Unknown - Ethiopia Anthem Text lyrics

rate me

Ethiopia land of our fathers

the land where our God wants to be

like bees to a hive swiftly gather

God children are gathered to thee.

With our red, gold and green floating for us

and our Emperor to shield us from wrong

with our hope and our future before us

we hail and we chant and we sing

God bless our Negus, Negus I

who keeps Ethiopia free

to advance with truth and right, truth and right

to advance with love and light, love and light.

With righteousness pleading

we hail to our God and King.

Humanity pleading - one God for us all

Ethiopia the tyrants are falling

who once smote thee ´pon thy knee.

Thy children are heartically calling

from over the distant seas.

Jahoviah - the great one has heard us.

He has come to protect us from wrong.

He has sent his holy angel to guide us

and to protect us in this time

God bless our Negus, Negus I

who keeps Ethiopia free....

to advance with truth and right, truth and right

to advance with love and light, love and light.

With righteousness pleading

we hail to our God and King.

Humanity pleading - one God for us all
