Det är advent or Ett litet barn av Davids hus, is a Swedish Advent song with lyrics written by Britt G. Hallqvist in 1966 and music by Olle Widestrand. Music is often mentioned to have been published in 1981, but sources say the tune is older, and was in use already in the 1970s, as the song is published in Swedish 1977 children’s songbook Smått å Gott.
