Guyana's National Anthem

Dear Land of Guyana, of rivers and plains
Made rich by the sunshine and lush by the rains
Set gem-like and fair between mountains and sea
Your children salute you, dear land of the free

Green Land of Guyana, our heroes of yore
Both bondsmen and free, laid their bones on your shore
This soil so they hallowed, and from them are we
All sons of one mother, Guyana the free

Great Land of Guyana, to you will we give
Our homage, our service, each day that we live
God guard you, great Mother, and make us to be
More worthy our heritage-land of the free.

Guyana's National Pledge

I pledge myself to honour always the flag of
Guyana, and to be loyal to my country, to be
obedient to the laws of Guyana, to love my fellow
citizens, and to dedicate my energies towards
the happiness and prosperity of Guyana.
