When we with German blades Carried out many a good stroke, The first of our singing Was dedicated to the emperor and the empire. Glory be to the Lord of Lords, For great things have come to pass; I see in new colours The banners of the empire fluttering And once more beside the emperor The landgrave of Thuringia standing faithfully.
