“For The Gambia Our Homeland” is the National Anthem of Gambia, written by Virginia Julia Howe and composed by Jeremy F. Howe (based on the traditional Mandinka song “Foday Kaba Dumbuya”). It was adopted after an international competition to produce a state anthem (and flag) before independence in 1965.

Gambia National Anthem in English:
For The Gambia, our homeland
We strive and work and pray,
That all may live in unity,
Freedom and peace each day.
Let justice guide our actions
Towards the common good,
And join our diverse peoples
To prove man’s brotherhood.
We pledge our firm allegiance,
Our promise we renew;
Keep us, great God of nations,
To The Gambia ever true.
