PROUD, VIKING STOCKHOLM: Vivat Veritas!
HELSINKI: FINLANDIA
L'ETERNEL!
Finland behold, your day of light is dawning.
The threat of night is now forever gone.
The morning lark is singing in the brightness,
As though the firmament itself would sing.
The powers of night
are vanquished by the new day,
Your time is dawning, land where I was born.
Finlandia rise, and
raise your heart in wonder
Lift up your head with crowns of victory.
You showed the world that men must live
in freedom,
Never to bend when tyranny doth rule.
You taught the world that men must live in freedom,
Never
to bow when tyrannies arise.
