The anthem, "Jamaica, Land We Love," is a prayer for divine guidance and a pledge of patriotism.
Eternal Father, bless our land / Guard us with Thy mighty hand / Keep us free from evil's pow'r / In peace and righteousness.
Jamaica, land we love / Jamaica, land we love / Jamaica, land we love / Our own dear native land.
Teach us true respect for all / Stir response to duty's call / Strengthen us the weak to raise / And mold our minds with lasting praise.
Preserve the beauty of our Isle / Keep us from envy and strife / Father help us to defend / Both life and liberty.
The chorus repeats after each verse, reinforcing love for the homeland.
