När det lider mot jul

"När det lider mot jul", also known as "Det strålar en stjärna", is a Swedish Christmas song with lyrics by Jeanna Oterdahl, and written for vocals and piano in 1909 (opus 19) by Ruben Liljefors.[1] A version for mixed choir, a cappella, was added in 1933[2] and originally published in 1944 by Gehrmans musikförlag.[3] The song’s later popularity is said to have been affected by publication in Gottfrid Berg’s Läroverkskören [4] 1950[2] and after being recorded on record, it was heard in TV in the early 1960s.[5]
