| ETHIOPIAN INTERNATIONAL ANTHEM (1) Ethiopia the land of our father, The land where all Gods and goddess love to be. As a swift cloud of might,so they gather, God children are gathered to thee. (2) With our Red Gold and Green floating over us, With our Emperor to shield us from wrong. With our God and our future to shield us, We hail and we shout and we sung. Chorus: God bless our Negus, Negus high And keep Ethiopia free, To advance with truth and right, To advance with love and light. With righteousness set speeding we haste to the calling. Humanity is pleasing one God for us all. (3) Ethiopians, The tyrant is falling, Who smote thee upon our knee, And thy children are lustilly calling, From over the distant sea. (4) Jahovia the great one has heard us, He has heard our sigh and our plea. With a spirit of love Jah has brought us, To be one through this coming age. (5) O Eternal God of this ages, Grant unto our sons and daughters that live, Thy wisdom knowledge understanding thou give to this age, When Israel was so in need. (6) Thy voice through the dim pass has spoken, Ethiopia shall stretch forth our hand, By thee all barriers be broken, And heaven bless our dear mother land. |
