We, the new generation of the Jamaica Merseyside Association, are very proud to continue the work of our predecessors. In order to reinforce the Jamaican network, we will strengthen the profile of the Jamaica Merseyside Association.

 The Jamaica National Anthem

Jamaica, Land We Love

 Words by Hugh Sherlock, music by Robert Lightbourne

Eternal Father, Bless our Land,
Guard us with thy mighty hand,
Keep us free from evil powers,
Be our light through countless hours,
To our leaders, great defender,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love

Teach us true respect for all,
Stir response to duty's call,
Strengthen us the weak to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish,
Knowledge send us Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love
