"God Bless our Sunny Clime" is the national song of The Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Its music was composed by Timothy Gibson (composer and teacher) and E. Clement Bethel (composer, and Director of Culture of the Bahamas). The lyrics were written by the Rev. Philip Rahming, a Baptist minister and lecturer at the College of the Bahamas.
It should not be confused with the country's national anthem, "March On, Bahamaland", nor with the royal anthem, "God Save the King".

Lyrics
God Bless our sunny clime spur us to height sublime to keep men free let brothers sisters stand Firm trusting hand in hand throughout Bahamalan One brotherhood, one brotherhood.
Let gratefulness ascend, courageous deeds extend From isle to isle. Long let us treasure peace, So may our lives increase, our prayers never cease. Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring!
The long, long night has passed, the morning breaks at last, From shore to shore, sunrise with golden gleam Sons n' daughters, share the dream, for one working team One brotherhood, one brotherhood.
Not for this time nor for this chosen few alone We pledge ourselves. Live loyal to our God. Love country, friend and foe, oh help us by thy might! Great God our King! Great God Our King![1]</poem>
