Under a banner thoughts uplifting
Speaking high of virtue and love
Our days are gently drifting
Wrapped in thy throne high above.

Refrain:
Of Canossa the name bearing
We are standing for the truth
Evil spurning all good caring
Live Canossa in her youth

In our minds a healthy knowledge
In our hearts a loved name
On our lips a smiling solace
That all gloomy spirits tame.

Refrain:
Of Canossa the name bearing
We are standing for the truth
Evil spurning all good caring
Live Canossa in her youth

Live Canossa ever more!
