- 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.
