In 1947 composer Mikola Ravienski wrote music for the poem "Prayer" written by Natallia Arsiennieva four years earlier.
In 1993 the Catholic Church in Belarus initiated a festival of ecclesiastical music in Mahilioŭ which was named after the hymn.
Над Беларусяй, ціхай і ветлай, Рассып праменьні свае хвалы.
O God almighty, O Lord of creation, Of splendid suns and of humble hearts, To Belarus, peaceful and patient, The radiance of Thy glory impart.
O bless our daily toil, performed soundly, For native land and for bread to live, Honour and dignity and faith abounding In our cause, in our future — O give!
