"'" (in Finnish: "'"; literal English translation: "Give Me No Splendor, Gold or Pomp"), also known simply as "" (in English: "Christmas Carol"), Op. 1/4, is an art song for vocal soloist and piano written in 1909 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, who set an 1887 Christmas carol by the Finnish poet Zacharias Topelius. Late in his career, Sibelius made several arrangements of "": for male choir a cappella in 1935; for voice and female choir a cappella in 1942; for two unaccompanied female voices in 1942; and for children's choir and organ in 1954.
Topelius's poem was originally published in 's magazine ("Christmas Eve"), and appears in the fourth volume of Topelius's ("Collected Works"). 
In Finnish, the song's opening lines are "" and the song was originally published in Finnish in 1909, probably with lyrics by Martti Korpilahti, and was adopted in the 1986 Finnish hymnal, with lyrics by Niilo Rauhala in 1984. However, the older Finnish language-version had already become popular, and is commonly sung. The song is one of the most popular Christmas carols in Finland.
