🎵 Anthem (Instrumental) 🎤 Anthem (Vocal)
O God of our land! O our land's God! We worship Thy holy, holy name! From the solar systems of the heavens bind for Thee a wreath Thy warriors, the assembly of the ages. For Thee is one day as a thousand years, And a thousand years a day and no more, One small flower of eternity with a quivering tear, That prays to its God and dies. Iceland's thousand years! Iceland's thousand years! One small flower of eternity with a quivering tear, That prays to its God and dies.
Ó, guð vors lands! Ó, lands vors guð! Vér lofum þitt heilaga, heilaga nafn! Úr sólkerfum himnanna hnýta þér krans Þínir herskarar, tímanna safn. Fyrir þér er einn dagur sem þúsund ár Og þúsund ár einn dagur ei meir. Eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár Sem tilbiður guð sinn og deyr. Íslands þúsund ár, Íslands þúsund ár, Eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár Sem tilbiður guð sinn og deyr.
