finlandia hymn

The Finlandia Hymn (in Finnish Finlandia-hymni) is a patriotic song by Jean Sibelius which takes its melody from the last section of the symphonic poem Finlandia. The work was published as the last of twelve numbers in Sibelius's Masonic Ritual Music, opus 113, with a text by opera singer Win Sola. The version usually heard today has lyrics written by Veikko Antero Koskenniemi and was first performed in 1941. The tune was adopted by Biafra for its national anthem during its attempted secession from Nigeria. The Christian hymn Be Still, My Soul uses this tune. Lyrics

Oi, Suomi, katso, sinun pivs' koittaa,

Yn uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,

Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa,

Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois'.

Yn vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,

Sun pivs' koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.

Oi, nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle,

Ps' seppelim suurten muistojen.

Oi, nouse, Suomi, nytit maailmalle,

Sa ett karkoitit orjuuden,

Ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle,

:On aamus' alkanut, synnyinmaa.
