"Saint Vincent, Land so Beautiful" is the national anthem of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The lyrics were written by Phyllis Joyce McClean Punnett and the music by Joel Bertram Miguel.[2]
What e'er the future brings,Our faith will see us through.May peace reign from shore to shore,And God bless and keep us true. IIHairoun, Our fair and blessed Isle,Your mountains high, so clear and green,Are home to me, though I may stray,A haven, calm, serene. IIIOur little sister islands areThose gems, the lovely Grenadines,Upon their seas and golden sandsThe sunshine ever beams. |
