Bundeslied Op. 122 by Ludwig van Beethoven — Lyrics
In allen guten Stunden,
erhöht von Lieb´ und Wein,
soll dieses Lied verbunden
von uns gesungen sein!
Uns hält der Gott zusammen,
der uns hieher gebracht,
erneuert unsre Flammen,
er hat sie angefacht.
Uns hat ein Gott gesegnet
mit freiem Lebensblick
und alles, was begegnet,
erneuert unser Glück.
