Arise, O compatriots,
{{wikisource}}
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our Fatherland
With love and strength and faith.
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain,
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.


[[Nigeria]]'s present [[national anthem]], "'''Arise, O compatriots'''" was adopted in 1978.
O God of creation,

Direct our noble cause;
:Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey
Guide our Leaders right:
:To serve our fatherland
Help our Youth the truth to know,
In love and honesty to grow,
:With love and strength and faith
:The labour of our heroes past
And living just and true,
:Shall never be in vain
Great lofty heights attain,
:To serve with heart and might
To build a nation where peace and justice reign.
:One nation bound in freedom, peace and
:unity.

:Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause
:Guide our leaders right
:Help our youth the truth to know
:In love and honesty to grow
:And living just and true
:Great lofty heights attain
:To build a nation where peace and justice
:shall reign

It replaced the anthem "'''Nigeria We Hail Thee'''", adopted on [[History of Nigeria#Independence|independence]] in 1960. The words were written by a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[expatriate]], Lilian Jean Williams, while the music was composed by Frances Benda.

:Nigeria, we hail thee,
:Our own dear native land,
:Though tribe and tongue may differ,
:In brotherhood we stand,
:Nigerians all, and proud to serve
:our sovereign motherland.

:Our flag shall be a symbol,
:That truth and justice reign,
:In peace or battle honoured,
:And this we count as gain
:To hand on to our children
:A banner without stain

:O Lord of all creation,
:Grant this our one request
:Help us to build a nation
:Where no man is oppressed
:And so, with peace and plenty,
:Nigeria may be blessed.

Nigeria's present national anthem, "Arise, O compatriots" was adopted in 1978.

Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace and
unity.
Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace and justice
shall reign

It replaced the anthem "Nigeria We Hail Thee", adopted on independence in 1960. The words were written by a British expatriate, Lilian Jean Williams, while the music was composed by Frances Benda.

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve
our sovereign motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol,
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honoured,
And this we count as gain
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain
O Lord of all creation,
Grant this our one request
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so, with peace and plenty,
Nigeria may be blessed.
