English - "My land, oh most beauteous"
- My land, oh most beauteous,
- possession most dear,
- Thou drawest me to thee,
- embracing me near;
- becalmed in the summer,
- in winter snow covered,
- magnificent islands,
- by God named beloved.
- The name which men gave thee
- when they thee discovered,
- Oh, God bless thee, Faroes my land.
- Bright gleam, which in summer
- makes hill-tops so fair;
- rough gale, which in winter drives men to despair;
- oh life taking storm,
- oh conquest of soul,
- all making sweet music
- uniting the whole.
- Each hoping and trusting,
- inspiring us all,
- To guard thee, O Faroes my land.
- And therefore, I kneel down,
- to Thee God, in prayer,
- may peaceful my lot be,
- and do thou me spare,
- my soul cleansed; in glory;
- I ask Thee to bless,
- when I raise my banner
- and venture the stress.
- The sign of my task, be
- it lifted on high,
- To guard thee, O Faroes my land.
