Wind-whipped Cape Spear
Shores lashed by Atlantic Seas.
Down the vista of my years,
You've ever been a part of me.

How I long to tread the path
Winding to your lighthouse there!
Memories live in my heart...
Evoking smiles! Evoking tears!

In endless splendor you still stand
Goddess wreathed by Heavenly hills.
May God guard thee, lovely land.
Ring out! Ring out, cathedral bells.
