Representative Text

1 أوطاننا ربي
أنشودةَ الزمانْ
وهبتها قلبي
والروحَ والإيمانْ
أُردُنُّها الجميل
وأرزُها الأثيلْ
وبحرةُ الجليلْ
خالدةُ الألحانْ

2 أنارت الدنيا
مُثُلُها العليا
فهي بها تحيا
على مدى الأزمانْ
منها المسيح قامْ
فيها قضى وقامْ
وخلَّصَ الأنامْ
فحققَ الأمانْ

3 يا مصدر الإنعامْ
أيِّد بها السلامْ
وانشره في الأقوامْ
مُوَطَّدُ الأركانْ
وارفع لِوا يسوعْ
في هذه الربوعْ
فتسعدَ الجموعْ
وترتقي الأوطانْ
