[Chorus]
God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday that sun will cease to shine,
Oh, I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Verse]
"This lovely land," the old man said,
"Will be alive when we are dead",
My fathers words still haunt my mind,
For it's God bless this lovely land of mine.

[Chorus]
So, God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday that sun will cease to shine,
Oh, I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Verse]
Through misty eyes, I see my land,
I hunger for her future grand,
What greater hunger can there be?
For I hunger still, to see her free.

[Chorus]
So, God bless this lovely land of mine,
And God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday that sun will cease to shine,
Oh, I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Verse]
My gallant comrades have passed away,
And with this song I'll sing today,
I'll sing this song before I die,
For it's God bless this lovely land of mine.

[Chorus]
So, God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday that sun will cease to shine,
Oh, I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Chorus]
So, God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday that sun will cease to shine,
Oh, I'll desert this lovely land of mine,
Yes, I'll desert this lovely land of mine.
