[lyrics by hubertus]
seger giv du segerrike. konung till din kamp
oss vig. ingen man ma provet svike nar du
for ditt rikes krig.
bring victory, you victorious. consecrate us
unto your fight, you sovereign. none may fail
the test when you fight the war of your empire.
hys och led var trangda skara. hor, till dig i
bon vi fly. lat oss snart ur natt och fara se
din frihetsmorgon gry.
cherish and lead our pressed crowd. hear,
unto you in prayer we flee. let us soon from
night and danger see your dawn of freedom arise.
bryt o herre, brack och krossa hela
morkrets vald och makt. dodens bojor du
kan lossa. du som liv til seger bragt.
break o lord, surpass and rout the power
and dominion of darkness. the bonds of
death you can detach. you who has brought
life to victory.
ack var kraft ar ganska ringa. giv oss herre
dag fran dag mod att ej med varlden tinga.
giv ett bergfast sinnelag.
alas, our force is rather small. give us lord,
day by day courage not to engage the world.
bring a disposition solid as the rock. |
