THIS

IS MY

SONG

(Jan Sibelius

-1899

/ Wds

Lloyd Stone

-1934)

Finlandia

Choir:

This

is my

song,

O God of all the

nations,

A

song

of

peace

for

lands

afar

and

mine.

This

is my

home,

the

country where

my

heart

is,

Here

are my

hopes,

my

dreams,

my

holy shrine.

But

other hearts

in

other lands

are

beating,

With

hopes

and

dreams

as

true

and

high

as

mine.

Soloist:

My

country's

skies

are

bluer

than

the

ocean,

And

sunlight beams

on

clover leaf

and

pine.

But

other lands have sunlight too,

and

clover,

And

skies

are

everywhere

as

blue

as

mine.

O

hear

my

song,

O God of all the

nations,

A

song

of

peace

for

their land

and for

mine.

Choir:

This

is my

song,

O God of all the

A

song

This

is my

home,

the

country where

my

heart

is,

Here

are my

hopes,

my

dreams,

my

holy shrine.

O

hear

my

song,

O God

of

A
