The national anthem of Liberia, titled "All Hail, Liberia, Hail!", has been around since the 19th century when Daniel Bashiel Warner was still President. He wrote the lyrics to this song, while the music was composed by American musician Olmstead Luca.[1]
Lyrics[]
𝄆 All hail, Liberia, hail! 𝄇
This glorious land of liberty
Shall long be ours.
Though new her name,
Great be her fame,
𝄆 And mighty be her powers, 𝄇
In joy and gladness
With our hearts united,
We'll shout the freedom
Of a race benighted,
Chorus:
Long live Liberia, happy land!
𝄆 A home of glorious liberty,
By God's command! 𝄇
𝄆 All hail, Liberia, hail! 𝄇
In union strong success is sure
We cannot fail!
With God above
Our rights to prove
𝄆 We will over all prevail, 𝄇
With heart and hand
Our country's cause defending
We'll meet the foe
With valor unpretending.
Chorus[1][2]
