Gott segne Sachsenland

Gott segne Sachsenland (lit: God bless Saxony) was the national anthem of the former Saxon Kingdom and now an unofficial anthem of Saxony which is tailored to the popular Saxon monarch, Friedrich Augustus I.[1]

Lyrics

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.
