Princes shall come out of Egypt
Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God
Oh thou God of Ethiopia, thou God of divine Majesty
Thy spirit come within our hearts to dwell in living righteousness
That the hungry be fed, the sick nourished
The aged protected, and the infant cared for
Teach us love and loyalty as it is in Zion.
Deliver us from the hands of our enemy
Deliver us from the hands of our enemy
That we may prove faithful unto the last day
When our enemy has passed, and decayed in the depth of the sea
Or in the belly of the beast.
O' Give us a place in thy Kingdom forever and ever.
So we hail Our God Selassie I, Jah Rastafari, Almighty God
O' Give us a place in thy Kingdom forever and ever.
So we hail Our God Selassie I, Jah Rastafari, Almighty God
John Hoy Rastafari, great and terrible God Rastafari
Who sitteth in Zion and reigns in the hearts of men, and women
Who sitteth in Zion and reigns in the hearts of men, and women
Hear and bless us and sanctify, and cause thy loving face to shine upon us
We are thy children, and We pray that I and I may be saved.
Blessed is the name of the Lord God Jah Ras Tafari, and
Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jah
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I
Let the name of His glory be blessed.
So be it, so be it, so be it blessed.
