'Citizen 23' -The Countryman's Prayer

God bless our homeland Ghana,
And make our nation great and strong,
Bold to defend for ever,
The cause of Freedom and of Right.
Fill our hearts with true humility
Make us cherish fearless honesty,
And help us to resist oppressor's rule
With all our will and might for evermore

The National Anthem of Ghana: A three stanza anthem with song lyrics written by Michael Kwame Gbordzoe in the year 1970. It's music was composed by Philip Gheho in the same year. Before this anthem was adapted by the newly independent state, Gold Coast sang the anthem of its colonial masters(God Bless The Queen).
