| Lyrics: | High we exalt thee, realm of the free;
Great is the love we have for thee;
Firmly united
ever we stand,
Singing thy praise, O native land.
We raise up our hearts and our voices on
high,
The hills and the valleys re-echo our cry;
Blessing and peace be ever thine
own,
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
One with a faith that wisdom inspires,
One
with a zeal that never tires;
Ever we seek to honour thy name,
Ours is the labour, thine the
fame.
We pray that no harm on thy children may fall,
That blessing and peace may descend on
us all;
So may we serve thee ever alone,
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
Knowledge
and truth our forefathers spread,
Mighty the nations whom they led;
Mighty they made thee,
so too may we
Show forth the good that is ever in thee.
We pledge our devotion, our strength
and our might,
Thy cause to defend and to stand for thy right;
All that we have be ever
thine own,
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
