This Is My Song

THIS IS MY SONG This is my song, Oh God of all the nations, A song of peace for lands afar and mine. This is my home, the country where my heart is; Here are my hopes, my dreams, my sacred shrine. But other hearts in other lands are beating, With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine. My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean, And sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine. But other lands have sunlight too and clover, And skies are everywhere as blue as mine. Oh hear my song, oh God of all the nations, A song of peace for their land and for mine. May truth and freedom come to every nation; may peace abound where strife has raged so long; that each may seek to love and build together, a world united, righting every wrong; a world united in its love for freedom, proclaiming peace together in one song.

FINLANDIA O, Finland, se, din morgonljusning randas och natten skingras hotfullt mörk och lång. Hör lärkans röst med rymdens susning blandas, snart rymden fylles av jubelsång. Se, natten flyr och fritt du åter andas. Din morgon ljusnar, o fosterland. Stig högt, vårt land, som du ur natt dig höjde. Den dag dig väntar, fritt och öppet möt med samma kraft, med samma mod du röjde, när träldomsoket du sönderbröt. Förtrycket aldrig dig till jorden böjde. Ditt verk dig väntar, o fosterland.
