Cayman's National Song

I just ran home to eat lunch. Usually we eat in the cafeteria but since Dennis won't be here to join me I decided to come home. While I was working this morning, I was going through the files looking for something. I came across the National Song and wanted to post it for you to read since I was hoping one day to do that. The melody of the song is soooooo beautiful!!

Beloved Isle Cayman

Verse 1

O, land of soft, fresh breezes, of verdant trees so fair

With the Creator's glory, reflected everywhere

O sea of palest emerald, merging to darkest blue

When e're my thoughts fly Godward, I always think of you.

Chorus

Dear verdant island, set in blue Caribbean Sea,

I'm coming, coming very soon, O beauteous isle to thee.

Although I wandered far, My heart enshrines thee yet

Homeland fair, Cayman Isle, I cannot thee forget.

Verse 2

Away from noise of cities, their fret and calling care

With moon beams soft caresses, unchecked by garish glare

Thy fruit with rarest juices, abundant rich and free

When sweet Church bells are chiming, my fond heart yearns for thee.

Verse 3

When tired of all excitement, and glam'rous worldly care

How sweet thy shores to reach, and find a welcome there

And when comes on the season, of "peace, goodwill to man"

'Tis then I love thee best of all, Beloved Isle Cayman.

The kids sing this almost every Wednesday in Chapel and it is beautiful!! I hope you enjoyed reading the words!!
