Echoes of Anthems

By: Naa Doodua Doodua (Little Observer)

In Elmina’s heart, the faithful came, clothed in kente, proud of name. Tradition wrapped in colours bright,
A solemn worship, a joyful sight.

The priest and people, side by side,
With voices strong, with hearts of pride.
The anthem rose, both smooth and grand,
Like ocean waves upon the sand.

From youth to elder, zeal was shown,
A love for Ghana has grown deeply.
Their echoes thundered, wide and free,
A hymn of unity, dignity.

I felt the warmth, the country’s flame,
The love that binds, the sacred claim.
Happy Ghana month, O Ghana dear,
Long live the land we hold so near.

Long live St. Francis, guiding true,
Long live the Franciscan Youth too.
Long live our motherland, bold and strong,
Forever cherished in prayer and song.
