Sound the trumpet till around You make the listening shores rebound. On the sprightly oboy play. All the instruments of joy That skilful numbers can employ To celebrate the glory of this day.

Blaas trompetgeschal in 't rond Laat 't weerklinken op stil strand en grond. Speel op de vrolijke hobo. Alle instrumenten zo blij Die velen kunnen bespelen Om deze glorieuze dag te vieren.
