NEWFIE BULLET'S
Traditional Songs of Newfoundland
Ode to Newfoundland
When sun-rays crown thy pine-clad hills
And Summer spreads her hand
When silvern voices tune thy rills
We love thee smiling land,
We love thee, we love thee,
We love thee smiling land.
When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white
At Winter's stern command
Thro' shortened days and starlit night,
We love thee, frozen land,
We love thee, we love thee,
We love thee frozen land.
When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore
And wild waves lash thy strand
Thro' spindrift swirl and tempest roar
We love thee, windswept land,
We love thee, we love thee,
We love thee windswept land.
As loved our fathers, so we love
Where once they stood we stand.
Their prayer we raise to heav'n above,
God guard thee, Newfoundland
God guard thee, God guard thee,
God guard thee, Newfoundland.
