Lyrics: Вам, избранникам народа, Русь челом бьёт до земли! Вольной волюшки желанной Вы нам знамя принесли. Долг священный, долг высокий Шлёт вас Родина свершить — Путь широкий обновленья Ей открыть и освятить. Знаньем, правдою засеять Света ждавшие поля… Да воспрянет к жизни новой Днесь свободная земля!
