Lyrics
Rise, O voices of Rhodesia.
God may we thy bounty share
Give us strength to face all danger
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.
Rise, O voices of Rhodesia.
Bringing her your proud acclaim,
Grandly echoing through the mountains,
Rolling o'er the far-flung plain.
Roaring in the mighty rivers,
Joining in one grand refrain,
Ascending to the sunlit heavens,
Telling of her honoured name.

cool quiz, but one error; there's a missing "the" in "rolling over the far-flung plain"

Thanks for pointing out, but according to the official version there is no "the". See: http://www.rhodesia.com/docs/anthem.html

i'd assume its an error on their end, seeing as every other source i could find uses a "the" and the line wouldn't be grammatically correct without it

Fixed, thank you! The line without "the" would still be accepted.
