Original Lyrics in English
O arise all you sons of this land,
Let us sing of our joy to be free,
Praising God and rejoicing to be
Papua New Guinea.
Shout our names from the mountains to seas
Papua New Guinea;
Let us raise our voices and proclaim
Papua New Guinea.
Now give thanks to the good Lord above
For His kindness, His wisdom and love,
For this land of our fathers so free
Papua New Guinea.
Shout again for the whole world to hear
Papua New Guinea;
We’re independent and we’re free
Papua New Guinea.
