Nigerian Old National Anthem

The first National Anthem was written by Miss L. J. William (A British).

NIGERIAN OLD NATIONAL ANTHEM

1.  Nigeria, we hail thee
     Our own dear native land
     Though tribe and tongue may differ
     In Brotherhood we stand
     Nigerians all are proud to serve
     Our sovereign mother land

2.  Our flag shall be a symbol
     The truth and justice reign
     In peace or battle honoured and
     This we count as gain
     To hand unto our children
     A banner without stain

3.  Oh God of all creation
     Grant this our one request
     Help us to build a nation
    Where no man is oppressed
    And so with peace and plenty
    Nigeria may be blessed.
