The new hymn text to the traditional melody is based on the Swiss core values expressed in the preamble of the Swiss Federal Constitution. As 500,000 Swiss abroad and residents in Switzerland are native English spea- kers, the new text has been translated not only into the four official Swiss languages but also into English. All Swiss clubs are invited to sing the new hymnal text at their federal celebrations on August 1. More information can be found at: www.sgg-ssup.ch/en/nationalhymne.html. As soon as the new hymn text is known enough, the Swiss electorate will be asked to determine it. The creation of the new text is an initiative of the Swiss Society for the Common Good that donated the Rütli meadow to the Swiss people and promotes social cohesion in Switzerland. New text for the Swiss national anthem White cross on a shining red, woven by a common thread: freedom, independence, equality. Open to the world in solidarity, Swiss are one in peace and diversity. Free are we who freely speak, strong as we protect the weak. White cross on a shining red, sign of Switzerland, the path we tread.
