O, land of the free by the Carib Sea,
O, land of the free by the Carib Sea,
our manhood we pledge to thy liberty!
our manhood we pledge to thy liberty!
No tyrants here linger, despots must flee
No tyrants here linger, despots must flee
This tranquil haven of democracy
This tranquil haven of democracy
The blood of our sires which hallows the sod,
The blood of our sires which hallows the sod,
Brought freedom from slavery oppression’s rod,
Brought freedom from slavery oppression’s rod,
By the might of truth and the grace of God.
By the might of truth and the grace of God.
No longer shall we be hewers of wood.
No longer shall we be hewers of wood.
Arise! ye sons of the Baymen’s clan,
Arise! ye sons of the Baymen’s clan,
put on your armour, clear the land!
put on your armour, clear the land!
Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee-
Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee-
Land of the Free by the Carib Sea!
Land of the Free by the Carib Sea!
Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold,
Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold,
O’er mountains and valleys where praries roll;
O’er mountains and valleys where praries roll;
Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold
Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold
Drove back the invader; this heritage hold
Drove back the invader; this heritage hold
From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon’
From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon’
Through coral isle, over blue lagoon;
Through coral isle, over blue lagoon;
Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon;
Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon;
For freedom comes tomorrow’s noon.
For freedom comes tomorrow’s noon.
