Lyrics

God bless our lovely homeland
From mountain peaks to golden sands
Land of the brave and land of the free
The brave and the free
Enfold her children in your hands
Beneath the Southern Cross we stand
One mighty Christian family
CHORUS:
Oh Bougainville,
My Bougainville,
Bless Bougainville.
The smile of God upon her face
The pride and joy of all the race
She wears beneath her purple sheen
Her mantle of green
Today we pledge our love and life
We'll stand by you in every strife
Our own dear home, our motherland
CHORUS
