National Hymn of Norway - Fedrelandssalmen

National Hymn of Norway - Fedrelandssalmen

From his majesty King Harald V's 70th birthday service in the Trinity Church, Oslo, Norway.

The National Hymn of Norway is norways equivalent to the american hymn "God bless america". It's called "Gud signe vårt dyre fedreland" or in english: "God bless our prescious fatherland".

Lenge leve kongen!

This *is* a great video!! I also am a Norwegian American living in Minnesota. Many of us retain great pride in our heritage (This video certainly stirred that in me!) Those who came before us moved to the U.S. *not* due to governmental persecution, but rather due to desperate economic factors of the time. Perhaps this is why our hearts still tie us to Norway. Thanks for posting this video!

I too played this hymn when I heard about all the kids killed in Norway by that mad man. I've enjoyed visiting Norway (years ago) and was raised in a church that began as part of the Norwegian Lutheran Church in America. We sang this tune....so I know it well. I pray for peace and healing for the families and friends of those who were killed and for all Norway. No country does so much good in the world on a per capita basis!

You can actually hear the canons from the Akershus castle/fortress in the background celebrating the King of Norways birthday.

Even though I'm Australian and don't understand a word, this is still a beautiful stirring hymn. Language isn't necessary to appreciate a beautiful patriotic song.
