Nigeria we hail thee!

Nigeria we hail thee
Our own dear native land
Though tribe and tongue may differ
In brotherhood we stand
Nigerians all and proud to serve
Our sovereign motherland
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign
In peace or battle honour
And this we count as gain
To pass unto our children
A banner without stain
O God of all creation
Grant this our one request

 Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.
If only we can have it as above?

The Old National Anthem.
