Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Arise O compatriots! Nigeria's call obey.
To serve our Father land with love and strength and faith.
The labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain.
To serve with heart and mind
one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.
VERSE 2
O God of creation, direct our noble cause.
Guide Thou 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 reign.
