"For you will go out with joy and be led ahead in peace; the mountains and the hills will break out into singing before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12
Thank you
1. Thank you for your many riches, thank you for joy and sorrow. Thank you for the brightest light and the darkest darkness. Thank you for the moon and the sun and the night and life and death.
2. Thank you for our beautiful region, our own people, our brothers and sisters, and thank you for our relatives, friends and strangers. Thank you for the spring sun that fills our hearts with compassion and kindness.
3. Thank you for our memories and the past days, thank you for the hours to come and today's events. Thank you for our dreams that may one day bring us comfort and wisdom.
4. Wanderers and years all disappear, so high are the heavens, so frail are the flies in a storm. But life cares, sows and reaps.
5. I remember those who are gone, as tomorrow rests on yesterday. Even the greatest will be gone, but in the present life goes on, is filled again.
6. Weeks fade, years disappear, generations change, The passage of time will take us all the same. Times pass, people come, live, go.
Hymn No. 910 (Lyrics: Nils-Aslak Valkeapää)
