To All our Volunteers

National Anthem

God Bless our homeland Ghana

And make our nation great and strong,

Bold to defend for everThe cause of Freedom and of Right;

Fill our hearts with true humility,

Make us cherish fearless honesty,

And help us to resist oppressors’ ruleWith all our will and might for evermore.

Hail to thy name, O Ghana,To thee we make our solemn vow:

Steadfast to build together

A nation strong in unity;With our gifts of mind and strength of arm,

Whether night or day, in the midst of storm,

In every need, what’re the call may be,

To serve thee, o Ghana, now and evermore.

Raise high the flag of Ghana

And one with Africa advance;Black star of hope and honour

To all who thirst for liberty;

Where the banner of Ghana freely flies,May the way to freedom truly lie;

Arise, arise O sons of Ghanaland,

And under God march on for evermore!
