10 • Lögberg-Heimskringla • Föstudagur 1. maí 1992 TRANSLATION OF “Ó, Guð Vors Lands” BY MATTHÍAS JOCHUMSSON 0, GOD OF OUR COUNTRY 0, God of our country! O, land of our God! We praise, O, we praise thy heavenly name. Thy sunkist skies have knit thee a crown. Thy true patriots - a mark of time. For thee a day is a thousand years, And a thousand years but a day. One etemal flower with a quivering tear, Humbly worships her God and dies. Iceland’s thousand years! Iceland’s thousand years! One etemal flower with a quivering tear, Humbly worships her God and dies. O, God! O, God! On our knees we bend, And surrender our fervid buming soul. God, Father, our Lord - from kin to kin, We pour out profusely Thy Sacred Scroll. We hail Thee and thank Thee for a thousand years, For Thou art our only protecting mast. We hail Thee and thank Thee with a quivering tear, For Thou predestined our unfolding past. Iceland’s thousand years! Iceland’s thousand years! Tears shed in the dusk the previous night, Are dried by the warmth of the morn- ing sun. O, God of our country! O, land of our God! Like a withered weed in the wind we are. We die if Thou art not our light and our life, To keep us from biting the dust in our strife. O! be with us each morn so Thy life we may breathe; Be our guide to help us endure our plight; In the night, be our blessed comfort and rest; And a duke to direct our country aright. Iceland’s thousand years! Iceland’s thousand years! May we surge onward with a diminish- ing tear. May we grow by the touch of God’s helping hand. Translation bySignm S.
