    I am a Finn and this English-language version comes as a bit of a shock because I never knew such a version existed (I apologize for my ignorance in this context). However, to us in Finland this hymn is known as "Finlandia" and always will be. Finlandia is our national treasure in Finnish lyrics, depicting what Finland is and what we the Finns are. ♥️

    Jean Sibelius composed this hymn-part of Finlandia 1899 to make Finnish nation stronger to fight against the tyrranny of Russia. I wrote my student diplom 1985 of it. The indepency of Finland was finally got second time 1944 in 2nd world war. My granddad had to give his life in the war against Russia. ❤ The original indepency was released 6.12.1917 and V.I. Lenin confirmed it 31.12.1917.
    I also have performed Finlandia hymn in many choirs (alto) and I can assure everyone it is wonderful everytime.

    I'm a finnish musician and have played Sibelius masterpeace Finlandia maybe 100 times in different versions, also with choir. Never heard before the version in englisch. Anyway the hymn is a part of Finlandia. It is composed at a time when Finland was a part of Sovjet. In the premiere at the university of Helsinki the titel in the program was something else, because of the pressure from the authority. Anyway the original lyrics are a statement of freedom and independent.

      The hymn “Be Still My Soul” played to the music of Finlandia is quite popular here in the USA. Have been singing this in church for over 70 years & it was one of the first tunes I learned to play on my clarinet. In Philadelphia PA where I live, Finlandia is especially stunning when played on the Wanamaker Organ. So your national anthem is beloved & honored far beyond the borders of Finland.

    So perhaps I can clarify that while the music and Finnish lyrics were written by Jean Sibelius and talk of Finland's national pride, the Christian hymn comes from a poem written in 1697 that was later put with Sibelius's music. It is not a translation from the original Finnish song. It is a poem that is a person in deep turmoil, pain, and fear calling out to God to steady their faith and calm their soul. Being American but with a Finnish mother, I love and am deeply touched by both! This service was held after the horrific Grenfell apartment fire in London that claimed 72 lives and injured 70 in 2017. The impact on the hearts and psyche of Londoners and the world was greatly affected. Sibelius' music and Katharina Amalia Dorthea von Schlegel's poem were expressing what everyone was feeling at that moment.

    Jean Sibelius's tone poem Finlandia was completed as an orchestral work already in 1899. At first, the work was not intended to be sung. The words of the currently performed Finlandia anthem were written by V.A. Koskenniemi in 1940, but the anthem was written and performed before Koskenniemi. Tenor Wäinö Sola, who had given concerts in America, brought the words to Sibelius' hymn when he came to Finland in 1937. The first words of the Finlandia anthem were written in America as early as 1919, and American Finns sang Finlandia in their choral performances on the new continent.

    Finlandia is like our second national anthem, loved more than Maamme (the national anthem), so hearing it sung with totally different lyrics gives me mixed feelings. It feels good that people abroad know this Sibelius's work, but at the same time it feels like it was stolen. It is not a religious song originally.

    It is absolutely bizarre to see this piece sung as a casual hymn about higher things.
    When Jean Sibelius wrote this, it was an act of protest against the Russian rule in Finland. It is a piece of national romanticism that lifted the spirits of our nation. The original full composition is called Finlandia, but because of the Russian government he had to cal it "Fantasia". (Funnily enough Disney did use this in 'Fantasia')

      Music has no boundaries. It's art and goes beyond geographical borders and political thinkings. Finlandia was just a song about Finland's struggle and only Finns would have related to it but when nearly 100 years ago the tune was adopted for such a powerful hymn, it became a global song. If you pay attention to the lyrics, they are so beautiful comforting people in despair and pain. A person telling his/her soul to be still against all odds and strifes as God shall walk them out of it. It's a very-very powerful hymn for a believer. It can bring you to your knees with tears and it can also uplift you with hope while it may have no meaning at all if you don't believe in God and Christ. However, we see it, it's not reducing its patriotic Finnish value but adding a spiritual meaning to it for the world to sing and love it. 😊
