- The gay star shining in the sky,
- Bright with the souls of your fathers,
- Benath whose shade we'll live and die!
- Red for the blood of the heroes in the fight,

- And make our nation great and strong,
- Brave to defend for ever
- The cause of freesom and of right.
- For ever the flag of Ghana proudly flies
- In distant seas or else beneath our skies.
- Let peace and fellow-feeling be our might,
- And may our name be a radiant light.
- This be our vow, O Ghana,
- To live as one, in unity,
- And in your strength, O Ghana,
- To build a new fraternity!
- Africa waits in the night of the clouded years
- For the spreading light that now appears
- To give us all a place beneath the sun:
- The destined ending of a task well done.
