Lyrics

Ethiopia
The land of our fathers
The land where the gods love to be
Like bees to their hive, so they gather
Thy children are gathered to thee
With the red, gold and green floating ov'r us
With the Emperor to shield us from wrong
With our God and our future before us
We hail thee with chants and with song
God bless our Negus, Negus I
And who keeps Ethiopia free
(To advance)
To advance with truth and right
Truth and right
To advance with love and light
Love and light
With righteousness pleading
We haste to the call
Humanity's pleading
One God for us all
One God
For us all
The Most High
Jah
Jah!
Rastafari!
Almighty God!
