SONG—WESTERLAND.
Between the oceans deep and wide,
Westerland, O Westerland,
Are many nations side by side,
Westerland, O Westerland!
The waves that greet thy rocky shore,
And tell thy triumphs o'er and o'er,
Say thou shalt live forevermore,
Westerland, O Westerland!
Westerland, O Westerland,
Are many nations side by side,
Westerland, O Westerland!
The waves that greet thy rocky shore,
And tell thy triumphs o'er and o'er,
Say thou shalt live forevermore,
Westerland, O Westerland!
From many mountains, broad and high,
Westerland, O Westerland,
Thy face is lifted toward the sky,
Westerland, O Westerland!
The storms that leap from hill to hill,
The lightning-bolts that dart and thrill,
But make thy people stronger still,
Westerland, O Westerland!
Westerland, O Westerland,
Thy face is lifted toward the sky,
Westerland, O Westerland!
The storms that leap from hill to hill,
The lightning-bolts that dart and thrill,
But make thy people stronger still,
Westerland, O Westerland!
From prairies rich and golden mines,
Westerland, O Westerland,
Thy wealth in constant splendor shines,
Westerland, O Westerland!
The wealth that God has given to thee,
That thou a power for good might be,
And teach the nations to be free,
Westerland, O Westerland!
Westerland, O Westerland,
Thy wealth in constant splendor shines,
Westerland, O Westerland!
The wealth that God has given to thee,
That thou a power for good might be,
And teach the nations to be free,
Westerland, O Westerland!
May all thy ways be just and pure,
Westerland, O Westerland!
That thou through ages mayst endure,
Westerland, O Westerland!
Till, emblem of the free and brave,
O'er Tyranny's dishonored grave,
Thy flag around the world shall wave,
Westerland, O Westerland!
Westerland, O Westerland!
That thou through ages mayst endure,
Westerland, O Westerland!
Till, emblem of the free and brave,
O'er Tyranny's dishonored grave,
Thy flag around the world shall wave,
Westerland, O Westerland!
