To raise up our land if our love's strong enough.
To search and to save
We went far o'er the wave,
In the countries around rise our watch towers of yore;
But our ensign to-day
Waveth further away,
And it waveth in vigour as never before.
And our future is great,
For the three cloven state
Shall be joinèd again, shall herself be once more.
Then whate'er you can spare
Let the neediest share,
And a gathering river shall treasure the store.
Scandinavia's ours,
And we'll value her powers,
