1962年 Uganda 烏干達脫離英聯邦成為 Republic of Uganda, 為紀念獨立, 要有一首自己的國歌, 於是全國公開比賽, 最後由 George Kakoma 以最短的時間, 一天內將樂譜與歌詞同時完成, 而審評未作他選而成為國歌。
Republic of Uganda
Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty
First Stanza
Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee,
We lay our future in thy hand.
United, free,
For liberty
Together we'll always stand.
Second Stanza
Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.
Our love and labour we give,
And with neighbours all
At our country's call
In peace and friendship we'll live.
Third Stanza
Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us
By sun and fertile soil grown.
For our own dear land,
We'll always stand,
