Oscar Ahnfelt (1813–1882) was a Swedish singer, composer and music publisher.''Twice-Born Hymns'' by J. Irving Erickson, (Chicago: Covenant Press, 1976) page 87. Biography Ahnfelt composed the music for many of Lina Sandell's hymns. He was a pietist, who traveled all over Scandinavia, playing his 10-string guitar and singing her lyrics. The state church authorities did not like pietistic hymns and, anticipating a royal injunction against the singing of Sandell's songs, ordered Ahnfelt to sing them before King Karl XV. But after hearing them, the King announced to Ahnfelt, "You may sing as much as you desire in both of my kingdoms." Ahnfelt sang them so much that Sandell wrote, "Ahnfelt has sung my songs into the hearts of the people."''The Story of Our Hymns'' by Ernest Edwin Ryden (Rock Island, IL: Augustana Book Concern, 1930) pp. 176–180. Sandell–Ahnfelt hymns have spread throughout the world. Two of the best-known ones in English are ''Children of the Heavenly Fat ...

The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
