What is the title of Liberia’s national anthem, whose refrain includes “Hail, Liberia, hail”?

Liberia’s national anthem is titled “All Hail, Liberia, Hail!”

The lyrics were written by President Daniel Bashiel Warner, who served as Liberia’s third president. The music was composed by Olmstead Luca. The anthem celebrates Liberia as a home of liberty and emphasizes loyalty to the country and its distinctive history.

Liberia declared independence in 1847, making it Africa’s oldest modern republic. Its flag and political institutions were influenced by the United States, but Liberia developed its own national symbols and identity.

The anthem is sometimes confused with “The Lone Star Forever,” a patriotic Liberian song that is not the national anthem. The phrase “Hail, Liberia, hail” is both the refrain and the source of the official title.
