GmFrom Pakaraima’s Bpeaks of pow’r
To CmCourentGmyne’s lush Fsands,
Her cBhildren Fpledge Gmeach faithful hour
To Cmguard GuyBana’s lGmands.
To fBoil the shock of rude inGmvader
Who’d vBiolate Fher eaBrth,
To cBherish Cmand dBefend foreGmver
The SBtate that gCmave tFhem biBrth.

Like anBcient hFeroes Bbrave,
To sBbtrive and stCmrive Bband never Gmcease
With BStrength bCmeyondF the sBlave.

WithB one firm neCmver cBhanging crGmeed
The BnatiCmon’s FuniBty.
