O, Land of the free by the Carib Sea,
Our manhood we pledge to thy liberty
No tyrants here linger, despot must flee
This tranquil haven of democracy
The blood of our sires which hollows the sod,
Brought freedom from slavery oppression's rod
By the might of truth and the grace of God.
No longer shall we be hewers of wood.
Chorus:
Arise! Ye sons of the Baymen's clan,
Put on your armours, clear the land!
Drive back the tyrants let despots flee-
Land of the free by the Carib Sea!
Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold,
O'er mountains and valleys where prairies roll;
Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold
Drove back the invaders; this heritage hold
From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon,
Through coral isle,over blue lagoon;
Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon;
For freedom comes to-morrow's noon.

To posterity extend.

LA MARSEILLAISE
Allons enfants de la Patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé. Contre nous de la tyranie, L'étendard sanglant est levé (bis) Entendez vous dans les campagnes mugir ces féroces soldats Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras, égorger vos fils, vos compagnes Aux armes citoyens! Formez vos bataillons! Marchons, marchons, qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons. |
II Que veut cette horde d'esclaves De traîtres, de Roi conjurés? Pour qui ces ignobles entraves, Ces fers dès longtemps préparés? (bis) Français! pour nous, ah! quel outrage! Quels transports il doit exciter! C'est nous qu'on ose méditer De rendre à l'antique esclavage! |
III Quoi! des cohortes étrangères Feraient la loi dans nos foyers! Quoi! ces phalanges mercenaires Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers! (bis) Grans Dieu! par des mains enchaînées Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient De vils despotes deviendraient Les maîtres de nos destinées! |
IV Tremblez, tyrans! et vous, perfides, L'opprobe de tous les partis, Tremblez! vos projets parricides Vont enfin recevoir leur prix (bis) Tout est soldat pour vous combattre, S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros, La terre en produit de nouveaux Contre vous tout prêts à se battre |
V Français! en guerriers magnanimes Portez ou retenez vos coups. Epargnez ces tristes victimes A regret s'armant contre nous. (bis) Mais le despote sanguinaire, Mais les complices de Bouillé, Tous ces tigres qui sans pitié Déchirent le sein de leus mère. |
VI Nous entrerons dans la carrière, Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus Nous y trouverons leur poussière Et les traces de leurs vertus. (bis) Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre Que de partager leur cercueil, Nous aurons le sublime orgueil De les venger ou de les suivre. |
VII Amour Sacré de la Patrie Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs! Liberté, Liberté chérie! Combats avec tes défenseurs! (bis) Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire Accoure à tes mâles accents! Que tes ennemis expirant Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire. |

Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland;
March on to glory, your bright banners waving high.
See how the world marks the manner of your bearing!

Pressing onward, march together to a common loftier goal;
Steady sunward, though the weather hide the wide and treach'rous shoal.
Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland;
'Til the road you've trod
Lead unto your God,
