The song appeared in a hymnal for the first time in 1921, in the "Nya psalmer" addition. The song was originally very popular, especially within "Ungkyrkorörelsen", and was added to 1937 års psalmbok. During the early 1970s left-political movement, the lyrics were considered too nationalist, and discussions begun. The song was not appointed for Den svenska psalmboken 1986, since editing the lyrics was not allowed by the copyright holders.
However, a version with changed lyrics, are in Svensk psalmbok för den evangelisk-lutherska kyrkan i Finland 1986, as number 168.
