Original Lyrics in English
Isle of beauty, isle of splendour,
Isle to all so sweet and fair,
All must surely gaze in wonder
At thy gifts so rich and rare,
Rivers, valleys, hills and mountains,
All these gifts we do exalt,
Healthy land, so like all fountains,
Giving cheer that never fails.
Chorus:
And because so loved by all,
All must surely gaze in wonder
At thy gifts so rich and rare.
