"Gud, som haver barnen kÃÆ'är..." (Swedish: "God, who holds dear children") is an old prayer for children, unknown origin. This prayer was first printed in 1780 at "Barnabok, hans Kongl. HÃÆ'öghet kronprinsen i underdÃÆ' à ¥ nighet tilÃÆ'ägnad af Samfundet Pro fide et Christianismo" ("Children's book, with low heart dedicated to His Majesty the Crown Prince by the Society of Pro fide et Christianismo "), published on the occasion of the second anniversary of the crown prince of Sweden (later Gustav IV Adolf). In this book, the prayer is called "En allmÃÆ'än bÃÆ'ön fÃÆ'ör smÃÆ' à ¥ barn" ("Common prayer for small children") and read as follows:
- " Gud som haver barnen kÃÆ'är
- Se to mig som liten ÃÆ'är
- Vart jag mig i vÃÆ'ärlden vÃÆ'änder
- StÃÆ' à ¥ r min lycka i Guds hÃÆ'änder
- Lyckan kommer lyckan gÃÆ' à ¥ r
- Den Gud ÃÆ'älskar lyckan fÃÆ' à ¥ r
- Amen.
- wÃÆ'änder,
- "
- "God! who loves dear children,
- Wait for me, little one
- Wherever in the world I wander
- My happiness is in god's hands
- Happiness comes happily gone
- He who loves god gets happiness "
This may be based on verbal orally transmitted prayer. It was first printed as a hymn in the Salvation Army songbook in 1907. The book was later published in the Swedish Sunday School (1908) in which three additional verses were composed by Johan Bernhard Gauffin and Carl Boberg and finally in "His normal songbook psalmer 1921, a Swedish hymnal annex in 1819 in which Siri Dahlquist extended the prayer with five additional verses, the first being "Gode Fader, i din vÃÆ' à ¥ rd" ("Good dad, in your attention").
The melody, according to Koralbok fÃÆ'ör His psalmer, 1921 was probably composed in 1531, but in subsequent editions the melody was associated with Ivar Widà © en in 1912. His prayers were also sometimes sung with the same melody as "Twinkle, twinkle, little Star". The first printed version of the prayer was sung to melody "HÃÆ'ärlig ÃÆ'är Guds himmel blÃÆ' à ¥".
