  Quotes by Stone, Lloyd




Lloyd Stone (June 29, 1912 - March 9, 1993) was an American poet who wrote the first two stanzas of the 1934 hymn This is My Song[1] [2] using the Finlandia Hymn melody composed by Jean Sibelius. He also wrote several poems about Hawaii.[3] .

"This is my song, O God of all the nations/A song of peace for lands afar and mine./This is my home, the country where my heart is,/here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;/but other hearts in other lands are beating with hope and dreams as true and high as mine. "
