Oh Nigeria
Middle child with infant tales
Plains of uncertain destiny
Awake Africa, awake Nigeria
Oh beloved son of stranger
Call on God
Echo the song of unity
For there lies our strength
And in our diversity lies our
Destruction,
Faithful son of the father,
Father of good omen
Awake to your responsibility
Pat the child until he is due for sleep
Tell those sweet talks that gave life
Arise, Arise son of the faithful father
Blessed with abundant resources
Symbol of Gods presence
The time is now
Arise oh Nigeria
