Truth and Right and Freedom, each a holy gem,
Stars of solemn brightness, weave thy diadem.

Thou hast reigned victorious, thou has smiled at fate.

How may we extol thee, praise thee, honour thee?
Hark, a mighty nation maketh glad reply;
Lo, our lips are thankful, lo, our hearts are high!
Hearts in hope uplifted, loyal lips that sing;
Strong in faith and freedom, we have crowned our King!
