Lyrics
- O Land of Beauty!
- Our country where peace abounds,
- Thy children stand free
- On the strength of will and love.
- With God in all our struggles,
- Saint Kitts and Nevis be
- A nation bound together,
- With a common destiny.
- As stalwarts we stand
- For justice and liberty.
- With wisdom and truth
- We will serve and honour thee.
- No sword nor spear can conquer
- For God will sure defend.
- His blessings shall forever
- To posterity extend.
