"South Sudan Oyee!" is the national anthem of South Sudan, written and composed by students and professors at Juba University. It was adopted on 9 July 2011 when the country gained independence from Sudan.[1][2][3]
Lyrics[]
Oh God
We praise and glorify You
For Your grace on South Sudan,
Land of great abundance
Uphold us united in peace and harmony.
Oh Motherland
We rise raising flag with the guiding star
And singing songs of freedom with joy;
For justice, liberty and prosperity
Shall forever more reign!
Oh great patriots
Let us stand up in silence and respect,
Saluting our martyrs whose blood
Cemented our national foundation,
We vow to protect our nation.
Oh God, bless South Sudan![4]
