 The Flag may be called “The gems”.

In the coat of arms of Saint Vincent peace and justice are represented by two women, one holding an olive branch (peace) and the other making a sacrifice over an altar (justice). The motto, in Latin, is “Pax et justitia” (“Peace and justice”).
 

 

ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES' NATIONAL ANTHEM

NOTES

Saint Vincent! Land so beautiful,
With joyful hearts we pledge to thee
Our loyalty and love, and vow
To keep you ever free.
 

CHORUS
Whate'er the future brings,
Our faith will see us through.
May peace reign from shore to shore,
And God bless and keep us true.

Hairoun! Our fair and blessed Isle,
Your mountains high, so clear and green,
Are home to me, though I may stray,
A haven, calm, serene.
 

CHORUS

Our little sister islands are
Those gems, the lovely Grenadines,
Upon their seas and golden sands
The sunshine ever beams.

CHORUS
