There is a Lovely Land

The official lyrics of the National Anthem Denmark

There is a land we love
with shady beech-trees aspread
The briny shores above.
The briny shores above.
Its hills and valleys gently fall,
‘Tis the name of ol’ Denmark,
‘Tis good ol’ Freya’s hall.
‘Tis good ol’ Freya’s hall.

Our ancient Denmark shall remain,
As long as beech tops mirror
In waves of blue their chain!
In waves of blue their chain!

The full lyrics of the National Anthem Denmark

There is a land we love
with shady beech-trees aspread
The briny shores above.
The briny shores above.
Its hills and valleys gently fall,
‘Tis the name of ol’ Denmark,
‘Tis good ol’ Freya’s hall.
‘Tis good ol’ Freya’s hall.

There in the days of yore
Sat armoured giants rested
‘Tween their frays of gore
‘Tween their frays of gore
Then they went forth the foe to face,
Now found in stone-set barrows,
Their final resting place.
Their final resting place.

This land is still as fair,
The sea is blue around it,
And peace is cherished there.
And peace is cherished there.
Strong men and noble women still
Uphold their country’s honour
With faithfulness and skill.
With faithfulness and skill.

Hail king and fatherland!
Hail citizens of honour,
Who do the best they can.
Who do the best they can.
Our ancient Denmark shall remain,
As long as beech tops mirror
In waves of blue their chain!
In waves of blue their chain!

The national anthem Denmark was adopted in 1835.
It was written by Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger and composed by Hans Ernst Krøyer.
