Dir angetrauet am Altare,
O Vaterland, wie bin ich dein!
Laß für das Rechte mich und Wahre
Nun Priester oder Opfer sein!

Geuß auf mein Haupt, Herr, deine Schale,
Ein köstlich Öl des Friedens, aus,
Daß ich wie eine Sonne strahle
Dem Vaterland und meinem Haus!

Il re durante l'incoronazione

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Unito a te davanti a questo altare,
o Patria mia, io ti appartengo!
Fa' che adesso in nome della verità e della giustizia,
io sia il celebrante o la vittima sacrificale!

Versa sul mio capo, Signore, il tuo calice
ungimi con l'olio prezioso della pace,
che io possa risplendere come il sole,
per la mia Patria e la mia discendenza!
