Antigua and Barbuda national anthem

Original text:

Fair Antigua and Barbuda!
We thy sons and daughters stood
Strong and firm in peace or danger
To safeguard our Native Land.
We commit ourselves to building
A true nation brave and free.
Ever striving, ever seeking,
Dwell in love and unity.

Raise the standards! Raise it boldly!
Answer now to duty\'s call
To the service of your country,
Sparing nothing, giving all.
Gird your loins and join the battle
\'Gainst fear, hate and poverty,
Each endeavoring, 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.
