Nigeria's first anthem, written by a British expatriate and was in use until 1978, when the government changed the anthem.
I. 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.
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.
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.
