Highland Cathedral |
There is a land far from this distant shore |
Where heather grows and Highland eagles soar |
There is a land that will live ever more |
Deep in my heart, my Bonnie Scotland |
Though I serve so far away |
I still see your streams, cities and dreams |
I can’t wait until the day |
When I’ll come home once more |
And so Lord keep me from the harm of war |
Through all its dangers and the battle’s roar |
Keep me safe until I’m home once more |
Home to my own in Bonnie Scotland |
Land of our fathers, we will always be |
Faithful and loyal to our own country |
In times of danger, we will set you free |
Lead you to glory and to victory |
Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer |
Joining, together, with one dream to share |
God bless the people of this land so fair |
Gone is the past, let us start anew |
Let this hope of peace, always remain |
Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true |
Then your children will smile again, again, again, again |
Rise, Caledonia, let your voices ring |
In this Highland Cathedral of our God and King |
Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring |
Come; |
let your heart, with love and courage, sing |
Lonely the exile, o’er distant seas |
The home of their birth, gone from their eyes |
Bring back their souls o’er the ocean breeze |
To the land where their fathers lie |
