Lyrics
- O Land of Beauty!
- Our country where peace abounds,
- Thy children stand free
- On the strength of will and love.
- With God in all our struggles,
- Saint Kitts and Nevis be,
- A nation bound together,
- With a common destiny.
- As stalwarts we stand,
- For justice and liberty.
- With wisdom and truth,
- We will serve and honor thee.
- No sword nor spear can conquer,
- For God will sure defend.
- His blessings shall forever,
- To posterity extend.
gollark: Suuuuure.
gollark: I can explain the fundamental theorem of arithmetic quickly.
gollark: Do you know how prime factors work?
gollark: (I mean, cool people™ just have their computer do it instead of factoring it by hand)
gollark: Instead of not doing maths, do maths.
