Luxembourg
"Ons Heemecht" (Our Motherland)

Words by: Michel Lentz
Music by: Jean-Antoine Zinnen
Adopted: 1864

Once using the same tune as was later used by the United States as an anthem, the current Luxembourgish anthem, "Ons Heemecht" was written in 1859 and set to music in 1864. That same year also saw the first performance of the song and its adoption as the national anthem. (The anthem was recently officially named "Ons Heemecht" over the old spelling "Ons Hémécht".) The official lyrics are verses 1 and 4 of the original work (these verses are linked to the lyrics below)
