Arise O Compatriots
Nigeria's call obey
To serve with hearts and might
With love and strenght and faith
The labor of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with hearts and might
One nation bound in freedom
Peace and unity
O God of creation
Direct our noble hearts
Guide our leaders right
Help our youths the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
and living just and truth
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation were peace
and justice shall reign.
