Isle of beauty, isle of splendor,
Isle of beauty, isle of splendor,
Isle to all so sweet and fair,
Isle to all so sweet and fair,
All must surely gaze in wonder
All must surely gaze in wonder
At thy gifts so rich and rare.
At thy gifts so rich and rare.
Rivers, valleys, hills and mountains,
Rivers, valleys, hills and mountains,
All these gifts we do extol.
All these gifts we do extol.
Healthy land, so like all fountains,
Healthy land, so like all fountains,
Giving cheer that warms the soul.
Giving cheer that warms the soul.
Dominica, God hath blest thee
Dominica, God hath blest thee
With a clime benign and bright,
With a clime benign and bright,
Pastures green and flowers of beauty
Pastures green and flowers of beauty
Filling all with pure delight,
Filling all with pure delight,
And a people strong and healthy,
And a people strong and healthy,
Full of godly, rev’rent fear.
Full of godly, rev’rent fear.
May we ever seek to praise Thee
May we ever seek to praise Thee
For these gifts so rich and rare.
For these gifts so rich and rare.
Come ye forward, sons and daughters
Come ye forward, sons and daughters
Of this gem beyond compare.
Of this gem beyond compare.
Strive for honour, sons and daughters,
Strive for honour, sons and daughters,
Do the right, be firm, be fair.
Do the right, be firm, be fair.
Toil with hearts and hands and voices.
Toil with hearts and hands and voices.
We must prosper! Sound the call,
We must prosper! Sound the call,
In which ev’ryone rejoices,
In which ev’ryone rejoices,
“All for Each and Each for All.”
“All for Each and Each for All.”
