Barbados Anthem Text Lyrics - National Anthem

In plenty and in time of need 

When this fair land was young 

Our brave forefathers sowed the seed 

From which our pride has sprung 

A pride that makes no wanton boast 

Of what it has withstood 

That binds our hearts from coast to coast 

The pride of nationhood 

chorus 

We loyal sons and daughters all 

Do hereby make it known 

These fields and hills beyond recall 

Are now our very own 

We write our names on history's page 

With expectations great 

Strict guardians of our heritage 

Firm craftsmen of our fate 

The Lord has been the people's guide 

For past three hundred years. 

With Him still on the people's side 

We have no doubts or fears. 

Upward and onward we shall go, 

Inspired, exulting, free, 

And greater will our nation grow 

In strength and unity.
