FInlandia. I’ve posted this before but the other day heard a different version in which the chorus came first (somehow the anthem is incomplete without the chorus). This, to me, is the best National Monument and even the words reflect the importance of nature in our world. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all nations could aspire to such an outlook?
This is my song, O God of all the nations
A song of peace, for lands afar and mine
This is my home, the country where my heart is
Hear are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine
My country's skies are bluer than the ocean
And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine
But other lands have sunlight too, and clover
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine
Oh hear my song, thou God of all the nations
A song of peace for their land and for mine

I have posted this before, but the music came first. I heard just the choral version on the local NPR classical station and wanted to post it again as the chorus is the best part.
Certainly my favourite national anthem, except I believe it isn't. I've loved this since my teens. I kept on asking eldest brother what it was, he'd tell me and I would forget.

Marionville: Does that symbol mean that you care? Or what?
@rogerbenham Yes…it is a metaphorical hug!
