THE CALL OF SOUTH AFRICAC. J. LANGENHOVEN wrote the words of Die Stem van Suid-Afrika in 1918. Originally the poem consisted of only three verses, but at the suggestion of various people, the poet added the final verse. The English version, compiled from various individual translations, was officially approved by the Government in 1957.
M. L. DE VILLIERS set the poem to music in 1921. In 1936 the Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge chose this setting as the national anthem. In 1957 the Prime Minister declared it the only official national anthem of South Africa. The song was orchestrated for this recording by Hubert du Plessis.

THE CALL OF SOUTH AFRICA
Ringing out from our blue heavens, from our deep seas breaking round;
Over everlasting mountains where the echoing crags resound;
From our plains where creaking waggons cut their trails into the earth Calls
the spirit of our Country, of the land that gave us birth.
At thy call we shall not falter, firm and steadfast we shall stand,
At thy will to live or perish, O South Africa, dear land.
In our body and our spirit, in our inmost heart held fast;
In the promise of our future and the glory of our past;
In our will, our work, our striving, from the cradle to the grave
There's no land that shares our loving, and no bond that can enslave.
Thou hast borne us and we know thee. May our deeds to all proclaim
Our enduring love and service to thy honour and thy name.
In the golden warmth of summer, in the chill of winter's air,
In the surging life of springtime, in the autumn of despair;
When the wedding bells are chiming or when those we love depart,
Thou dost know us for thy children and dost take us to thy heart.
Loudly peals the answering chorus: We are thine, and we shall stand,
Be it life or death, to answer to thy call, beloved land.
In Thy power, Almighty, trusting, did our fathers build of old;
Strengthen then, O Lord, their children to defend, to love, to hold -
That the heritage they gave us for our children yet may be:
Bondsmen only to the Highest and before the whole world free.
As our fathers trusted humbly, teach us, Lord, to trust Thee still :
Guard our land and guide our people in Thy way to do Thy will.
