Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Grenada's national anthem, "Hail Grenada", was adopted upon independence on February 7, 1974. Its creation reflects the collaborative spirit of the new nation.
Hail Grenada, land of ours,
We pledge ourselves to thee,
Heads, hearts and hands in unity
To reach our destiny.
Ever conscious of God,
Being proud of our heritage,
May we with faith and courage
Aspire, build, advance
As one people, one family.
God bless our nation.
The anthem's themes—unity, heritage, faith, collective progress—mirrored the aspirations of a newly sovereign Grenada emerging from British associated statehood. Masanto, a Grenadian musician and educator, crafted a melody accessible for school singing and ceremonial use. Baptiste contributed the poetic structure.
Performance protocol: Played at official functions, school assemblies, independence celebrations (Feb 7), and international events. Typically sung in English (official language), though Grenadian Creole translations exist informally.
