You can hear the anthem being passionately bellowed out across the rooftops when the national Fiji Sevens Rugby team plays, people gather around their TVs to watch their heroes becoming one soul and one nation. The children of Fiji are taught the words and their symbolic meanings every week during assembly, uniting the country through the generations.
Lyrics of the national anthem
Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji,
As we stand united under noble banner blue.
And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever,
Onward march together,
God bless Fiji!
CHORUS
For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride,
For Fiji, ever Fiji, her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope, and glory to endure whatever befall
May God bless Fiji, for evermore!
Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji,
Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness, and song.
Stand united, we of Fiji, fame, and glory ever,
Onward march together, God bless Fiji!
