Proclamation:
Hear ye, hear ye This is the King’s decree Arise, JAMAICA! Blow the trumpet among the nations Prepare the people for righteousness Rise up like a lioness Rouse yourself like a lion that does not rest Till he devours his prey! Blow the trumpet I say! Lift up a banner, Call forth the nation in our generation Life up a banner in the land! Against the walls of terror and oppression. Prepare the nation of Jamaica For righteousness! Reinforce integrity; Summon the Leaders to stand in unity Summon the poor and needy for prosperity Now is not the time for war, I say! Now is not the time for war We are our brother’s keeper! We are our brother’s keeper I say!
Chorus: Arise, JAMAICA Darling of land wood and water, Sweet sugar cane; ackee and salt fish. Together we stand Together we can Build a prosperous nation For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good.
He made the earth by His power He founded the world by His wisdom He stretched out the heavens, By His understanding. When He thunders, The waters in the heaven roar He sends lightning with rain, And bring out the wind From His storehouses Praise ye the Lord!!!
Arise, JAMAICA Darling of land wood and water, Sweet sugar cane; ackee and salt fish. Together we stand Together we can Build a prosperous nation For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good.
It’s a season of change A season of prosperity and unity. Together we can hold the banner high, Birds are flying in the sky. Flowers appearing on the earth The season of change is here It lingers in the atmosphere. The cooing of the doves can be heard throughout the length and breadth of JAMROCK. The fruit trees are blossoming And spreading their fragrance in the air.
Arise, JAMAICA Darling of land wood and water, Sweet sugar cane; ackee and salt fish Together we stand Together we can Build a prosperous nation. For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good.
Arise fellow JAMAICANS Together we can stamp out the hand of violence Annihilate the plans of unholy union Stifle the voice of corruption; One can put a thousand to flight But two can put tens of thousands to flight Together we can… Let our voice become as one.
Arise, JAMAICA Darling of land wood and water, Sweet sugar cane; ackee and salt fish Together we stand Together we can build a prosperous nation. For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good.
With God Almighty in the driver’s seat Peace will decorate the walls of JAMAICA And the promise of restoration Will be given to our children Of the Caribbean To enjoy and fulfill their dreams. Together we can; so Arise JAMAICA.
So strengthen the feeble hands among you Steady the knees that give way; Say to those with fearful hearts “Be strong; do not fear, your God will come through He will come through with vengeance, With divine retribution He will come to save you.
Arise, JAMAICA Darling of land wood and water Sweet sugar cane; ackee and salt fish Together we stand Together we can Build a prosperous nation. Together we can overcome; Out of many we are One For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good
Let us sing with one voice The voice of a “CHANGE JAMAICA”. United we stand divided we fall. Let us corporate one and all And scale the wall of obstacles For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good.
Arise, JAMAICA Darling of land wood and water, Sweet sugar cane; ackee and salt fish. Together we stand Together we can Build a prosperous nation For the Hand of the LORD is here He is here, to do us good. ARISE!! ©AW2007
