"Halleluja" by Evie

If anyone here understands Swedish, I could use some help with Halleluja written by Nils Frykman, Fredrik Bloom, Evie, a Swedish adaptation of Hallelujah! His Blood Avails for Me! written by Jimmy Owens [1]. The original contains parts of various hymns, and I'm assuming the Swedish version does as well, especially the credits (Nils Frykman died in 1911 and Fredrik Bloom died in 1927), but I don't speak Swedish so I can't be much help there.

The translation of the relevant part of the commented credits at https://smdb.kb.se/catalog/id/001885182/7 goes Inserts of lyrics from "Han har öppnat pärleporten", "Vilken vän vi har i Jesus" and "O sällhet stor".

As for "Han har...": also relevant in terms of your https://secondhandsongs.com/topic/75994 ...)

Owens, Jimmy (c,a), Tornqvist, Evie (SA) refers to Evie having done the Swedish translation of "Hallelujah..." (only) and

Nils Frykman was the lyricist of "O sällhet stor".

"Vilken vän vi har i Jesus" is an adaptation of What a Friend We Have in Jesus, but there are various Swedish translations. As it's uncredited, it's likely the one used in the Swedish Church'es psaltery, which was penned by Erik Nyström in 1877 (see wikipedia)

Hope this helps.
