Great nation,
noble land
Great people,
gallant minds
Great God, the
Father of all
Thou art
blessed, oh nation!
Thy vast land,
thy glory
The endless
resources of the greatest worth
These are thy
richly crowns
Thy abundant
human resources thy pride
Swarming thy
soil like bee the hive
In tongue,
though they differ, in tone one they art
In thy children,
the nations art blessed
Thy geography is
great, thy location perfect
In Africa,
though biggest, the head thou art
In the world, a
force; yea, a voice thou art
Nigeria, thee I
love, Nigeria, my pride thou art
Thy many tribes
thy colour
Thy various
tongues thy crown
North and south
home thou art
East and west,
nay, a stranger never thou art
Forbid me if I
talk of thy different people
Thy unity in
diversity still will I praise
Farther a
thought is thy various nations
All I see is the
one, virile Nation, Nigeria thee I hail!
