Original text German translation

All hail, Liberia, hail! (All hail!)
All hail, Liberia, hail! (All hail!)
This glorious land of liberty
Shall long be ours.
Though new her name,
Green be her fame,
And mighty be her powers,
And mighty be her powers.
In joy and gladness
With our hearts united,
We'll shout the freedom
Of a race benighted,
Long live Liberia, happy land!
A home of glorious liberty,
By God's command!
A home of glorious liberty,
By God's command!

All hail, Liberia, hail! (All hail!)
All hail, Liberia, hail! (All hail!)
In union strong success is sure.
We cannot fail!
With God above
Our rights to prove,
We will o'er all prevail,
We will o'er all prevail!
With heart and hand our country's cause defending,
We'll meet the foe with valor unpretending.

A home of glorious liberty,
By God's command!

Hail to you, Liberia, to you safe!
Hail to you, Liberia, to you safe!
This glorious land of freedom shall

Though your name is new,
May your glory be green,
And your powers be great,
And your powers be mighty.
In happiness and joy
And united in all our hearts,
We shall proclaim the freedom of
One race living in darkness,
Long live Liberia, happy land!
A home of glorious freedom,
By God's command!
A home of glorious freedom,
By God's command!

Defending the well-being of our country with heart and hand,
We will meet the enemy with unwavering daring.
