Fair Antigua and Barbuda!
Fair Antigua and Barbuda!
We thy sons and daughters stand
We thy sons and daughters stand
Strong and firm in peace or danger
Strong and firm in peace or danger
To safe-guard our Native Land
To safe-guard our Native Land
We commit ourselves to building
We commit ourselves to building
A true nation brave and free;
A true nation brave and free;
Ever striving, ever seeking,
Ever striving, ever seeking,
Dwell in love and unity
Dwell in love and unity
Raise the standard! Raise it boldly!
Raise the standard! Raise it boldly!
Answer now to duty’s call
Answer now to duty’s call
To the service of thy country,
To the service of thy country,
Sparing nothing, giving all;
Sparing nothing, giving all;
Gird your loins and join the battle
Gird your loins and join the battle
‘Gainst fear, hate and poverty,
‘Gainst fear, hate and poverty,
Each endeavouring, all achieving,
Each endeavouring, all achieving,
Live in peace where man is free.
Live in peace where man is free.
God of nations, let Thy blessings
God of nations, let Thy blessings
Fall upon this land of ours;
Fall upon this land of ours;
Rain and sunshine ever sending,
Rain and sunshine ever sending,
Fill her fields with crops and flowers;
Fill her fields with crops and flowers;
We her children do implore Thee,
We her children do implore Thee,
Give us strength, faith, loyalty,
Give us strength, faith, loyalty,
Never failing, all enduring
Never failing, all enduring
To defend her liberty.
To defend her liberty.
