by Johann Baptist Müller (1818 - 1862)

Der Name Vaterland
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Theurer Name, Vaterland! 
Wenn du uns erklingt im Liede, 
Schlagen froh wir Hand in Hand;  --  
Lust erfüllet uns und Friede. 
Vaterland!  du theurer Name, 
Vaterland! 

Schöner Name, Vaterland! 
Thal und Höhen, Seen und Flüsse 
Und der ew'ge Alpenstand 
Jauchzen laut dir ihre Grüße, 
Vaterland!  du schöner Name, 
Vaterland!  

Süßer Name, Vaterland! 
Hoch und Niedrig, Arme, Reiche 
Eint der Liebe segnend Band  --  
Allen bist du ja das gleiche: 
Vaterland!  du süßer Name, 
Vaterland!  

Stolzer Name, Vaterland! 
Bist auf immer grüne Blätter 
Hingemalt im Siegsgewand 
Mit dem Blute unsrer Väter. 
Vaterland!  du stolzer Name, 
Vaterland!  

Heil'ger Name, Vaterland! 
Bist an's Firmament geschrieben 
Und den Seelen wohl bekannt, 
Die im Lieben treu geblieben! 
Theurer, süßer, heil'ger Name, 
Vaterland!
