Barbados

BARBADOS NATIONAL ANTHEM

In plenty and in the time of need

When this fair land was young.

Our brave forefathers sowed the seed

From which our pride is sprung,

A pride that makes no wanton boast

Of what it has withstood,

That binds our hearts from coast to coast

The pride of nation hood.

CHORUS

We loyal sons and daughters all

Do hereby make it known

These fields and hills beyond recall

Are now our very own.

We write our names on history's page

With expectations great.

Strict guardians of our heritage,

Firm craftsmen of our fate.

The Lord has been the people's guide

For past three hundred years.

With Him still on the people's side

We have no doubts or fears.

Upward and onward we shall go,

Inspired, exulting, free,

And greater will our nation grow

In strength an unity.

CHORUS

We loyal sons and daughters all

Do hereby make it known

These fields and hills beyond recall

Are now our very own.

We write our names on history's page

With expectations great.

Strict guardians of our heritage,

Firm craftsmen of our fate.
