Forged From The Love of Liberty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forged From the Love of Liberty is the national anthem of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Originally composed as the national anthem for the short-lived West Indies Federation (1958-1962), this song was adopted by Trinidad and Tobago when it became independent in 1962.
[edit] Lyrics
- Forged from the love of liberty
- In the fires of hope and prayer
- With boundless faith in our destiny
- We solemnly declare:
- Side by side we stand
- Islands of the blue Caribbean sea,
- This our native land
- We pledge our lives to thee.
- Here every creed and race finds an equal place,
- And may God bless our nation
- Here every creed and race finds an equal place,
- And may God bless our nation.
Words and music by Patrick Castagne (1916-2000).
