O dierbaar België

O heilig land der vaad'ren

Onze ziel en ons hart zijn u gewijd.

Aanvaard ons hart en het bloed van onze adren,

Wees ons doel in arbeid en in strijd.

Bloei, o land, in eendracht niet te breken;

Wees immer u zelf en ongeknecht,

Het woord getrouw, dat ge onbevreesd moogt spreken:

Voor Vorst, voor Vrijheid en voor Recht. (x3)
