Old Nigerian National Anthem Lyrics

 

The Old Nigerian National Anthem, officially adopted in 1960 following the country’s independence from British colonial rule, is a poignant reflection of Nigeria’s hopes and aspirations during its formative years as a sovereign nation.

Written by Lillian Jean Williams and composed by Frances Berda, the anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” encapsulates a deep sense of national pride and unity. Its lyrics resonate with themes of patriotism, peace, and collective effort, seeking to inspire Nigerians to uphold the nation’s honor and strive towards a brighter future. The anthem served as a rallying cry for a newly independent nation, symbolizing the beginning of a journey towards self-determination and national identity.

Lyrics of The Old Nigerian National Anthem

Stanza 1
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

Stanza 2
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour’d,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

Stanza 3
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
