Hymne Barbados

In plenty and in time of need

When this fair land was young Our brave forefathers sowed the seed From which our pride was 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 Refrain: 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. Refrain

In plenty and in time of need,

When this fair land was young, By the power of God, our heroes won The right for us to be free. We, the people, pledge our lives To serve and safeguard our land From the heights of the hilltop To the depths of the ocean blue.
