Lyrics

The English lyrics are as follows,

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.

There are also Grenadian Creole lyrics.

Hélé la Gwinad te annou

Nou pléjé ko an nou pou ou

Tet, tje e lanmen an younité

Pou wivé déstinasyon nou

Toujou konésas an Djé

Pwéjé Héwitaj an Nou

Sé pou nou an lafwa eve kouwaj

Anspiwé, bati, avansé

Kon yonn sel moun

Yonn sel fanmi

Djé benni nasyon annou
