Oi Suomi, katso, sinun päiväs koittaa, yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois, ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa kuin itse taivahan kansi sois. Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa, sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa! Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle pääs seppelöimä suurten muistojen, oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle sa että karkoitit orjuuden ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle, on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa!
