Lyrics of Hier Sal Jy Boer - Appel

Hier Sal Jy Boer (original)

Aan die suider punt van Afrika hang onse kruis
Vir die boere wat geval het
Ek hoor hul name in my huis
En vrees is ons vyand
So moenie bang wees nie
Wees ‘n wagter vir jou mense
Daars geen plek vir die duiwel hie
As jy kyk oor jou lande weet God het dit geleen
Sodat jy die volk kan voer
Al kom daar storm weer
Jy is sterker as jou Goliat
Jy is groter as jou berg
Die Here gee nooit meer as wat jy kan hanteer
Hier sal jy boer dit is jou land
Dit is die klank wat jou hart klop maak
Hou net aan glo in die Here daar bo
Dit wat jy droom sal die werklikheid word
Hier sal jy boer
Daar is droogte daar is vloed maar hou net goeie moed
Aan die einde van die grondpad is die uitsig altyd goed
Rug jou oë op na die berge jou hulp kom van daar
Jou toekoms lyk goed, goud soos 'n koring aar
Hier sal jy boer dit is jou land
Dit is die klank wat jou hart klop maak
Hou net aan glo in die Here daar bo
Dit wat jy droom sal die werklikheid word
Ek sien hoe val jy neer met jou knieë in die reën
Gee die wolke 'n oop mond soen die water was jou seën
met die swaarkry dis manna van bo
Dit sal altyd met jou goed gaan solank jy aanhou glo
Hier sal jy boer dit is jou land
Dit is die klank wat jou hart klop maak
Hou net aan glo in die Here daar bo
Dit wat jy droom sal die werklikheid word

(translation)

At the southern tip of Africa hangs our cross
For the farmers who fell
I hear their names in my house
And fear is our enemy
So don't be afraid
Be a watchman for your people
There is no place for the devil
If you look over your lands, God has lent them
So that you can feed the people
Even if the storm comes again
You are stronger than your Goliath
You are bigger than your mountain
The Lord never gives more than you can handle
Here you will farm this is your land
It's the sound that makes your heart beat
Just keep believing in the Lord up there
What you dream will become reality
Here you will farm
There's drought there's flood but just be of good cheer
At the end of the dirt road, the view is always good
Lift up your eyes to the mountains your help comes from there
Your future looks good, golden as an ear of wheat
Here you will farm this is your land
It's the sound that makes your heart beat
Just keep believing in the Lord up there
What you dream will become reality
I see you falling to your knees in the rain
Give the clouds an open mouth kiss the water was your blessing
with the hardship it is manna from above
You will always be fine as long as you keep believing
Here you will farm this is your land
It's the sound that makes your heart beat
Just keep believing in the Lord up there
What you dream will become reality
