PROGRAM

Tryggare kan ingen vara,
Än Guds lilla barnaskara,
Stjärnan ej på himlafästet,
Fågeln ej i kända nästet.

Herren sina trogna vårdar,
Uti Sions helga gårdar,
Över dem han sig förbarmar,
Bär dem uppå fadersarmar.

Children of the heav’nly Father
Safely in His bosom gather;
Nestling bird nor star in heaven
Such a refuge e’er was given.

Star Spangled Banner

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there,

Oh, say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Du Gamla, Du Fria

Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga Nord,

Du tysta, du glädjerika, sköna!

Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord,

Din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna,

Din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna!

Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,

Då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden.

Jag vet att du är och blir vad du var.

Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!
