The Southern Sami hymnbook has been on referral since last summer.

Now it was time to put an end to any changes.

Jovna Dunfjell led the official audition.

- The international hymnbook committee was here for two days, says Sofia Strinnholm, priest in the Great Church in Östersund.

One part was held at Galtije in Östersund, another in the church where more people could come and participate.

- It is above all to check that the notes work.

Sometimes notes have to be adapted so that it works with the language, she says.

All hymns

All the hymns therefore needed to be sung through, a collection of about 70 hymns, also for some extra spelling and language checks.

- Hopefully there are no mistakes when it goes to print, says Sofia Stronnholm.

Now Sofia hopes that after the summer there will be more people who use the Southern Sami hymn book in their services.

- Here in Östersund, we will make sure to use it.
