   • late 1600s (music); 1701, 1867, 1937 (text), “Suvivirsi [Den blomstertid nu kommer]”, unknown (lyrics), unknown (music), hymn:

     Jo joutui armas aika, ja suvi suloinen.
     Kauniisti joka paikkaa koristaa kukkanen.
     Nyt siunaustaan suopi taas lämpö auringon,
     se luonnon uudeks luopi, sen kutsuu elohon.

     The dear time has come, and the sweet summer
     Every place is beautifully, adorned with a flower.
     Now blesses us again the sun with its warmth,
     it makes nature anew and brings it back to life.

     (somewhat literal prose translation)
