: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, 
:Joyously, 
:Our own fair islands of liberty.


:March on oh Virgin Islands, 
:In the joyful throng,
:Uphold the right and right the wrong 
:Where only peace and love belong.
:March on oh Virgin Islands,
:Democratic land.
:Together hand in hand, 
:Take your stand, 
:Forever soldiers in freedom's band.


:God bless our Virgin Islands,
:Humbly now we pray,
:Where all mankind can join today 
:In friendly warmth of work and play.
:God bless our Virgin Islands, 
:Beautiful and tall.
:Beneath a sunny sky, 
:Hilltops high 
:Hold out a welcome for one and all.
