In 1996 the King of Yiddish Music Leo Fuld recorded a Dutch version of the song as God Bless The Netherlands, that he presented and sang on April 30 to H.M. Queen Beatrix of Holland.
In 1997, American country music recording artist LeAnn Rimes recorded a cover of the song on her second studio album, You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs. After the events of September 11, Rimes re-released the song on a compilation album by the same name. Rimes also released the song on a CD single. Two versions were released on October 16 2001. Both versions contain the song as the A-side track but the B-side tracks were different.
