Sofia Karlsson - Frid på jord (TV4, Jan. 2010)

The best version of this song, in my opinion. Old lyrics by Olivia Blyberg with additions by Sofia Karlsson, to a melody by Sofia Karlsson. Live at TV4 Nyhetsmorgon, January 2, 2010. With Gustaf Ljunggren, lap steel, and Sofie Livebrant, piano and vocals. The song is released on the album "Jul i Folkton" (various artists, 2005), and on "Folkjul" (various artists, 2007), and even on the bonus CD to the compilation "Det allra bästa 1999-2009", but the arrangements on the CD's are quite different from this one.

Lyrics translated by Gunnar Idenstam in the booklet of the CD "Folkjul" (Swedish lyrics below): Peace on Earth In starry night how clear the words Peace on earth, peace on earth They rang out, oh how wonderful Peace on earth, peace on earth The Saviour came with hope and peace But in my soul was night and strife Nor did I find in all my life Peace on earth, peace on earth May the weary find refuge Peace in God, peace in God As sweet as in a mother's arms Praise to God, praise to God O light and peace of Christmas-time Guide me through the darkest hours And bring me home to heaven's calm Peace on earth, peace on earth . ----------------- Frid på jord (Tekst av Olivia Blyberg og Sofia Karlsson) I stjärnfull natt det ljöd så klart Frid på jord, frid på jord Det klingade väl underbart Frid på jord, frid på jord Försonaren kom med hopp och frid Men i min själ var natt och strid Ej fann jag under min levnadstid Frid på jord, frid på jord Må den trötte finna en hamn Ro hos Gud, ro hos Gud Så ljuvlig som en moders famn Lov ske Gud, lov ske Gud Du julens klara ljus och frid Mig lys igenom mörkrets tid Och för mig hem till min himmels ro Frid på jord, frid på jord
