Blessed be this noble land,
Gift to us from God's strong hand,
Heritage our fathers left to
us,
May it always be at peace.
Awake, awake, O men, awake!
And women close beside them
stand,
Together we'll work and serve
This land, this happy land!
Word of beauty and of
fame,
The name Botswana to us came.
Through our unity and harmony,
We'll remain at peace
as one.
