                                National Anthem of Barbados

                                In plenty and in time of need
                                When this fair land was young
                                Our brave forefathers sowed the seed
                                From which our pride was sprung
                                A pride that makes no wanton boast
                                Of what it has withstood
                                That binds our hearts from coast to coast
                                The pride of nationhood

                                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 and unity.

                                Chorus
