JAMAICA'S National Anthem

 

Eternal Father, bless our land,
Guard us with Thy Mighty Hand,
Keep us free from evil powers,
Be our light through countless hours;
To our leaders, Great Defender,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, Truth, be ours forever,
Jamaica, Land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica,
Jamaica Land we love.

Teach us true respect for all,
Stir response to duty's call,
Strengthen us the week to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish;
Knowledge send us, Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours for ever,
Jamaica, Land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica
Jamaica, Land we love.

Words by Rev. Hugh Braham Sherlock
Music by Robert Charles Lightbourne
