Song of Peace (Finlandia) Songtext

von Will Martin

This is my song, O 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 clover-leaf and pine.
But other lands have sunlight too and clover,
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
Oh, hear my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for their land and for mine.

(Choir) This is my song, O God of all the nations,
(Will) This is my song, of all the nations,
(Choir) A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
(Will) A song of peace, for lands like mine.
(Choir) This is my home,
(All) 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.
