Originaltext
- 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.
