From our fathers' loins descended,
Brothers of a single line,
Ye with whom we have contended
In the web of God 's design,
Brother warring against brother
In the angry battle's flood,
Still our hearts called each to other,
We are brothers of one blood!

Now barbarians assailing,
We together must withstand,
Heedless of the women's wailing,
Heedless of the coward band;
Brother side by side with brother
In the angry battle's flood,
Hearts still calling, each to other,
We are brothers of one blood!

And hereafter, in fraternal
Bonds no jealousy can burst,
Let us swear a pact eternal —
Come the best or come the worst;
Brother back to back with brother
'Gainst the whole world's hostile flood,
Hearts still calling, each to other,
We are brothers of one blood!
