Lyrics

Langs de d'oude Rijnstroom
Strekt zich wijd het Stichtse land.
Willibrord ontstak uw fakkel,
Die onblusbaar verder brandt;
Waar 's Lands Unie werd geboren,
Utrecht, hart van Nederland!


Utrecht, parel der gewesten,
'k Min uw bos en lustwarand'.
'n Eigen stempel draagt uw landschap:
Plas, rivier of heid' en zand,
Weid' en bongerd, bont verscheiden,
Utrecht, hart van Nederland!


Utrecht, nobel, nijver Utrecht,
Middelpunt naar alle kant,
Aan uw eigen stijl en schoonheid
Houd ik steeds mijn zin verpand.
Blijv' in goed' en kwade dagen:
Utrecht, hart van Nederland!
