    Lyrics
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rise o voices of Rhodesia god may we thy bounty share, give us strength to face all danger, and were challenge is to dare. Guide us lord to wise decision, ever of thy grace aware, oh let our hearts beat bravely Always, for this land within thy care!
    Rise o voices of rhodesia! Bringing her your proud aclaim, grandly echoing through the mountains, Rolling O'er the far flung plain! Roaring in the mighty rivers, joining in one grand refrain, ascending through the sunlit heavens, telling of her honoured name! X2
    LETRAS ESPAÑOL
    Arriba, oh voces de Rodesia, Dios, compartiremos tu generosidad, danos fuerza para enfrentar todo peligro, y donde el reto esta, a atreverse. Guíanos señor a sabias decisiones, Siempre de tu gracia consciente, oh, deja que nuestros corazones latan valientemente siempre, por esta tierra bajo tu cuidado.
    ¡Arriba, oh voces de Rodesia! Trayendo tu orgullosa reclamación, resonando grandiosamente a través de las montañas, rodando en la lejana llanura. ¡Rugiendo en los poderosos ríos, uniéndose en un gran estribillo, ascendiendo a los paraísos, hablando de su nombre honorífico! X2

    And where challenge is, to dare.
    Guide us, Lord, to wise decision,
    Ever of Thy grace aware,
    Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always
    For this land within Thy care.

    Bringing her your proud acclaim,
    Grandly echoing through the mountains,

    Ascending to the sunlit heavens,
    Telling of her honoured name.

I do know though, that Rhodesians would've always backed the underdog, like Israel, Ulster etc. But it would've also backed other countries in a similar position to which it was in during the 70s, such as Bosnia, Croatia, Armenia and Syria.
