Fifty Five, Total Years, and moving on,
Anguilla proud and strong and free.
This our fifty-fifth anniversary, a proud moment in our history,
Celebrate it with pomp and pageantry, Emerald Jubilee.
Honour heroes of The Revolution, building on their firm foundation.
We celebrate them with pomp and pageantry, Emerald Jubilee.
May the spirit of brotherhood and love, fall on us from The Lord,
Descend on us like rays of peace from above (above)
Chorus:
Let the church bells ring, (Praise Him), and the choirs sing, (Praise Him),
Fifty-five are we, (Praise Him), Our Emerald Jubilee.
Many storms we faced, (Praise Him), but shielded by His Grace, (Praise Him)
Fifty five are we, (Praise Him), Our Emerald Jubilee.
So with God we trod, to our Nationhood,
Fifty five are we, Our Emerald Jubilee.
Let your voices rise, to The Lord Most High,
Anguilla strong and free, Our Emerald Jubilee.
Going forward together is the key, to climb the stairs of prosperity,
Fairness and justice must be common place, Emerald Jubilee.
Come together as we commemorate, stand together as we celebrate,
Our strength will be our unity, Emerald Jubilee.
Let hatred, intolerance disappear, let peace reign for more years,
And love and cohesion reign for many more years (more years).
