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 unsre Liebe sah,
der unsre Tränen sah,
er ist uns hilfreich nah,
verlässt uns nicht.

Same as the first stanza.
