National Anthem - Ethiopia Anthem Text lyrics

Ethiopia land of our fathers the land where our God wants to be like bees to a hive swiftly gather God children are gathered to thee. With our red, gold and green floating for us and our Emperor to shield us from wrong with our hope and our future before us we hail and we chant and we sing God bless our Negus, Negus I who keeps Ethiopia free to advance with truth and right, truth and right to advance with love and light, love and light. With righteousness pleading we hail to our God and King. Humanity pleading - one God for us all Ethiopia the tyrants are falling who once smote thee 'pon thy knee. Thy children are heartically calling from over the distant seas. Jahoviah - the great one has heard us. He has come to protect us from wrong. He has sent his holy angel to guide us and to protect us in this time God bless our Negus, Negus I who keeps Ethiopia free.... to advance with truth and right, truth and right to advance with love and light, love and light. With righteousness pleading we hail to our God and King. Humanity pleading - one God for us all Sent by Carlos Andr Pereira da Silva Branco
