Lyrics
- God bless our lovely homeland
- From mountain peaks to golden sands
- Land of the brave and land of the free
- The brave and the free
- Enfold her children in your hands
- Beneath the Southern Cross we stand
- One mighty Christian family
- CHORUS:
- Oh Bougainville,
- My Bougainville,
- Bless Bougainville.
- The smile of God upon her face
- The pride and joy of all the race
- She wears beneath her purple sheen
- Her mantle of green
- Today we pledge our love and life
- We'll stand by you in every strife
- Our own dear home, our motherland
- CHORUS
