Dear
land of Guyana of rivers and plains
Made
rich by the sunshine and lush by the rains
Set
gem-like and fair between mountains and seas
Your
children salute you, dear land of the free.
**********
Green
land of Guyana, our heroes of yore
Both
bondsmen and free, laid their bones on your shore;
This
soil they hallowed, and from them are we,
All
sons of one mother, Guyana the free.
**********
Great
land of Guyana, diverse through our strains
We are
born of their sacrifice, heirs of their pains,
And
ours is the glory, their eyes did not see-
One
land of six peoples, united and free.
**********
Dear
land of Guyana, to you will we give
Our
homage, our service, each day that we live;
God
guard you, great Mother and make us to be
More
worthy our heritage - land of the free.
