This is my song (Song of Peace; Sibelius)
1. This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine
This is my home, the country where my heart is
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts in other lands are beating
with hope and dreams as true and high as mine
2. My country`s skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine.
But other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are ev`rywhere as blue as mine:
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations
a song of peace for their land and for mine.
3. May truth and freedom come to every nation!
May peace abound where strife has raged so long;
that each may seek to love and build together,
A world united, rigthing ev`ry wrong;
A world united in its love for freedom,
proclaiming peace together in one song.
