    Resurrection from the Ruins


    1949: DDR Poet: Johannes Becher Music: Hans Eichler

    From the ruins risen newly, to the future turned, we stand. Let us serve your good will truly, Germany, our fatherland. Triumph over bygone sorrow, can in unity be won. For we shall attain a morrow, when over our Germany, there is radiant sun, there is radiant sun. May both peace and joy inspire, Germany, our fatherland. Peace is all the worlds desire, to the peoples lend your hand. In fraternity united, we shall crush the peoples foe. Let all paths by peace be lighted, that no mother shall again mourn her son in woe, mourn her son in woe.
