What Is The Manx National Anthem?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    LAND of our birth,
    gem of God's earth,
    O Island so strong and so fair;
    Built firm as Barool,
    Thy throne of Home Rule
    Makes us free as thy sweet mountain air
    Ye sons of the soil,
    In hardship and toil,
    That plough both the land and the sea,
    Take heart while you can,
    And think of the Man
    Who toiled by the Lake Galilee.

    When fierce tempests smote
    That frail little boat,
    They ceased at His gentle command;
    Despite all our fear,
    The Saviour is near
    To safeguard our dear Fatherland.

    Let storm-winds rejoice,
    ' And lift up their voice,
    No danger our homes can befall;
    Our green hills and rocks
    Encircle our flocks,
    And keep out the sea like a wall.

    Our Island, thus blest, No foe can molest;
    Our grain and our fish shall increase;
    From battle and sword Protecteth the Lord,
    And crowneth our nation with peace.

    Then let us rejoice
    With heart, soul, and voice,
    Ad in the Lord's promise confide;
    That each single hour
    We trust in His power
    No evil our souls can betide.
    W.H Gill
