The National Anthem of St Lucia
1. Sons and daughters of Saint Lucia love the land that gave us birth. Land of beaches, hills and valleys, fairest isle of all the earth. Where-so-ever you may roam, love, oh love, our island home.
2. 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.
3. 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 ideals forever be.
These lyrics were first adopted in 1967 when St. Lucia became self-governing; the national anthem was confirmed upon independence in 1979.
Written by Charles Jesse, the music is by Leton Felix Thomas.
