BA BETA KRISTIYAN HAILE SELASSIE I 

Ethiopia thou Land of our Fathers
Thou land where the Gods love to be
As storm clouds at night suddenly gathers
Our armies come rushing to thee
With our Green, Gold, and Red, floating before us
And our Emperor to shield us from wrong
With our God and future before us
We shout and we hail with this song
 
Chorus
God bless our Negus Negus I
And keep Ethiopia free
To advance with truth and right
To advance with love and right
With righteousness pleading
We hail to the call
With humanity pleading
One God for us all
 
Ethiopia the tyrants are falling
Who smooth thee upon thy knee
and thy children are lusting the calling
From over the distant sea
Rastafari the great God has heard us
He has noted our sight and our tears
With his spirit of love he has steered us
To be one through the coming years
​
Chorus
God bless our Negus Negus I
And keep Ethiopia free
To advance with truth and right
To advance with love and right
With righteousness pleading
We hail to the call
With humanity pleading
One God for us all
 
Oh Jehovah, Thou God of the ages
Grant unto our sons that lead
The wisdom thou gave to the Sages
When Ethiopia was sore in need
Thy voice through the dim past has spoken
Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand
By thee shall all fetters be broken
And Zion bless our dear motherland
 
Chorus
God bless our Negus Negus I
And keep Ethiopia free
To advance with truth and right
To advance with love and right
With righteousness pleading
We hail to the call
With humanity pleading
One God for us all
