro arma, Vill han gerna sig forbarma Och sla deras synder neder. Se det ar och Blir hans heder.
3. Alla synder han forlater, Trostar barnet, nar det grater, Bar oss uppa herdearmar Och i noden sig forbarmar.
4. Oct nar otrons stormar hvina, Later han dock solen skina, Och nar berg och hogar vika, Skall hans trohet dock ej svika.
5. Himlastadens turturdufva Men sin rost, den friska, ljufva, Hores an i vara dalar Och om Jesus for oss talar.
6. Och vi aro med i raden, Som gar hem till nya staden. Snart vi slutat pilgrimsfarden Genom denna tranga verlden.
7. Med en ny och helig visa Skola vi da lammet prisa, Ljufligt skall var lofsang klinga, Nar vi Gud hans ara bringa.
8. Der skall endast friden rada, Der vi evigt Jesus skada. O hur saligt det skall blifva! Det kan ingen har beskrifva.
9. Jesus, Jesus, oss bevara Ifran synd och dod och fara, Sa att vi en gang fa skina Sasom solen bland de dina.

Thank you! Heather

PS It is the same tune as "Children of the Heavenly Father" but with different words (Tryggare kan ingen vara a Swedish Folk tune)

Hello! When the artist is unknown, we have opened some artist pages where we can place lyrics for which we don't know the artist. This is the link to the Swedish page: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/unknown-artist-swedish-lyrics.html
But taking a look at the lyrics, I think it rather belongs to this artist page: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/worship-songs-lyrics.html
or this other, if you prefer: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/swedish-worship-songs-lyrics.html
Please, post the lyrics there and open a translation request.

Besides, where did you find these lyrics? I'm no 19th century Swedish expert, but this text has no diacritics at all, I have the feeling there are quite a few mistakes in there. If you have a video with this song, I'd suggest you to open a transcription request and maybe post the lyrics you have in the comments section, asking for a native/fluent speaker to check if they're correct.

I am new to this site. I first posted a link with the proper Swedish spelling, but it was taken down, and I was told since I didn't type it out, I was told to put in the forums, since I didn't have an artist. So that is how I landed here. It was in Swedish Worship Songs - that is where it was removed. https://books.google.com/books?id=D4pzvughPEYC&pg=PA345&lpg=PA345&dq=san...

Here is the link to the actual Swedish words with correct accents.

I don't know about others (maybe I'm being thick, totally likely), but I can't open the page. Would possibly be able to take a screenshot of the page and publish it on some platform like mediafire or dropbox, so we can see it and transcribe it?
