(ONE) Nigeria, we hail thee, our own dear native land, Though tribes and tongues may differ, in brotherhood we stand Nigerians all, and proud to serve, our sovereign Motherland.

(TWO) Our flag shall be a symbol that truth and justice reign, In peace or battle honoured, And this we count as gain, To hand on to our children, A banner without stain.

(THREE) 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, Nigerians may be blessed.
