*High We Exalt Thee, Realm of the Free*

*High we exalt thee, realm of the free;*

*Great is the love we have for thee;*

*Firmly united ever we stand,*

*Singing thy praise, O native land.*

*We raise up our hearts and our voices on high,*

*The hills and the valleys re-echo our cry;*

*Blessing and peace be ever thine own,*

*Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.*

*One with a faith that wisdom inspires,*

*One with a zeal that never tires;*

*Ever we seek to honour thy name,*

*Ours is the labour, thine the fame.*

*We pray that no harm on thy children may fall,*

*That blessing and peace may descend on us all;*

*So may we serve thee ever alone,*

*Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.*

*Knowledge and truth our forefathers spread,*

*Mighty the nations whom they led;*

*Mighty they made thee, so too may we*

*Show forth the good that is ever in thee.*

*We pledge our devotion, our strength and our might,*

*Thy cause to defend and to stand for thy right;*

*All that we have be ever thine own,*

*Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.[3][4]*
