BELGIUM'S NATIONAL ANTHEM
Fled the years of servile shame 1 ' . Belgium, 'tis thine hour at last. ': Wear again thy glorious name, • . . Spread thy banner on the blast. Sovereign people in thy might, Steadfast yet and vaiiant be, On thine ancient standard write:' King, and Law, and Liberty. Strive, nor seek discharge at length, Hold thy courage as thy crown. God, Who keeps thee in His strength, On thy labours smileth down. v Over all thy fruitful land Labour's prize is full and free, On thine arts, enthroned stand, King, and Law, and Liberty! Foes, that were our friends of old, i. . Are returned to love at last. ' All the free we prize as gold, Praying that our strife be past. Belgians and Batavians, friends, Knit in brotherhood shall be; With one voice the shout ascends f King, and Law* and Liberty. ■'.".■ i' ■ Belgium, Mother, thus, we vow, Never ehall our love abate. Thou our hope, our safety thou, Hearts and'blood are consecrate. Grave, we pray, upon thy shield . This device eternally, . . ■ ' Weal or woe, at home, afield, . King, and Law, and Liberty. .
