Ee Mungu nguvu yetu
Ilete baraka kwetu

Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi
Natukae na udugu

Amani na uhuru
Raha tupate na ustawi.

Amkeni ndugu zetu
Tufanye sote bidii

Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Nchiyetu ya Kenya tunayoipenda
Tuwe tayari kuilinda.

Natujenge taifa letu
Ee ndio wajibu wetu

Kenya istahili heshima
Tuungane mikono pamoja kazini
Kila siku tuwe nashukrani.

O God of all creation,

Bless this our land and nation.

Justice be our shield and defender,

May we dwell in unity,

Peace and liberty.

Plenty be found within our borders.

Let one and all arise

With hearts both strong and true.

Service be our earnest endeavor,

And our Homeland of Kenya,

Heritage of splendour,

Firm may we stand to defend.

Let all with one accord

In common bond united,

Build our nation together,

And the glory of Kenya,

The fruit of our labour

Fill every heart with thanksgiving.
