Eternal Father, Bless our Land,
Guide us with thy mighty hand,
Keep us free from evil powers,
Be our light through countless hours,
To our leaders, great defender,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love
Teach us true respect for all,
Stir response to duty's call,
Strengthen us the weak to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish,
Knowledge send us Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love
Above is the Jamaica National Anthem. This has been a great source of pride for many Jamaicans both locally and abroad. The sad part is that with the violence and unrest in the country, the vision that the anthem presents seems to be lost.
Jamaica is a wonderful country, full of vibrant, peaceful people. However, as in any country that faces constant poverty, greed and corruption can take its toll.
I want to come back to the country that represnts my national anthem. It is the land I love.
