Eternal Father Bless our Land,
This Land of Hope and Glory, guts and gut-wrenching stories
May we be free not cheapened or weakened as we seek a life of seeds and flowers
Keep us free from evil powers
Be our light through countless hours
Surround us like oceans do ships
Give stability to all who make and made the trip
From island to island
Guard us with thy mighty hand
Clasp hearts like the hands of our Grandparents and parents aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings
We know your smile is more than stars winking, sunny days, and undisturbed rest
On choppy seas we did and will not fret
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made us mighty, make us mightier yet,
Out of many one people, all are blessed to bless
Out of many one people, all are blessed to bless
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.
Vision set like moulds and starting blocks as your will renders
To our leaders, great defender
Grant true wisdom from above
May Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica and the land called home

Adrian McKenzie is a poet from Stoke-on-Trent, UK.
