The Island Hymn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Island Hymn is the patriotic song of the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. The hymn's lyrics were written in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery. [1]

Fair Island of the sea,

We raise our song to thee,

The bright and blest;

Loyally now we stand

As brothers, hand in hand,

And sing God save the land

We love the best.

Upon our princely Isle

May kindest fortune smile

In coming years;

Peace and prosperity

In all her borders be,

From every evil free,

And weakling fears.

Prince Edward Isle, to thee

Our hearts shall faithful be

Where'er we dwell;

Forever may we stand

As brothers, hand in hand,

And sing God save the land

We love so well.
