-
O land of our birth,
-
O gem of God’s earth,
-
O Island so strong and so fair;
-
Built firm as Barrule,
-
Thy Throne of Home Rule
-
Makes us free as thy sweet mountain air.
-
When Orry, the Dane,
-
In Mannin did reign,
-
'
Twas said he had come from above;
-
For wisdom from Heav’n
-
To him had been giv’n
-
To rule us with justice and love.
-
Our fathers have told
-
How Saints came of old,
-
Proclaiming the Gospel of Peace;
-
That sinful desires,
-
Like false Baal fires,
-
Must die ere our troubles can cease.
-
Ye sons of the soil,
-
In hardship and toil,
-
That plough both the land and the sea,
-
Take heart while you can,
-
And think of the Man
-
Who toiled by the Lake Galilee.
|
When fierce tempests smote
-
That frail little boat,
-
They ceased at His gentle command;
-
Despite all our fear,
-
The Saviour is near
-
To safeguard our dear Fatherland.
-
Let storm-winds rejoice,
-
And lift up their voice,
-
No danger our homes can befall;
-
Our green hills and rocks
-
Encircle our flocks,
-
And keep out the sea like a wall.
-
Our Island, thus blest, No foe can molest;
-
Our grain and our fish shall increase;
-
From battle and sword Protecteth the Lord,
-
And crowneth our nation with peace.
-
Then let us rejoice
-
With heart, soul and voice,
-
And in The Lord’s promise confide;
-
That each single hour
-
We trust in His power,
-
No evil our souls can betide.
