NATIONAL ANTHEM
Eternal Father, bless our land,
Guard 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 week to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish;
Knowledge send us, Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours for ever,
Jamaica, Land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica
Jamaica, Land we love.

NATIONAL PLEDGE
Before God and All mankind.
I pledge the love and loyalty of my heart
The wisdom and courage of my mind,
The strength and vigour of my body
in the service of my fellow citizens.
I promise to stand up for justice,
Brotherhood and Peace, to work diligently and creatively,
To think generously and honestly, so that,
Jamaica may, under God, increase in beauty, fellowship
and prosperity, and play her part in advancing the welfare
of the whole human race.
