Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey To serve our fatherland With love and
strength and faith The labor of our heroes past Shall never be in vain To serve
with heart and might One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.
Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause; Guide our leaders right; Help our Youth
the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty
heights attain To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.
