Ethiopia land of our fathers
the land where our God wants to be
like bees to a hive swiftly gather
God children are gathered to thee
With our red, gold and green floating for us
and our Emperor to shield us from wrong
with our hope and our future before us
we hail and we chant and we sing
God bless our Negus, Negus I
who keeps Ethiopia free
to advance with truth and right, truth and right
to advance with love and light, love and light
With righteousness pleading
we hail to our God and King
Humanity pleading - one God for us all
Ethiopia the tyrants are falling
who once smote thee ?pon thy knee
Thy children are heartically calling
from over the distant seas
Jahoviah - the great one has heard us
He has come to protect us from wrong
He has sent his holy angel to guide us
and to protect us in this time
God bless our Negus, Negus I
who keeps Ethiopia free
to advance with truth and right, truth and right
to advance with love and light, love and light
With righteousness pleading
we hail to our God and King
Humanity pleading - one God for us all
