Laulu Suomelle
Scandinavian Metal Praise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vielä turva Jumalassa on.
Vaikka sammuis tähdet, älä pelkää,
Jumala ei hylkää, siihen luota vaan.
Vesi virtaa alla routamaan.
Vesi virtaa alla routamaan.
Vielä kukkii koko tämä maa.
Vielä veisaa västäräkki kerran
kunniaksi Herran, virren ihanan.
Ja se laulaa lailla leijonan.
Ja se laulaa lailla leijonan.
Nouse salkoon lippu valkoinen.
Piirrä pilviin risti sininen.
Se on kallein aarre isänmaamme,
merkki Kuninkaamme, liitto ikuinen.
Nouse salkoon toivo sydänten,
nouse salkoon risti Jeesuksen.
