For The Gambia, our homeland
We strive and work and pray,
That all may live in unity,
Freedom and peace each day.
Let justice guide our actions
Twords the common good,
And join our diverse peoples
To prove man's brotherhood.
We pledge our firm allegiance,
Our promice we renew;
Keep us, great God of nations,
To The Gambia ever true.
