Philippines Anthem Text Lyrics - National Anthem

Land of the morning 

Child of the sun returning 

With fervor burning 

Thee do our souls adore. 

Land dear and holy, 

Cradle of noble heroes, 

Ne'er shall invaders 

Trample thy sacred shores. 

Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds 

And o'er thy hills and seas; 

Do we behold thy radiance, feel the throb 

Of glorious liberty. 

Thy banner dear to all hearts 

Its sun and stars alright, 

Oh, never shall its shining fields 

Be dimmed by tyrants might. 

Beautiful land of love, oh land of light, 

In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie; 

But it is glory ever when thou art wronged 

For us thy sons to suffer and die.
