Who are the sons of the provinces of Russia,

And this is the day we have looked for:

We have found it, we have seen it—

For she has bent down her pity to receive us

Under the shade of her wings of compassion,

And to comfort us with shade of her mighty rule,

For a name, for a praise, and for glory!

Yea, our souls within us are bound

To implore Him, who is fearful in mighty acts,

With praises and prayers,
