THE OLYMPIC HYMN Happy is the man chosen for Fame: The Palm of Victory on his brow Shows him to the crowd's acclaim. He shall taste for his rewards the joys Devine: Let the muses set a crown upon his head And let an immortal song Add to the glory of Triumph and to the Beauty of Youth the Victor's name.
BEFORE THE OLYMPIC OATH After the Olympic Hymn, a touch of solemnity and Spiritual goodwill is provided by a dedicatory address by the President of the IOC, followed by the rendition of Mozart's Hallelujah Chorus by the live chorus. Then the host country's Olympic Team Captain, mounts the rostrum and reads the Olympic Oath.
The Olympic Oath We swear that we will take part in the Olympic Games, in loyal competition, respecting the regulations, which govern them and the desire of participating in them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the honor of our Country and for the Glory of Sport
