English words

Small channel, O voices off Rhodesia,

God may we thy bounty share,

Give custom strength to face all danger and,

Where challenge is, to dare.

Guide custom, Lord, to wise decision,

Ever off thy grace aware,

Oh, happy let our hearts bravely always,

For this Land within thy care.

Small channel, O voices off Rhodesia,

Bringing her your proud acclaim,

Grandly echoing through the mountains,

Rolling over far flung lime pit.

Roaring in the mighty rivers,

Joining in one great refrain,

Ascending to the sunlit heavens,

Telling off her honoured name.
