:All hail our Virgin Islands.
:Em'ralds of the sea,
:Where beaches bright with coral sand 
:And trade winds bless our native land.
:All hail our Virgin Islands,
:Bathed in waters blue,
:We give our loyalty, 
:Full to thee,
:And pledge allegiance forever true.


:To thee our Virgin Islands,
:Loving voices raise
:A song in praise of brotherhood,
:Where right makes might to fight for good.
:To thee our Virgin Islands,
:Haven of the free,
:We sing our love to thee,

:In the joyful throng,
:Uphold the right and right the wrong 
:Where only peace and love belong.
:March on oh Virgin Islands,

:Forever soldiers in freedom's band.
