| Hymn
for Nations
Brother, sister,
sing your anthem
Shout your land's undying fame
Light the wondrous tale of nations
With your people's golden name
Tell your parent's noble story
Raise on high your county's sign
Join, then, in a final glory
People lift you flag with mine!
Hail
the sun of peace, new rising
Hold the war clouds closer furled
Blend our banners, o my people
In the rainbow of the world
Red a blood and blue as heaven
Wise with age & proud of youth
Melt our colors, wonder woven
In the great bright light of truth!
Build
the road of peace before us
Build it wide & deep & long
Speed the slow & check the eager
Help the weak & curb the strong
None shall push aside another
None shall let another fall
March beside me, o my comrades
All for one & one for all.

Ode to Joy;
