National Anthem of South Sudan

Verse 1:

Oh God,

We praise and glorify you

For your grace on South Sudan

Land of great abundance

Uphold us united in peace and harmony.

Verse 2:

Oh motherland

Arise! Raise your flag with the guiding star

And sing songs of freedom with joy,

For justice, liberty and prosperity

Shall forever more reign.

Verse 3:

Oh great patriots!

Let us stand up in silence and respect

Saluting our martyrs whose blood

Cemented our national foundation,

We vow to protect our nation.

God bless South Sudan.
