The song was first performed in 1967[1] and was adopted as the national anthem upon independence from the United Kingdom in 1979.
The lyrics were written by Phyllis Joyce McClean Punnett and the music by Joel Bertram Miguel.
Saint Vincent, Land so beautiful With joyful hearts we pledge to thee Our loyalty and love and vow To keep you ever free.
Hairoun, Our fair and blessed Isle, Your mountains high, so clear and green, Are home to me, though I may stray, A haven, calm, serene.
Our little sister islands are Those gems, the lovely Grenadines, Upon their seas and golden sands The sunshine ever beams.
