National Anthem and Pledge

National Anthem

"Forged from the Love of Liberty" was composed in 1962 by Patrick S. Castagne.

Forged from the love of liberty
In the fires of hope and prayer
With boundless faith in our destiny
We solemnly declare:

Side by side we stand
Islands of the blue Caribbean Sea,
This our native land
We pledge our lives to thee.

Here every creed and race find an equal place,
And may God bless our nation
Here every creed and race find an equal place,
And may God bless our nation.
