Dedicated
Hail dearly
Mother Diocese, Awgu, hail
Hail oh
land of Peoples and produce
Hail dear
soil set in different planes and terrains
Hail, our
people with open arms embrace
You for us
all things have become
Hills and
Rocks for our fortress and might
And yet
lands so levels and rich for food
Oh the
beauty of mother diocese, Awgu
In thee the
brightness of our hope is sown
For once we
feebly struggled to be
And fought
the fight of faith so fierce
But lo, our
light and faith in you is born
Arise
Kings, arise chiefs
Arise
Priests and peoples young and old
Surround
our diocese in blest communion and fellowship divine
Till we
sing the sweet song: Hail Awgu, in Paradise
From
earth’s wide bounds, we praise
And oceans
farthest coasts, we praise
With the
songs of our streams and birds, we praise
Singing to
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia.
