THE BLACKMAN'S UNIVERSAL NATIONAL ANTHEM written by the Honorable Marcus Garvey

Eternal thou God of the Ages
Grant unto thy sons that lead
thy wisdom thou gave to the sages
when Israel was sore in need.

Thy voice through the dim past has spoken.
Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands
By thee shall all Barriers be broken
and heaven help our Dear Father's Land.

Chorus:
Advance. Advance to Victory
Let Africa be Free
To Advance to meet the Foes
To Advance to meet the Foes
With Righteousness leading
We haste to the call
Humanity's pleading
One God For us all.

Ethiopia the Land of our Fathers
The Land where all God's Love to be,
As swift bees to hive
Suddenly Gather
Thy children come rushing to thee
with the red-gold-and green
Floating o'er us
And our Emperor to shield us from wrong
With our God and Our Future before us
We hail thee with shouts and with songs.

Chorus: Advance, Advance to Victory. etc

Ethiopia the Tyrants are fallen
Who smote thee upon thy knees
And thy children are lustily calling
From over the distant seas.
Jahovah the Great One has heard us
He has heard our cries and our tears,
With the Spirit of Love he has taught us
To be one through the coming years.

Chorus: Advance, Advance to Victory. etc

 

RALLY TO RED TOLD AND GREEN

Come rally to red gold and green
Hands and hearts must be pure
and be clean
For the key must be sincerity
with Justice and Equality.
Equality cometh for all
All who know Satan's Kingdom must Fall
For the Father hath sent us a son
To break down their swords and their guns.
No matter what powers there be
Can Prevent Emperor Haile Selassie
For the Lion of Judah is here
To Give every one equal share.

Never to be Remembered anymore
Never to be remembered anymore
Cast your record of sinfulness
into the sea of forgetfulness
Never to be remembered anymore.

 

UNIVERSAL TRIBULATION

Universal Tribulation
is upon mankind
see the people disunited in this time.
Come together, Brother. Sister.
Time is gliding on
Hear the voice of Ethiopia
Everyone.
Emperor Haile Selassie
Hail the King of Time
They say Jesus we say Negus
True birthright.
Enemies of Ethiopia
Must go down in One.
There shall never be andother.
Babylon!

 

I WANT TO SEE KING RASTAFARI

I want to see King Rastafari
To Look upon His Face,
with the sheets of glory, shining around his face.
I want to bid all the gentiles them to come,
to look upon his face.
Going home, we'are going home
To see King Rasta's Face.

Chorus. Ally ally ally ally

For Negus in the Rock of Ages
Cleft For "I"
For Negus is the Rocks of Ages
Cleft for "I"
For Negus is the Rocks of Ages
Cleft for "I"
Ally Lu Yaa

YOU CAN COUNT ON I

You can count on I
Working for King Rastafari
Faithful I will be
I will Fight Babylon
with all my might
You can count on me,
"Repeat" 3 times.

 

BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON

By the Rievers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remember Zion
For the wicked carried us away in capitivity
Required from us a song
But how can we sing
Rastafari Song in a Strange Land
Repeat three times.
