Newfoundland National Anthem

ODE TO NEWFOUNDLAND

When sun rays crown thy pine-clad hills.
And summer spreads her hand.
When silvern voices tune thy rills.
We love thee, smiling land.
We love thee. We love thee. We love thee smiling land.

When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white.
At winter's stern command.
Thru shortened day and star-lit night.
We love thee, frozen land.
We love thee. We love thee. We love thee frozen land.

When blinding storms gusts fret they shore.
And wild waves lash they strand.
Thru spindrift swirl and tempest roar.
We love thee, wind swept land.
We love thee. We love thee. We love thee, wind swept land.

As loved our fathers, so we love.
Where once they stood we stand.
Their prayer we raise to heaven above.
God guard thee, Newfoundland.
God guard thee. God guard thee.
God guard thee, Newfoundland.

No matter where I live, this is and always will be my National Anthem
Oh, Canada and God Save The Queen are next.
