The all-people hymn "Song of Loyalty" was created in Juche 58 (1969).
The song sings of the noble ideological sentiments of the Korean people to hold in high esteem and follow forever the great leader Kim Il Sung who devoted himself to the liberation of the country and the freedom and happiness of the people and to the victory of the socialist cause.
Here are the words of the song.
Exposed to snowstorm on the steep Jangbaek
Our leader made a long march of revolution
To the great leader who liberated the country
People pledge single-hearted loyalty
He visits farms, his shoes wet with cold dew
He calls at factories in the early snowy morning
His great favour will shine forever
People sing of loyalty from the bottom of their hearts
Bright is the sun on our land of tapestry
Songs of happiness are heard everywhere
People will live in a reunified country
Forever under the care of the great leader
The song is widely sung by the Korean people today, too.
Now you will appreciate the song in female solo and mixed chorus.
