What is the title of Denmark’s national anthem that begins “There is a lovely land”?

Denmark’s civil national anthem that begins “There is a lovely land” is “Der er et yndigt land.”

Adam Oehlenschläger wrote the Danish lyrics in 1819, and Hans Ernst Krøyer composed the melody. The title translates as “There Is a Lovely Land,” and the song is commonly used as Denmark’s national anthem for civilian occasions.

Denmark also has a royal anthem, “Kong Christian stod ved højen mast,” which is used for royal and military contexts. This dual-anthem arrangement is why descriptions of Denmark’s anthem can vary depending on the ceremony.

The song praises Denmark’s landscape, history, and national community. Its opening words are sometimes translated slightly differently into English, but the Danish title remains the unambiguous canonical answer.
