"Harmonie du Bruderstadt"

Lyrics:

Harmonie du Bruderstadt
Friede soll dich decken
Gott sei mit dir frueh und spaet,
kein Feind darf dich schrecken,
Denn die Zeit ist nunmehr da,
Wo du kannst bestehen
Gott ist seinem Volke nah,
er wird dich erhoehen

Harmony, thou brother-state,
Peace unto thee ever,
God be with thee soon and late,
Foes afright thee never
For it doth now appear
Thou art steadfast holy,
God unto his flock is near
And he will extol thee.

"The End"
