Something for the weekend. This is my Song lyrics for the unforgettable Finlandia Hymn.
- This is my song, oh God of all the nations,
- a song of peace for lands afar and mine.
- This is my home, the country where my heart is;
- here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
- but other hearts in other lands are beating
- with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine
- My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,
- and sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine.
- But other lands have sunlight too and clover,
- and skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
- This is my song, oh God of all the nations;
- a song of peace for their land and for mine.

Time is always too precious a commodity Karl!
