* Isle of beauty, isle of splendour,
* Isle to all so sweet and fair,
* All must surely gaze in wonder
* At thy gifts so rich and rare.
* Rivers, valleys, hills and mountains,
* All these gifts we do extol.
* Healthy land, so like all fountains,
* Giving cheer that warms the soul.
* Dominica, God hath blest thee
* With a clime benign and bright,
* Pastures green and flowers of beauty
* Filling all with pure delight,
* And a people strong and healthy,
* Full of godly reverent fear.
* May we ever seek to praise Thee
* For these gifts so rich and rare.
* Come ye forward, sons and daughters
* Of this gem beyond compare.
* Strive for honour, sons and daughters,
* Do the right, be firm, be fair.
* Toil with hearts and hands and voices.
* We must prosper! Sound the call,
* In which ev'ryone rejoices,
* "All for Each and Each for All."
