original German translation

In plenty and in time of need
When this fair land was young
Our brave forefathers sowed the seed
From which our pride has sprung
A pride that makes no wanton boast
Of what it has withstood
That binds our hearts from coast to coast
The pride of nationhood

In abundance and in times of need
When this beautiful land was young,
our forefathers sowed the seeds
from which our pride sprang
A pride that lets no songwriter pretend About
whom it has withstood
That binds our hearts from coast to coast
The pride of national identity

We loyal sons and daughters all
Do hereby make it known
These fields and hills beyond recall
Are now our very own
We write our names on history's page
With expectations great
Strict guardians of our heritage
Firm craftsmen of our fate

All of us faithful sons and daughters
hereby announce that
these fields and hills beyond revocation
are ours now.
We write our names on the side of history
With great expectations
Rigorous guardians of our heritage
Safe artisans of our fate

The Lord has been the people's guide
for past three hundred years.
With Him still on the people's side
We have no doubts or fears.
Upward and onward we shall go,
Inspired, exulting, free,
And greater will our nation grow
In strength and unity.

The Lord Was the Leader of the People
For the past three hundred years
With Him still on the side of the people
, we have no doubts or fears.
Up and forward we will go,
Inspired, exultant and free,
And our nation will grow
in strength and unity

We loyal sons and daughters all
Do hereby make it known
These fields and hills beyond recall
Are now our very own
We write our names on history's page
With expectations great
Strict guardians of our heritage
Firm craftsmen of our fate

All of us faithful sons and daughters
hereby announce that
these fields and hills beyond revocation
are ours now.
We write our names on the side of history
With great expectations
Rigorous guardians of our heritage
Safe artisans of our fate
