God, save the tsar of ours
Sovereign, vigorous!
Reign for the glory of,
Always defend beloved,
Orthodox rigorous.
God, save the tsar of ours!

Save, God, for us the tsar!
Let him to be the star
On Russian earth.
Insolence we’ll defeat.
Weak ones ’ll get a treat.
Living for all ’ll be sweet.
God, make us mirth!

Sovereign first of all
Of Orthodox as called
Save Russia, God!
Realms with powers
Where wealth flowers
From what’s not ours
Help us to guard!

Oh, worldly providence,
Your highest prominence,
Bring us the mirth!
Being of good repute
With happy life pursuit
On a demure route
Bless us on earth!
