Norwegian originalIPA transcriptionEnglish translationI
God bless our good king!
Bless him with strength and courage
bless home and castle!
(𝄆) Guide him with your Spirit,
forge with your strong Hand
holy bonds of allegiance
around people and king! (𝄇)

Loudly pledge men of Norway
each in his calling, his station,
loyalty to his king.
(𝄆) Loyal in life and death,
courageous in war and distress,
always our Norway obeyed
God and its king. (𝄇)
