Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee,
Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee,
We lay our future in thy hand.
We lay our future in thy hand.
United, free,
United, free,
For liberty
For liberty
Together we’ll always stand.
Together we’ll always stand.
Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.
Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.
Our love and labour we give,
Our love and labour we give,
And with neighbours all
And with neighbours all
At our country’s call
At our country’s call
In peace and friendship we’ll live.
In peace and friendship we’ll live.
Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us
Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us
By sun and fertile soil grown.
By sun and fertile soil grown.
For our own dear land,
For our own dear land,
We’ll always stand,
We’ll always stand,
The Pearl of Africa’s Crown.
The Pearl of Africa’s Crown.
