High we exalt thee, realm of the free
Great is the love we have for thee
Firmly united ever we stand
Singing thy praise, O native land
We raise up our hearts and our voices on high
The hills and the valleys re-echo our cry
Blessing and peace be ever thine own
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone
One with a faith that wisdom inspires
One with a zeal that never tires
Ever we seek to honour thy name
Ours is the labour, thine the fame
We pray that no harm on thy children may fall
That blessing and peace may descend on us all
So may we serve thee ever alone
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone
Knowledge and truth our forefathers spread
Mighty the nations whom they led
Mighty they made thee, so too may we
Show forth the good that is ever in thee
We pledge our devotion, our strength and our might
Thy cause to defend and to stand for thy right
All that we have be ever thine own
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone
