Original text and translations

Ukrainian text

Боже Великий єдини,
нам Україну храни,
Волі і світу промінням
Ти її осіни.

Світлом науки і знання
нас, дітей, просвіти,
в Чистій любові до краю
Ти нас, Боже, зрости!

Молимось, Боже єдиний,
Нам Україну храни,
всі Свої ласки, щедроти
Ти на люд наш зверни.

Дай йому волю, дай йому долю,
дай доброго світа,
щастя, дай, Боже, народу і
многая многая літа!

Ukrainian text

Bozhe velykyj, jedynyj,
Nam Ukrayinu khrany,
Voli i svitu prominniam,
Ty jiji osiny.

Svitlom nauky i znannia
Nas, ditej, prosvity,
v Chystij liubovi do kraiu,
Ty nas, Bozhe, zrosty.

Molymoś, Bozhe jedynyj,
Nam Ukrayinu khrany,
Bsi svoyi łasky shchedroty,
Ty na liud nash zwerny.

Daj yomu boliu, daj yomu doliu,
Daj dobroho svitu, shchastia,
Daj, Bozhe, narodu
I mnohaja, mnohaja lita.

Lord, oh the Great and Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Bless her with freedom and light
Of your holy rays.

With learning and knowledge enlighten
Us, your children small,
In love pure and everlasting
Let us, oh Lord, grow.

We pray, oh Lord Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Grant our people and country
All your kindness and grace.

Bless us with freedom, bless us with wisdom,
Guide into kind world,
Bless us, oh Lord, with good fortune
For ever and evermore.
