To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour 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
