- Anthem Lyrics English
- Fair Antigua, we salute thee! Proudly we this anthem raise To thy glory and thy beauty, Joyfully we sing the praise Of the virtues, all bestowed On thy sons and daughters free
- Ever striving, ever seeking, Dwell in love and unity. Raise the standard! Raise it boldly! Answer now to duty's call To the service of thy country, Sparing nothing, giving all
- Gird your loins and join the battle 'Gainst fear, hate and poverty, Each endeavouring, all achieving, Live in peace where man is free. God of nations, let Thy blessings Fall upon this land of ours
- Rain and sunshine ever sending, Fill her fields with crops and flowers
- We her children do implore Thee, Give us strength, faith, loyalty, Never failing, all enduring To defend her liberty.
