Lyrics[edit]

I: Gott segne Sachsenland, wo fest die Treue stand in Sturm und Nacht! Ew’ge Gerechtigkeit, hoch überm Meer der Zeit, die jedem Sturm gebeut, schütz uns mit Macht!
II: Blühe, du Rautenkranz in schöner Tage Glanz freudig empor! Heil, Friedrich August, Dir, heil, guter König, Dir. Dir, Vater, preisen wir liebend im Chor!	Variant 1 Blühe, du Rautenkranz in schöner Tage Glanz freudig empor! Heil, frommer Vater, Dir, heil, guter Mutter, Dir. Euch, teure segnen wir liebend im Chor!	Variant 2 Blühe, du Rautenkranz in schöner Tage Glanz freudig empor! Heil, Landesvater, Dir, Heil Landesmutter, Dir, Euch beide segnen wir liebend im Chor!
III: Was treue Herzen flehn, steigt zu des Himmels Höh’n aus Nacht zum Licht. Der uns’re Liebe sah, der uns’re Tränen sah, er ist uns hilfreich nah, verlässt uns nicht.
IV: Same as the first stanza.
