Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand.
May you be forever free, Gibraltar, my own land.
Mighty pillar, rock of splendour, guardian of the sea.
Port of hope in times of need, rich in history.
Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand.
May you be forever free, Gibraltar, my own land.
God give grace to this our homeland, help us to live as one.
Strong in freedom, truth and justice, let this be our song;
Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand.
May you be forever free, Gibraltar! Gibraltar! my own land.

Gibraltar

Words by:Peter Emberley
Music by:Peter Emberley
Adopted:1994

The local anthem of this British colony was chosen as a result of a competition
and officially adopted on October 18, 1994.

Gibraltar's anthem is a perfect example of what an anthem should be, stirring
and simple, while encapulating how natives and the world view the country. As
such, Gibraltar's anthem is one of my top favourites.
