I just posted a song ("Jen la hela, bela stelo de l' mateno")in my online hymnal to a tune that my source, Adoru, describes as a Swedish folk melody, and I am hopeful that someone can supply the Swedish folk text to it, or at least the first line, so I can give it a properly authentic hymnological name (for the moment I'm calling it "Hela bela", from part of the Esperanto first line). Here's a MidiText version:

"Jen la hela, bela stelo de l' mateno" means "Behold the light and lovely star of the morning"; my guess is the Swedish probably utilizes internal rhymes like those in the Esperanto, even though it may be an unrelated text in all other respects.

An English text for the tune would also be most welcome.
