Hymna Sierry Leone je píseň High We Exalt Thee, Realm of the Free (česky Oslavíme tě, svobodná země). Text napsal Clifford Nelson Fyle a píseň složil John Akar. V roce 1961 se země stala nezávislou na Spojeném království a spolu s vyhlášením nezávislosti nahradila dosavadní britskou hymnu God Save the Queen.
Oficiální text
[editovat | editovat zdroj]- High we exalt thee, realm of the free;
- Great is the love we have for thee;
- Firmly united ever we stand,
- Singing thy praise, O native land.
- We raise up our hearts and our voices on high,
- The hills and the valleys re-echo our cry;
- Blessing and peace be ever thine own,
- Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
- One with a faith that wisdom inspires,
- One with a zeal that never tires;
- Ever we seek to honour thy name,
- Ours is the labour, thine the fame.
- We pray that no harm on thy children may fall,
- That blessing and peace may descend on us all;
- So may we serve thee ever alone,
- Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
- Knowledge and truth our forefathers spread,
- Mighty the nations whom they led;
- Mighty they made thee, so too may we
- Show forth the good that is ever in thee.
- We pledge our devotion, our strength and our might,
- Thy cause to defend and to stand for thy right;
- All that we have be ever thine own,
- Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
