Die Gelofte
The Vow
Here we stand before the holy God
Of heaven and earth
To make a vow to Him
To make a vow to Him
That if he protects us
And will give our enemy into our hand
On the day and the date
Every year we will mark a thanksgiving day
A Sabbath we will bring
[Pre-Chorus]
And that we will build a house in His honor
Where it pleases Him
And that we will tell our children
That they should share it with us
In memory also for the future generations
[Choir]
For the glory of His name
Will be glorified
Through the fame and the honor
Of His giving victory
For the glory of His name
Will be glorified
Through the fame and the honor
Of His giving victory
[Verse 2]
Here we stand before the holy God
Of heaven and earth
To make a vow to Him
To make a vow to Him
That if he protects us
And will give our enemy into our hand

Every year we will mark a thanksgiving day
A Sabbath we will bring
[Pre-Chorus]
And that we will build a house in His honor
Where it pleases Him
And that we will tell our children
That they should share it with us
In memory also for the future generations
[Choir]
For the glory of His name
Will be glorified
Through the fame and the honor
Of His giving victory
For the glory of His name
Will be glorified
Through the fame and the honor
Of His giving victory
[Choir]
For the glory of His name
Will be glorified
Through the fame and the honor
Of His giving victory
For the glory of His name
Will be glorified
Through the fame and the honor
Of His giving victory

This song is about The Day of the Vow, commemorating the Battle of Blood River. Though revisionist historians in modern SA have done their best to bury the history, one source of information is http://boers.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Battle-of-Blood-River.pdf.
