Lyrics

Hail to Bermuda,

My island in the sun.

Sing out in glory

To the nation we've become.

We've grown from heart to heart,

And strength to strength,

The privilege is mine

To sing long live Bermuda,

Because this island's mine!

Hail to Bermuda,

My homeland dear to me.

This is my own land

Built on faith

And unity.

We've grown from heart to heart

And strength to strength,

For Loyalty is Prime

So sing long live Bermuda,

Because this island's mine!
