LYRICS
1
Nigeria, we hail thee
Our own dear native land
Though tribes and tongue may differ
In brotherhood we stand
Nigerians all, are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
2
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign
In peace or battle honour'd
And this we count as gain
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.
3
O God of all creation
Grant this our one request
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.
