Sons and daughters of St Lucia,
Love the land that gave us birth,
Land of beaches, hills and valleys,
Fairest isle of all the earth
Wheresoever you may roam,
Love, oh love your island home
Gone the times when nations battled
For this 'Helen of the West,
Gone the days when strife and discord
Dimmed her children's toil and rest
Dawns at last a brighter day,
Stretches out a glad new way
May the good Lord bless our island,
Guard her sons from woe and harm!
May our people live united,
Strong in soul and strong in arm!
Justice, Truth and Charity,
Our ideal for ever be!
