"Oh Uganda,May God uphold thee is the national anthem of Uganda. George Wilberforce Kakoma composed the music and authored the lyrics. It was adopted as the national anthem in 1962, when the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. It is musically one of the shortest national anthems in the world. Consequently, multiple verses are sung when it is performed in public.

Stanza I Oh Uganda! May God uphold thee, We lay our future in thy hand, United, free, For liberty, Together we'll always stand.

Stanza II Oh Uganda! The land of Freedom, Our love and labor we give, And with neighbors' all, At our Country's call, In peace and friendship, we'll live.

Stanza III - Oh Uganda! The land that Feeds us, By sun and fertile soil grown, For our own dear land, We'll always stand, The Pearl of Africa's Crown.
