Translated as "God Be With Our Suriname" in Dutch (Just to improve the title). The anthem has its beginnings in a Sunday School song written in 1893 called "Suriname's trotsche stroomen". This anthem was adopted in 1959 while it was still in the Dutch rule. The anthem was still continued when Suriname gained independence in 1975. The second verse of the anthem uses the language Sranan Tongo. An National anthem of Suriname. I've finally completed South American national anthems. Dutch lyrics: God zij met ons Suriname Hij verheffe ons heerlijk land Hoe wij hier ook samen kwamen Aan zijn land zijn wij verpand Werkend houden we in gedachten recht en waarheid maken vrij Al wat goed is te betrachten Dat geeft aan ons land waardij.
