The text line is from the psalm Hur härligt vittna skog och sjö written by Zacharias Topelius in 1879. Freely translated it says "In the splendours of the northern lights and robed in stars" As with many psalms the lyrics can be sung with several melodies, for example the well known melody to I denne ljuva sommertid by Nathan Söderblom in Sweden, and in Finland to a melody by Johann Balthasar König from 1738. The Swedish version as included in the "Swedish Sunday school song book for use in homes, school, and Sunday services for children" published in 1929, can be found here.
