Far from your shores I’m now roaming,
Sweet Isle of the Sea in the West,
My fond heart with love o’er flowing,
Turns back to thy home I love best.
(Chorus)
Antigua dear home of our fathers,
Fair island we sing thee today,
Where heroes have fought long battles,
For nationhood, hear and obey.
(Verse 2)
When the long day is spent,
To thy beauty will I turn
When my spirits are bent
From thy waters strength I will earn.
(Chorus)
Antigua dear home of our fathers,
Fair island we sing thee today,
Where heroes have fought long battles,
For nationhood, hear and obey.
(Bridge)
As we seek to forge tomorrow,
We pray for thy future so bright;
With strength, courage and understanding,
May you ever prosper in His sight.
(Chorus)
Antigua dear home of our fathers,
Fair island we sing thee today,
Where heroes have fought long battles,
For nationhood, hear and obey.
(Outro)
Forever we’ll honor your greatness,
Antigua so beautiful and free;
In all things we give you glory,
May you flourish eternally.
