On April 30 2008 a panel of judges, including the Bailiff and the Minister for Education Sport and Culture selected an anthem for Jersey from a shortlist performed live at the Jersey Opera House.
The selected anthem was Gerard Le Feuvre’s “Island home”. The words are below along with a link to an mp3 version you can download.
Island home
Ours is an Island home
Firm on rock and strong by sea
Loyal and proud in history
Our thankful hearts are
Raised to God for Jersey.
The beauty of our land
Long inspires both eye and mind
Ours the privilege to guard its shore
So help we God that Jersey
Might by grace endure.
Words and music Gerard Le Feuvre
Gerard has also written arrangements of the anthem which can be downloaded from the States of Jersey website.
