Hanna Andersson (1858-1938) was a Swedish member of The Salvation Army and song- and psalm writer.[1] She is known for writing psalms for The Salvation Army.
She was born in the countryside, and moved to Stockholm in 1881. The Salvation Army was quite new when she became a member, and she was one of its first members in Sweden when she joined in 1883. She was the first woman in Sweden to be made an officer in The Salvation Army.
She was active in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Visby, Malmö (1887), Karlstad (1887), and Eskilstuna (1891) between 1883 and her retirement in 1908. She was described as a powerful and energetic woman with a strong, deep voice, who accompanied her songs by violin.
