National Anthem & Pledge

Usain Bolt has been the spearhead of Jamaica's successful performance in Beijing 2008

Eternal Father bless our land,
Guide 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 weak to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish.
Knowledge send us Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above.
Justice, Truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love.
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica land we love.

Jamaican Pledge of Allegiance

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 citizen.
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.
