| My Guyana, El Dorado, | Best of all the world to me. | In my heart where'er I wander | Memory enshrineth thee. | All my hopes and aspirations | All my longings only tie | Everlasting bonds around us | As the fleeting years roll by. | ** | My Guyana, time's unfolding | More and more thy destiny, | To redeeming in lasting splendor | All the years had lost to thee | And the dawning of thy glory | O'er the long, long night is cast, | Oh arise, triumphant glorious | From the ashes of the past! |
Lyrics by Walter Mc A. Lawrence
