Hail to thee in the Victor’s Wreath, Ruler of the fatherland! Hail to thee, emperor! Feel by the splendor of the throne The greatest joy fully To be the favorite of the people! Hail to thee, emperor! Neither steed nor knight Can secure the towering height, Where princes stand: The Love of the fatherland, The Love of the free man, Found the sovereign’s throne Like a rock in the sea. Holy flame, glow, Glow and never go out For the fatherland! We will all stand together Courageously for one man Fight and bleed with joy For throne and empire! Trade and sciences May lift with courage and strength Their heads upwards! Warriors and heroes deeds May find their laurels of fame Faithfully preserved there At thy throne! Be, Kaiser Wilhelm, here Thy people’s ornament for a long time, The pride of mankind! Feel by the splendor of the throne The greatest joy fully To be the favorite of the People! Hail to thee, emperor!
