Peer Ørling Strømme is a Norwegian translator and hymnologist born in 1954 who has contributed to the preservation and translation of Christian hymnic texts within the Scandinavian Lutheran tradition. Working primarily within Norwegian ecclesiastical circles, Strømme has been involved in hymn translation and adaptation projects that facilitate the accessibility of classical and contemporary hymns for modern Norwegian congregations. His work reflects the continued importance of vernacular hymnody in Lutheran Nordic church practice during the late twentieth century. Strømme's translations have helped maintain the connection between traditional hymnic heritage and contemporary worship in Norwegian Protestant churches.
