by Joseph Alois Moshamer (1800 - 1878)

Der Voelker Weihe‑Gruss
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Immer ist Liebe, die Edengeborne,
  Quelle des Wohlthun's und Bronnen der Lust,
Hoch auf dem Throne doch trägt sie noch reicher
  Segen der Völker in heiliger Brust.

Hoch auf dem Throne und näher dem Himmel
  Spendet sie doppelt das Heil und das Glück,
Doch das ist Aussaat auf fruchtbarem Boden:
  Liebe der Völker zahlt reichlich zurück! --
