Ode to Joy

Rise of voices of Rhodesia, God may we thy bounty share
Give us strength to face all dangers and where challenge is to dare
Guide us Lord to wise decisions ever of thy grave aware
Oh let our hearts beat bravely always for this land within thy care
Rise of voices of Rhodesia bringing her your load acclaim
Grandly echoing through the mountains rolling over far flung plains
Roaring in the mightly rivers joining in one grand refrain
Ascending to the sunlit heavens telling of her honoured name
