O lift high the banner,
the flag of zimbabwe
The symbol of freedom
proclaiming victory;
We praise our heroes sacrifice,
And vow to keep our land from foes;
And may the Almighty
protect and bless our land.


O lovely zimbabwe,
so wondrously adorned
With mountains, and rivers
cascading, flowing free;
May rain abound, and fertile fields;
May we be fed, our labour blessed;
And may the Almighty
protect and bless our land.


O God, we beseech Thee
to bless our native land;
The land of our fathers
bestowed upon us all;
From Zambezi to Limpopo
May leaders be exemplary;
And may the Almighty
protect and bless our land.
