Heer, laat het prinsenvolk der oude Nederlanden Niet ondergaan in haat, in broedertwist en schande; Maak dat uit de oude bron nieuw leven nogmaals vloeit, Schenk ons de taaie kracht om fier, vol vroom vertrouwen, Met nooit gebroken moed ons land herop te bouwen; Tot statig als een eik voor U ons volk herbloeit. |
Lord, let the people of princes of the ancient Netherlands (or low lands) Not perish in hatred, blood feud and shame; From the ancient source, make new life flow once again, Give us the tough strength to proudly and full of pious confidence, With never broken courage, rebuild our land; Until, noble as an oak, our people re-blooms for You. |
