Sei gesegnet ohne Ende

The "Österreichische Bundeshymne" (English: Austrian National Anthem, lit. 'Austrian Federal Hymn'), also known by its incipit "Sei gesegnet ohne Ende", and the "Kernstock-Hymne" (English: Kernstock Anthem, lit. 'Kernstock Hymn'), is a German language song that was used as the national anthem of Austria from 1929 until 1938. Written by Ottokar Kernstock, it was sung to the famous tune of the imperial Austrian anthem, "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" by Joseph Haydn, later known as the tune of the "Deutschlandlied", which since 1922 has been the national anthem of Germany (and formerly West Germany).
