1. Montserrat is my land Where the people dare to stand Taller, stronger, braver, surer, prouder, free. Tis a simple land; Tis a God-fearing land, Tis the land my fathers fought to save for me. A majestic land Rising from the sea Its mountains green so tall and so stately. A most fruitful land that yields naturally, With streams flowing fresh and pure straight to the sea. CHORUS: Land of hope, my land , my country You are mine and yours I'll be. How I love your serene beauty I will strive to keep you free. 2. Montserrat I shall build For I have the strength of will And my heart and mind body and soul I'll give. Tis a worthwhile task And what more can I ask But the right to build and live in it in peace. To my children's keep This land I'll bequeath Just as my fathers left it safe for me. And I need not fear If I take good care Right here they'll find peace and prosperity CHORUS: Land of hope my prayer is daily To defend our sovereignty All I am, mind soul and body Pledged to fight to keep us free. 3. Montserrat I'll defend Until all my strength I spend Till my feeble frame deep in the grave is laid. Hurricane, earthquake, and much more will I take Just to leave my land strength and security. I have pledged the whole My heart mind and soul All that I am and all that I can be To my simple land with which I will stand Through every test persist with dignity CHORUS: Land of hope how great the victory Sweat and blood has won for me! Nameless heroes wrought our glory We will strive to keep you free.
