NATIONAL ANTHEM

This is the final version approved by the Independence Taskforce, two stanzas sorter than the original:

Oh God!

We praise and glorify you

For your grace on South Sudan,

The land of great abundance

Uphold us united in peace and harmony

Oh motherland!

Arise! Raise your flag with the guiding star

And sing songs of freedom with joy,

For peace, justice and liberty

Shall forever more reign.

Oh great warriors!

Let us stand up in silence and respect

Saluting our martyrs whose blood

Cemented our national foundation,

We vow to protect our nation.

So Lord, bless South Sudan!
