"Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia" (or "Voices of Rhodesia") was the national anthem of Rhodesia between 1974 and 1979. The tune was that of "Ode to Joy", from Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

(English 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.
