Encyclopedia > Lumbanyeni Zambia

"Stand and Sing of Zambia, Proud and Free" or "Lumbanyeni Zambia" is the national anthem of Zambia. The tune is taken from the hymn "Nkosi Sikelel'iAfrika," which was composed by a South African, Enoch Sontonga, in 1897. "Nkosi Sikelel'iAfrika" forms the first verse of South Africa's national anthem.

Fashion'd with and blessed by God's good hand,
Let us all her people join as one,
