Nu tändas tusen juleljus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nu tändas tusen juleljus, often called just Nu tändas, is a Christian traditional Swedish language Christmas song, written in 1898 by the Swedish song text writer Emmy Köhler (both text and melody). The song is about lights at Christmas, from candles and stars. It was one of the most popular Christmas songs in Sweden during the 20th century, in churches, homes and schools. Swedish pop singer Agnetha Fältskog recorded the song on her album "Nu tändas tusen juleljus", named after the song, with her daughter Linda Ulvaeus.

The Norwegian language version is Nå tennes tusen julelys and has been recorded by artists as Elisabeth Andreassen.
