My Land Of Birth I Pledge To Thee

My land of birth, I pledge to thee

Of whose son, I am proud to be.

               For the sake of whose pride,

               Our forefathers readily died.

Thy head crowned by mountain high,

Snow –white peak reaching up to sky.

               Thy feet washed by water blue,

               Clean   & pure  & sweet as dew.

Thy lap covered with green and gold,

Thy children true,  wise and bold.

                Thou taught forgiveness of evil done

                And love for all men “Neath the sun”.

Thou taught us strength that cannot seek,

By any means to hurt the weak.

                My honour, my pride my fate you be,  

                My land of birth, I pledge to thee.
