Hymn to Saint Sava
Let us exclaim love
to Saint Sava!
Serbian churches and schools –
exclaim to the saint’s wisdom.
Thither wreath, thither glory
whereat our Serbian shepherd Sava.
Sing, Serbs,
and make the song threefold!
Grateful Serbia,
you’re so full of love
towards your shepherd
Saint Sava.
All of Serbdom celebrates
its father Saint Sava.
Sing, Serbs,
and make the song threefold!
From heavens comes the blessings
from the Holy Father Sava.
Serbs, from all sides –
from the seaside and the Danube,
raise your heads to the skies
and look for Sava there:
Sava, the Serbs’ patron
in front of the Creator’s Throne!
May all Serbian hearts
unite with you!
May the sun of peace and love
shine on all of us!
Help us all live
in harmony, Saint Sava!
Hear the voice of your kin,
the Serbian people!
For five centuries the Serbs
have languished in slavery,
yet they celebrated
the name of Saint Sava.
Saint Sava loves the Serbs
and prays to God for them.
Sing, Serbs,
and make the song threefold!
