Rise O Voices Of Rhodesia

Rise O Voices of Rhodesia was adopted as the national anthem of Rhodesia in 1974, following its Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Britain in 1965. Embarrassingly, the tune was that of Beethoven's Choral Symphony, which was also used by the Council of Europe, and subsequently by the European Community. The words, wrtitten by Mary Bloom, a South African, were chosen from in a national competition.
Rise O voices of Rhodesia,
God may we thy bounty share,
Give us strength to face all danger,
And where challenge is, to dare.
Guide us, Lord, to wise decision,
Ever of thy grace aware.
Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always
For this land within thy care.
Rise O voices of Rhodesia,
Bringing her your proud acclaim,
Grandly echoing through the mountains
Rolling over far flung plain
Roaring in the mighty rivers
Joining in one grand refrain
Ascending to the sunlit heavens
Telling of her honoured name
