Our Fatherland, thy name so dear
Our souls repeat while strangers here;
And oh, how oft we sigh for thee,
Dear Fatherland, beyond the sea!
Our Fatherland, dear Fatherland,
We long to press thy golden strand,
And hail the bright and shining land,
In thy sweet vales, dear Fatherland!
Above the stars above the skies,
Thy towering hills in beauty rise;
Where sunny field with verdure glow,
And fadeless flowers in beauty grow.
Our Fatherland, dear Fatherland,
We long to press thy golden strand,
And hail the bright and shining land,
In thy sweet vales, dear Fatherland!
There Jesus reigns, our Saviour King,
And one by one His own will bring
Thy songs to join, thy bliss to share,
O Fatherland, O Zion fair!
Our Fatherland, dear Fatherland,
We long to press thy golden strand,
And hail the bright and shining land,
In thy sweet vales, dear Fatherland!
No tears shall dim, no pain destroy
the light of peace, the smile of joy;
No more we’ll clasp the parting hand
Within thy gates, our Fatherland.
Our Fatherland, dear Fatherland,
We long to press thy golden strand,
And hail the bright and shining land,
In thy sweet vales, dear Fatherland!
