Hört Ihr Herr'n und laßt Euch sagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Hört Ihr Herr'n und laßt Euch sagen:
  Der Feind ist über'n Rhein geschlagen!
  Bewahrt das Feuer in Eurer Brust,
  Das Euch geholfen zu dieser Lust,
  Bewahrt das Licht, Ihr holden Frauen,
  Das Ehrenlicht der Deutschen Gauen.
  Vor allem aber, Ihr Frau'n und Herrn,
  Lobt für’s Jahr Dreyzehn Gott den Herrn,
  Singet und preist ihn von fern und nah!
  Amen, Amen, Victoria!
