So my recording still isn't very brilliant, but this is one it would have been hard to edit. The words seem so poignant, and the tune murderously difficult, but neither words nor tune seem to daunt the crowd. Just a bit different from God Save the Queen.
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 sing songs of freedom with joy
For justice, liberty and prosperity
Shall forevermore 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!
