Oh Uganda ! may God uphold thee,
We lay our future in thy hand.
United, free,
For liberty
Together we'll always stand.

Oh Uganda ! the land of freedom.
Our love and labour we give,
And with neighbours all
At our country's call
In peace and friendship we'll live.

Oh Uganda ! the land that feeds us
By sun and fertile soil grown.
For our own dear land,
We'll always stand :
The Pearl of Africa's Crown..
