Dios te salve, Patria Sagrada,
en tu seno hemos nacido y amado ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eres el aire que respiramos,
la tierra que nos sustenta,
la familia que amamos,
la libertad que nos defiende,
la religi\u00f3n que nos consuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00fa tienes nuestros hogares queridos,
f\u00e9rtiles campi\u00f1as,
r\u00edos majestuosos,
soberbios volcanes,
apacibles lagos,
cielos de p\u00farpura y oro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En tus campos ondulan doradas espigas,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

en tus talleres vibran los motores,
chisporrotean los yunques,
surgen las bellezas del arte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patria,
en tu lengua armoniosa
pedimos a la Providencia que te ampare,
que abra nuestra alma al resplandor del cielo,
grabe en ella dulce afecto al Maestro y a la Escuela
y nos infunda tu santo amor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patria,
tu historia,
blas\u00f3n de h\u00e9roes y m\u00e1rtires,
rese\u00f1a virtudes y anhelos;
t\u00fa reverencias el Acta que consagr\u00f3 la soberan\u00eda nacional
y marcas la senda florida
en que la Justicia y la Libertad nos lleven hacia Dios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Bandera de la Patria,
s\u00edmbolo sagrado de El Salvador,
te saludan reverentes las nuevas generaciones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para ti el sol vivificante de nuestras glorias,
los himnos del patriotismo,
los laureles de los h\u00e9roes.
Para ti el respeto de los pueblos
y la corona de amor
que hoy ce\u00f1imos a tus inmortales sienes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
