THE ROYAL ETHIOPIAN CREED
Princes and Princesses must trod out of Egypt,
Ithiopians now stretch forth their hands to
Haile Selassie I, Rastafari
O' Haile Selassie I of Ithiopia, I'n'I Ivine
Majesty,
Thy Irits come into I to dwell in the parts
of righteousness.
Lead I'n'I, Help I'n'I to forgive that I'n'I
must be forgiven
Teach I'n'I love, loyalty on earth as it is
in Zion
Endow I'n'I with thy wise mind, knowledge and
overstanding to do Thy will,
Thy blessing to I'n'I O Ras Tafari. Let the
hungry be fed, the naked clothed,
The sick nourished; the aged protected, and
the infants cared for,
Deliver I'n'I from the hands of I 'n' I enemies
that I'n'I must prove fruitful in these perilous
days
When I'n'I enemies are passed and decayed
In the depths of the sea, in the depths of the
earth or in the belly of a beast
Give I'n'I a place in thy Iverliving Kingdom
Through the Power of the Kings of Kings, Lord
of Lords,
Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect
of Himself and Light of This World,
I'n'I Ivine Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie
I, Rastafari
First I-ncient King of Iration
The I art the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning
Without End, the First and Forever,
The Protector of all human faith and the Ruler
of the Iniverse
Thou art the only High Priest of the Order of
Melchisedek,
Who Liveth and Reigneth Foriver.
I'n'I hail to I'n'I Father and King Emperor
Haile Selassie I, Rastafari !
Almighty I, Rastafari, Great and Thunderable
I, Ras Tafari !
THE ROYAL ETHIOPIAN ANTHEM
Ethiopia the land of our father, The land where
Rastafari love to be.
As the swift clouds are suddenly gathered, Thy
children are gathered to thee.
With our Red Gold and Green floating over I,
With our Emperor to shield I from wrong, With
I King and I future before I n I, I n I
hail and I shout and I chant.
Chorus:
Haile Selassie I is, I Negus, Negus high, Who
keeps Ithiopia free,
To advance, to advance with truths and rights,
To advance, to advance with love and light,
With righteousness leading, I n I Hail to Rastafari
I n I King
Imanity is pleading, One Rastafari for
I n I.
0' Iternal Rastafari of all ages, Grant to I
n I sons that lead,
Thy wise mind thou has given to the ages, When
Ithiopia was so in need.
Thy voice through the dim pass has spoken, Ithiopia
now stretch forth her hand,
By HIM shall all barriers be broken, And Mt.
Zion bless our dear Father-land.
Chorus
Ethiopians, the tyrants are fallen, Who smote
thee upon thy knee,
And thy children are heartically chanting, From
over the distant sea.
Rastafari, the great one has heard I n I, He
has noted I sighs and I tears.
With the irits of love He has brought I n I,
to be one all through the tradding years.
