Erik August Skogsbergh, often called the "Swedish Moody," was a highly influential hymnwriter, preacher, and leader within the Swedish Evangelical Covenant Church in America during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Based largely in Minneapolis, Minnesota, his publications and chronicles played a vital role in unifying and supporting the growing population of Swedish immigrants across the Midwest, providing them with familiar spiritual guidance and cultural connection in their native language.
