Letra
In plenty and in time of need
When this fair land was young
Our brave forefathers sowed the seed
From which our pride has sprung
A pride that makes no wanton boast
Of what it has withstood
That binds our hearts from coast to coast
The pride of nationhood
Chorus
We loyal sons and daughters all
Do hereby make it known
These fields and hills beyond recall
Are now our very own
We write our names on history's page
With expectations great
Strict guardians of our heritage
Firm craftsmen of our fate
The Lord has been the people's guide
For past three hundred years.
With Him still on the people's side
We have no doubts or fears.
Upward and onward we shall go,
Inspired, exulting, free,
And greater will our nation grow
In strength and unity.

(Chorus)
Na abundância e no tempo de necessidade
Quando esta bela terra era jovem
Nossos bravos antepassados plantaram a semente
Da qual nasceu nosso orgulho
Um orgulho que não faz vã ostentação
Daquilo que suportou
Que une nossos corações de costa a costa
O orgulho da nacionalidade
Estribilho:
Nós filhos e filhas fiéis
Todos fazemos com isso conhecidos
Esses campos e colinas além da lembrança
Pertencem agora a nós mesmos
Escrevemos nossos nomes na página da história
Com grandes esperanças
Guardiães severos de nossa herança
Firmes realizadores de nosso destino
O Senhor tem sido o guia do povo
Pelos últimos trezentos anos.
Com Ele ainda do lado do povo
Não temos dúvidas nem temores.
Para cima e para frente deveremos ir,
Inspirados, exultando, livres,
E nossa nação irá crescer ainda mais
Em fortaleza e unidade.
(Repetição do Estribilho)
