(TUNE: AUSTRIA)
Lagos Diocese, premier Diocese,
of Anglican Communion;
We are primus inter pares,
First among equals, bless'd one.
Tenth December, nineteen, nineteen,
Praise the Lord! He's done great things,
Lagos Diocese, foremost Diocese,
Came to be, through love and peace.
Our Divine, Mandate of five-fold,
Clear and apt, to build the Church;
From above came like that of old,
For the mission of the Church,
Priestly, Pastoral, Prophetic,
Pray'r and Praise to reach a peak.
Help, O Lord Thy charge to fufill,
Thy perfect will to do stil.
God our Father, bless our Diocese,
Bless our Bishop, we pray Thee,
Bless Thy people of this Diocese,
Our existence, keep for Thee,
All believers to edify,
And Thy name to glorify,
Multiply Disciples for Thee,
And at last to reign with Thee. Amen.
