Gott Erhalte Franz Den Kaiser

Franz Joseph Haydn Franz Joseph Haydn

God Save Emperor Francis

God save Emperor Francis
Our good Emperor Francis
High as ruler, high as sage
He stands in the glory of fame
Love twists laurel branches
For him, for the eternal green wreath
God save Emperor Francis
Our good Emperor Francis!

Over blooming fields
His scepter reaches far and wide
Pillars of his throne are kindness
Uprightness and honesty
And from his coat of arms
Shines forth justice
God save Emperor Francis
Our good Emperor Francis!

To adorn himself with virtues
He values the worth of worries
Not to crush peoples
The sword flames in his hand
To bless them, to make them happy
Is the prize he desires
God save Emperor Francis
Our good Emperor Francis!

He broke the bonds of servitude
Raised us to freedom!
May he early experience the highest bloom
Of German lands, German peoples
And may he still hear on the edge
The later chorus of his grandchildren
God save Emperor Francis
Our good Emperor Francis!
