Peer Ström was a Swedish hymn translator and religious scholar born in 1909. He contributed significantly to Swedish Protestant hymnody through his translation work, helping to make religious texts accessible to Swedish-speaking congregations. Ström's translations were part of the broader 20th-century movement to modernize and contextualize hymnic materials for contemporary worship. His work reflected the Lutheran tradition dominant in Sweden during the mid-20th century. Though details of his later life remain obscure, his translation efforts left a lasting mark on Swedish ecclesiastical music and worship practices.
