Intro:
I did behold
Until the proud was casted down yah
'Ave di ancient of days is
King Haile Selassie I Jah!
You know
With his garments as white as snow
His hair as pure as wool

Praise ye Jah (Hail di emperor)
Hail di emperor
Our king of kings
To a fullness
'Ave to express
Jah Jah that I always keep
Praise ye Jah (Hail di emperor)
Hail di emperor

Ay! you no see dem a ting dat from di Bible
