| Lyrics: | 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.
