The Philippine Hymn

The Philippine Hymn

Land of the morning,

Child of the sun returning,

With fervor burning

Thee do our souls adore.

Land dear and holy,

Cradle of noble heroes,

Ne'er shall invaders

Trample thy sacred shores.

Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds,

And o'er thy hills and seas,

Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb

Of glorious liberty.

Thy banner dear to all our hearts,

Its sun and stars alight,

Oh, never shall its shining fields

Be dimmed by tyrant's might!

Beautiful land of love, o land of light,

In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie,

But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged,

For us, thy sons to suffer and die.
