Flamma stolt mot dunkla skyar lik en glimt av sommarns sol över Sveriges skogar,berg och byar, över vattnen av viol, du, som sjunger, när du bredes som vår gamla lyckas tolk: "Solen lyser! Ingen vredes åska slog vårt tappra folk!" Flamma högt vår kärleks tacken, värm oss, när det blåser kallt! Stråla ur de blåa vecken kärlek mera stark än allt! Sveriges flagga, Sveriges ära, förnklenod och framtidstolk, Gud är med oss, Han skall bära stark vårt fria svenska folk.
