Texte original (en inlgés)

High we exalt thee, realm of the free;

Great is the love we have for thee;

Firmly united ever we stand,

Singing thy praise, Ou native land.

We raise up our hearts and our voices on high,

The hills and the valleys Ré-jette our cry;

Blessing and peace be ever thine own,

Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.

One with À faith that wisdom inspires,

One with à zeal that never jettes;

Ever we seek to honour thy name,

Ours is the labour, thine the fame.

We pray that N'harm on thy children may fall,

That blessing and peace may descend on us all;

Sous 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, Sous 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.le:High We Exalt Thee, Realm of the Free
