Lofsongur, also known as O Gu vors lands, is the national anthem of Iceland. The lyrics are by Matthias Jochumsson and the music by Sveinbjorn Sveinbjornsson. The anthem contains three verses, but only the first one is commonly sung. The melody is by many considered difficult to sing, and requires a vocal range of a minor forteenth. Many Icelandic people claim to be unable to sing it. The anthem is essentially a hymn, consistent with the fact that Iceland has a state church and Christianity is the established religion and one of the bases of the culture.
