Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Hail the Catholic Archdiocese
Located in the coastal warmth of Lagos.
With people from all nations on earth
Into God's family of love;
Where mercy and blessing from on high
Remain our heritage and portion.
REFRAIN
Lord, bless and protect our Archbishop,
Our Priests, Religious and the Laity.
Mater, Mater Ecclesiae, pray for us.
Mater, Mater Ecclesiae, pray for us.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
VERSE 2
And the Cross is our symbol of vict'ry
With the cross we unite with the Lord.
In the cross our strength is renewed
So we win each day and its trials.
Our love for all people, rekindled
For the mission, from the cross to the crown.
VERSE 3
As a great family of God
Bonded in faith, hope and charity.
Teaching and living the life of Christ
In every place human is found.
We hold the cross of the crucified
As the light to our heavenly journey.
