<title>Arise, O Compatriots! Nigeria's Call Obey LW343</title>
<lyrics>[V1]
 1) Arise, o compatriots! Nigeria's call obey
 To serve our fatherland
 With love and strength and faith!
 The labour of our heroes past
 Shall never be in vain
 To serve with heart and might
 One nation bound in freedom, peace, and unity.

[V2]
 2) O, God of creation, direct our noble cause!
 Guide our leaders aright.
 Help our youth the truth to know,
 In love and honesty to grow,
 And, living just and true,
 Great lofty heights attain
 To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.</lyrics>
