Gibraltar retains as its official anthem God Save the Queen in common with the other United Kingdom dependencies. However, it also has its own local anthem which was chosen in a competition in 1994. Both the lyrics and music were composed by Peter Emberley.
Lyrics
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar the rock on which I stand,
- May you be forever free, Gibraltar, my own land.
- Mighty pillar, rock of splendour, guardian of the sea,
- Port of hope in times of need, rich in history.
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand,
- May you be forever free, Gibraltar my own land.
- God give grace to this our homeland, help us to live as one,
- Strong in freedom, truth and justice, let this be our song:
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand,
- May you be forever free, Gibraltar! Gibraltar! My own land.
