[edit] Lyrics
- 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 name 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.
